WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O-Mark, pondering punk oddities, b grade movies, and trashy treasures.

In this episode, Adam and Mark talk about a low budget exploitation film from 1988 about a parasitic alien worm that injects it’s hosts with addictive hallucinatory blue juice and feeds on human brains, but has a deeper philosophical meaning - It’s the classic from Frank Henenlotter (creator and director of Basketcase) BRAIN DAMAGE.

One night, Brian (Rick Hearst) comes in contact with a goofy, slimy, blue, snakelike monster called Aylmer who secretes a mysterious blue fluid from a tentacle that protrudes out of his mouth. Aylmer uses the tentacle to put blue fluid into Brian’s brain which causes extreme euphoria and psychedelic visions.Seems like a pretty good deal for Brian until it is revealed that to continue to get the highly addictive blue stuff, Alymer needs to eat brains, human brains.

THERE IS SO MUCH RIDICULOUS STUFF IN THIS FILM THAT IT’S HARD TO DISCUSS IT WITHOUT SPOILING SOME OF THE BEST PARTS. but If you’re looking for a classic 80’s exploitation horror flick, that is actually deeper than it first appears, then look no further than Brain Damage, now streaming for free on Tubi.
