Brain Melt
Hosted by Someone's Favorite Productions · EN
Join us on a journey through the fringes of celluloid society. The dark corners drowned out in a cacophony of naysayers and ironic laughter. Hidden in these forgotten realms are a group of cinematic pariah that deserve a better fate. They deserve to be salvaged from the pit of lazy punchlines and viewed as joyous expressions of artistic integrity and passion.
We here at Brain Melt HQ will guide you, potentially kicking and screaming, into the hypnagogic void as we explore the beauty in the outsider artistry of movie madness. We hope you enjoy the ride!
