🎙️ EPISODE 401: 02.15.22 The Brain is not just notable because it features a hilarious sequence in which a crazed evil orderly chops a cop's head clean off with an axe. You definitely should not watch The Brain, a small-budget 1988 Canadian science fiction horror film depicting a giant brain-like alien that terrorize, because it features a hilarious sequence in which a crazed evil orderly chops a cop's head clean off with an axe. Anyone who tells you that is wrong and likely just a cop-hating, unAmerican hack film critic looking for clout. No, dear reader, you should definitely not watch The Brain because of that, even if that is 100% definitely something that happens in it. You should simply watch The Brain because of its Grade A practical FX, monster designs and underrated set-pieces, like this from the beginning of the film wherein a young lady hallucinates the fuck out in her bedroom...

As noted on the podcast, I watched this one completely on a whim. Because I randomly saw this tweet which wasn't even about the damn movie. We in the biz call things like that, Serendipity (2001, starring John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale & Jeremy Piven). But damn I am glad that happened because while this is certainly not a great movie, its great moments are really tremendous and more than worth your 90 minutes of time.
