Show Notes
Edgar and Courtnee plug into the twisted cyber-nightmare of Brainscan (1994), where a creepy CD-ROM game turns murderously real. They break down Edward Furlong’s emo teen angst, the eerie VR horror aesthetic, and the bizarre, scene-stealing Trickster—part Freddy Krueger, part grunge-rock fever dream. As they unravel the film’s warped reality, they debate whether Brainscan was ahead of its time or just a gloriously weird relic of ‘90s techno-horror gone off the rails.
