Are you ready for another Lost VHS Classic, kids? Well you’re in luck, because today we’re gonna have a go at the 1982 Steve Martin/Carl Reiner comedy, The Man With Two Brains! What is The Man With Two Brains, you ask? Well, we’ve seen it and we still aren’t entirely sure. On the surface it is a send-up of 50’s B-movie horror/suspense tropes about a mad scientist, a gold-digging femme fatale, and a brain-swap machine. If you have no idea what any of that means, it’s cool. Just know this is another wacky romp from the team that brought you The Jerk! It’s Kathleen Turner’s follow up to her breakout role in Body Heat! It’s Merv Griffin as… Merv Griffin! And it’s 100% niche cinema, which is why you should listen! Into the mud, scum queen!

Episode 254 - The Man With Two Brains

Did you know Chloe Grace Moretz also makes TV shows? Are nine episodes on a streaming service considered TV shows?

The Film School Janitors watched THE PERIPHERAL, a sci-fi show so ahead of its time it takes place ahead of this time, and you'll need to take notes on new words and phrases used in the show. What else should you expect from William Gibson, creator of the term "cyberspace"? A podcast review such as this?

Amazon Prime's The Peripheral (Season 1) Review

This week, we’ll be continuing our First Impressions season with a discussion of the futuristic drama from the creators of HBO’s Westworld, The Peripheral! The Peripheral is a sci-fi drama set roughly 10 years in the future, where a young woman is unknowingly recruited as a mercenary by a sinister corporation who’s using talented VR players to commit crimes 70 years in the future. The first season of The Peripheral has had amazing critical acclaim, and the series has been renewed for a second season, but is it worth it? Is The Peripheral worth watching?

The Peripheral

137: The Peripheral

Here’s a little story about a trio of janitors. 
Might have heard they worked at a well-known film school.
They picked up a few things other than trash. 
They might hate your movie, or if drunk think it’s cool.
Every now and then they get together for a lunch break. 
Trash talk some movie, or TV, or streaming.
Rodney and Jason and Sean – they all clean halls. 
If you listen close you can hear kids screaming: Film School Janitors!

At your local top-tier film-and-TV school, these three lurk the halls… sweeping… scrubbing…mopping…

What you drop, they pick up.  But that’s not all they’re picking up.

You see, after twenty years of cleaning up after film students, they’ve learned something – most movies are garbage.

So whenever their lunch breaks align, they catch up on the latest Hollywood has to offer.

In between taking out the trash, they’re talking trash.

Rodney – Sean – Jason… They are The Film School Janitors
