Mystery Science Theater 3000: THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE Rewatch

February 11, 2021 12:56 AM - Season 5, Episode 13

Rewatch! A brilliant scientist is thought of as "mad," and only because he saves his girlfriend's severed head when she is killed in a car crash, then keeps it alive by setting it in Neck Juice (TM), allowing her to befriend the terrible monster he keeps in his basement while he goes out trying to murder women to provide her with a donor body. But really, is that "mad?" Okay. Yeah, on further reflection I guess it is. Oh, and he has an assistant with his own weird issues. This is Mike Nelson's first episode as host of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Previously.

I don't think this is a terrible movie, exactly. You may disagree.

It was considered to be quite the shocker at the time of its release.
