God made him simple. Science made him a god.
Our Crow Sister Amanda Waltz returns as Technology Terror month concludes with 1992's THE LAWNMOWER MAN.
Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Pierce Brosnan) pushes the boundaries of science with his experiments in virtual reality and cognitive enhancement, seeking to unlock untapped human potential. But as his test subject, Jobe Smith (Jeff Fahey), rapidly evolves beyond expectations, the consequences spiral into a dangerous struggle for control, morality, and the future of intelligence itself. Will our heroes make it to the next level? Find out here!
Also this week: Rain sticks, punk spiderweb butthole tattoos, and Lance tells us the major differences between the director's and theatrical cuts.
All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!
"This universe is mine. I am GOD here!"

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.
