Welcome to Brain Melt! A foster home for outsider art and the movies that make us fall in love with film. The theme for episode two is movies deep into an established franchise that come out of nowhere and blow us away.

We watch Producer Pierre David's Scanner Cop II: The Showdown and visionary director John Hyams' Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. Listen as we dissect the wiggles, the scanpires, and JCVD in a sneaky surreliast masterpiece. We match each Brain Melt selection with a canonical arthouse favorite as well, and would love to hear if you agree or disagree with our choice. Excited for anyone who catches us early and can start to follow along!
