Today I'm talking about one of the strangest cult movies ever made—a film that asks a question nobody else thought to ask: What if your boyfriend died, or was perhaps going to die... and a mad scientist put his brain inside a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex?

Replying to a comment on one of my podcast episodes titled " The Myth of the Anti-Tax Republican." Someone said: "Dude, you don't really exude the aura of any financial or economic literacy." Is that a "savage burn" or just another vacuous right-wing attempt at a critique?
