The ultmate shocker.
Technology Terror month continues with 1988's PULSE.
While visiting his father in Los Angeles, David (Joey Lawrence) stays home alone and notices strange disturbances in the electrical appliances, later learning from an old man that a deadly, intelligent pulse is running through the grid. As the pulse tightens its grip on the neighborhood, David races to warn his father and stepmother—unaware that the real nightmare is only just beginning. Will The Boys be shocked? Find out here!
Also this week: The "Mushroom Head Brothers", Ben's "chicken wing jeans", and there is no way you can go through life just eating pie.
All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!
"I heard a man on TV one time say that 'paranoia' is just another word for 'heightened awareness."

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.
