Summary

For the last episode in our Sci-Fi December series it's a five hour journey into Douglas Trumbull's Brainstorm (1983) which stars Christopher Walken as scientist Michael Brace who has helped in the discovery of a new technology that records the sensations of a person and allows for playback directly into another person's brain.

Interviews include Trumbull, actress Louise Fletcher, screenwriters Bruce Joel Rubin, Philip Messina, Robert Stitzel, and author Joseph Maddrey.

Co-hosts Samm Deighan and David Kittredge join Mike to discuss the film, the tragedy that overshadowed it, and its spiritual sequel, Strange Days (1995).
