The Film With Three Brains

Harrison Ford plays an archeologist with a finely honed penchant for punching Nazis while in pursuit of the face-melting Ark of the Covenant in this globe-trotting adventure from Lucas and Spielberg - a 1980’s dream duo. While many think it is romcom about bad dates and a dog named Indiana, the Brains will convince you otherwise.  You can watch this, and many more episodes in full video on our You...

What better way to win back an old flame than to be miniaturized and injected into the body of a random guy that will win her over at your command, while escaping ruthless competitors, a robot-handed hitman, the Feds, and run-on sentences? The makers of Innerspace explored that premise inside Martin Short’s nervous body. Avoid shrinkage with The Brains! You can also watch this and many more episod...

An FBI trainee matches wits with an imprisoned psychotic psychiatrist to help find a serial killer—a simple story that has influenced every psychological crime thriller in its wake.

Keanu stars as a barely undercover "F.B.I. AGENT!!" turned newbie surfer searching for a band of beach bum bank robbers. Swayze, the big kahuna, takes him under wing to teach him surfing as a way of life…or death. Is it a 90’s mushburger or a gnarly bros turned foes action flick?

This under-the-mainstream radar reimagining of The Wizard of Oz features Dorothy as a thirty-something inner city schoolteacher. Diana Ross stars, Richard Pryor cameos, but fans are more interested in Michael Jackson as The Scarecrow just before he became the King of Pop. Can this much star power deliver the magic of the original version? Click your heels three times for the Brains' answer! Watch...

Superman sets aside his cape to prove his acting powers for this adaptation of a play about plays and murder. With an early death, numerous reversals, and enough weapons to make Chekhov choke, Sidney Lumet played it out differently than playwright Levin. Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine play cat and mouse in Deathtrap, while the Brains bust out their best yet.

Well before the box office dominance (or even existence) of the MCU, Wesley Snipes was kicking vampire ass as Marvel’s Blade.  With apologies to Howard the Duck, this stylish flick was the first successful comic book movie not called Batman or Superman, and it paved the way for The Matrix, Underworld, and every other black leather and sunglass-clad action film to follow. Join the Brains as we ice...

Two teenage dweebs create a beautiful woman with their computer, a la the Bride of Frankenstein. This screwy sci-fi departure for John Hughes tells teenagers it’s okay to be yourself and it’s even better to possess a magic-wielding Kelly LeBrock. Forget all that—the Brains just love Bill Paxton and you should too, butt wad. You can also watch this, and many other episodes in full HD video on our Y...

Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler and Molly Shannon? Sounds like it could be a current comedy, yet this “campy” farce was forged 25 years ago! This heap of schtick has become a cult classic, but for whose cult?  Link hands with the Brains around the campfire as we summon the ghost of goofy filmmaking.   You can also watch this, any lots of other episodes in full video on our YouTube channel:...

Does an ‘80’s comedy film that ridicules Hollywood ethnic stereotypes still hold true? Or does it even matter as long as the film is funny?  Or are stereotypes not a laughing matter in any case anymore? The Brains overanalyze and underdeliver as per usual.

David Fincher's follow-up to Se7en thinks outside the box with a head in it.  Michael Douglas receives a mysterious gift from his brother (Sean Penn) that is either an elaborate game or just sophisticated phishing.  Is this psychological escapade an attempt to mentally break someone to the point of suicide, or what it takes to make someone want to live their fullest life? Can it be both? Roll the...

Travolta and Sam Jackson star as henchmen who shoot the breeze (and the occasional person) while running the crime boss's errands, in this eminently quotable black comedy. We forego unraveling the twisted timeline in favor of this core question:  should Tarantino ever act in his own movies beyond a brief cameo??  Check out the big brains on . . . The Brains? You can also watch this, and many more...

Jim Jarmusch gained accolades for showing the studio world that a movie can be just as slow, aimless, and infused with deadpan humor as real life—a notion embraced by the likes of Seinfeld, Wes Anderson—and that sometimes foible and folly reveal as much about the human condition as flashy narrative thread. Listen to how the Brains see everything in black and white--they've 'put a spell on you!'  ...

Tim Burton siphoned the sentiment of his oddball childhood into the fairytale of Edward Scissorhands: a teenage creation with scissors for hands who struggles to fit into a suburban world that is both amazed and frightened by him. The star power of Depp and Winona Ryder could fuel any 90’s film, but aside from the hairdos and topiaries, does Ed still make the cut? The Brains know!   You can watch...

Michael Caine is a debonair con man who takes a wager with a gauche scam artist (Steve Martin) about who is the best swindler, loser leaves town.  Does an audience love being conned or in on the con? Or do we just love being amused?

You know it’s a bad day when your spaceship crash lands on a planet the very same day a 22-year swarm of alien, flesh-eating locusts breaks free from the hive and the only person you can turn to is a murderous convict…unless that criminal is Vin Diesel! He was furious before fast and way too cool for some loser extraterrestrials. You're not afraid of the dark, are you? You can also watch this and...

More aptly titled “Weekend at the English Professor's," this deadpan comedy is also a quirky drama satirizing the literary sphere within academia. It's held together by the star power of Michael Douglas, Frances McDormand, Tobey Maguire, and Robert Downey, Junior, but . . . what is it? Plot line defiance and genre pigeonhole-dodging give the Brains food for thought. Join the feast. You can watch t...

Paul Newman was more than just a salad dressing, at one point he was a hockey player-coach for a rowdy Midwest minor league team about to go skates up. With a Disney plot build up and more F-words than Webster’s, did this sports dramedy have a fighting chance?  It’s the Brain’s goal to find out!

This is the Karate Kid of BMX bikes, except no one remembers what in the world a BMX bike is.  When a stuntman directs a bicycle movie how could the results be anything but radical? Nail that Tailwhip, finish the Grind, step off the footpegs, and Bunny Hop with the Brains for this rad ep, don’t over-rotate.  You can also watch our handsome mugs yacking about in this episode and many more in full v...

Clint Eastwood stars in and directs his second Western, adapted from a book on the many factions and foibles of a nation ending its bloody civil war. Now synonymous with the genre, Eastwood built his career sneering through gritty films like this and reaping box office rewards. Does it still move the modern viewer? Gone to Texas are the Brains, so follow along little doggies to find out if you're...

Come back to 1982 when high school was totally awesome and the only thing people bothered "liking" was the restaurant where you worked. Fast Times set the stage for a slew of 80's teen films and helped define the Gen X mindset. Is it still gnarly? Or just explains why your dad scalps tickets? Bell has rung, Brains in session.
