Wanna play? I dare you.
Technology Terror month begins with 1994's BRAINSCAN.
When a horror-obsessed teen plays a mysterious game, he finds himself drawn into a twisted journey where the boundaries between virtual thrills and genuine terror dissolve. As the game’s cunning host, The Trickster, pushes him toward terrifying choices, he must unravel the truth behind the game’s grip before it consumes him completely. Will The Boys find themselves tricked or treated? Find out here!
Also this week: '90s teen girl-lookin' windows, The Langella Jiggler, and A.I. Bits.
All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!
"Real, unreal, what's the difference? So long as you don't get caught."

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
