Special Report: Addison Heimann on Touch Me (2025)
Mike sits down with writer-director Addison Heimann to discuss Touch Me — a psychosexual sci-fi horror-comedy about codependency, addiction, and the seductive promise that something out there could touch you and make all the pain go away.
Codependent best friends Joey (Olivia Taylor Dudley) and Craig (Jordan Gavaris) find themselves homeless, Joey's mysterious ex resurfaces with an offer too good to refuse.
Heimann talks with Mike about mining autobiography for genre material, the influence of hentai on the film's plot, and what it means to make a movie about addiction from a place of real pain.
