The Brain (1988) is our second film from director Ed Hunt (Alien Warrior). While not nearly as insane as that film, it does have its own “Uhhh, what the heck is this?” thing going on. Canadian teens are menaced by a giant brain that eats people and wants a popular TV show. And it’s a Christmas movie.

BMFcast531 – Point Blank – Danny Treblow
Point Blank (1998) features a frightening Mickey Rourke infiltrating a Texas shopping mall that has been taken over by escaped prisoners, including Danny Trejo. He’s bad at his job and while he gets results, it does seem as though way more people die than reasonably allowed. And the movie is Christmas-adjacent. We’ll explain how.
We also listen to a voicemail and argue about the validity of Nicolas Cage. Enjoy!

BMFcast529 – Doctor Mordrid – The Eye of Clamato
Doctor Mordrid (1992) is Full Moon’s take on Marvel’s Doctor Strange. It even started life as a Doctor Strange movie until they lost the rights at some point. Jeffrey Combs stars as the titular doctor and doesn’t get much to do. In fact, not much happens at all in this very padded 74 minute effort.
