which is better?

Videodrome

‘drome.

It’s more profound in its implications and predictive insights, and just more intriguing - you have no idea where it’s going. Scanners is more generic.

I like both but prefer Videodrome.

I was going to say Videodrome, but when I checked to make sure I was thinking of the right film for the other one, I realized I was thinking of Screamers(1995). (A bit puzzled why you were comparing them, to be honest.) I don't know if I've ever seen Scanners!

both are cronenberg movies.

No I mean, I was confused as to why you were comparing Videodrome and Screamers. (Which I later realized you weren't.)

Both are great but I prefer Videodrome.
