Videodrome is one of the the biggest WTFs of the 1980s. Max (James Woods) is the president of a sleazy TV station and he’s looking for the next big thing. He comes across a pirated channel airing “Videodrome” – basically, a plotless show about people having sex and getting tortured in a bright orange room. After viewing this show, Max gets intense hallucinations. I mean, fucking intense:
WTF? He’s making out with the TV.
Now he’s putting a gun in the vagina-looking thing that appeared on his abdomen.
Squishy things coming out of a guy he murdered. Long live the new flesh?

He thinks he’s found the program of his dreams when he’s introduced to Videodrome. Torture, murder, no plot. It’s got it all. And best of all, it looks so real. Max becomes obsessed with Videodrome and he soon learns his recent hallucinations are an intended side-effect of Videodrome’s brain tumor-inducing signal. It’s not long before there’s no longer a distinction between reality and hallucination, culminating with Max sporting a gaping hole in his stomach, a perfect receptacle for fleshy video tapes. He gets caught up in the struggle between Videodrome and those who want to bring it down. From there, things only get weirder. [...]
