Brain Damage/Forbidden World

  • Summary

  • In this week’s episode, we're diving into the world of 80s sci-fi horror with a double feature that’s as trippy as it is terrifying! First up, Brain Damage (1988) — Frank Henenlotter's cult classic that’s equal parts dark comedy and grotesque body horror. We’ll dissect how the film uses horror to explore addiction and the dangers of desire, all while following the bizarre journey of Brian and his parasitic friend, Aylmer, as they paint the town blue.

    Then, we’re blasting off to deep space for Forbidden World (1982), Roger Corman's sci-fi splatter-fest. This one has all the hallmarks of an 80s B-movie: slimy aliens, bioengineering gone wrong, and a scrappy space crew fighting to stay alive. We’ll break down the low-budget effects, cheesy dialogue, and the surprisingly effective horror elements that make Forbidden World an unforgettable gem in the sci-fi horror genre.

    So grab your headphones and get ready for a wild ride through addiction, aliens, and everything weird in between!
