But this time, instead of Donovan, we meet Max Holt, a corrupt businessman who is forced to solve his own murder after being reincarnated as a brain in a jar. We also have the world's most break-inable house, the world's worst blackmailer, and a drunk cop who accidentally stumbled into the movie for just a second. Please rate, review, and tell your fiends.

We're returning to the world of Donovan's Brain this week, but now we've moved forward to the '50s. We've also got a younger, more relatable (but still quite misogynistic) mad scientist. Actually a somewhat less mad scientist, if we're honest. But the science is still sciency and the madness is still mad. Oh, and Nancy Reagan is there? Join us!

It's time to start talking about Donovan's Brain! But this first time, we're not gonna call it Donovan's Brain. Yes, there's a guy named Donovan.

Um... depends on your definition of "monster". But Erich von Stroheim is in it! Join us!Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And be sure to subscribe so you don't miss future installments.

This week is a solo episode with your favorite(?) mad scientist, and we are plumbing the depths of Tubi obscurities to look at a Frankensteinian, dystopian, noirish fable of jealousy and betrayal that has some interesting ideas and some really impressive dual casting, but that is just a little light on emotion and characterization.
