OP- The Nokia Is Not Ready To Die. Mack Hawthorne.

Introducing Hey U!, a new miniseries for BrettroCulture where a guest comes on for a combination guest profile and movie talk. In today's inaugural installment, the Bachelor of Science has welcomed the Sultan of Scriptophobic, Zack Long, to discuss not only Zack's past endeavors and filmic profile, but a pairing of mad science movies to boot, 1979's THE BROOD and 1935's MAD LOVE. There will be talk of wildly unethical medical malpractices, the infinite charms of Oliver Reed, the hosts' first Cronenbergs, and even a brief history of the mad science subgenre.

BrettroCulture welcomes a new guest into the filmic fray, Natalia Keogan (of PASTE magazine!).

But enough of that, let's get to the podcast and listen in on the fun!

The Bachelor of Science is joined by a special guest from across the pond, Logan Kenny, to partake in an epic discussion concerning the state of Scooby Doo, wrestling talent, budgeted filmmaking in the modern era, and classic genre movie blindspots. All this is wrapped up in a podcast ostensibly talking about the 2020 release Money Plane and the 2001 indie parody the Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. There will be lots of zany tangents mixed in, but we welcome all to the craziness within.
