"They Saved Hitler's Brain" (1968), considered one of the worst movies ever made, was frequently referenced in a running joke on the Simpsons.

It was referenced in a video game:

Hitler's head in a jar was a background gag on a few occasions:

Abraham Simpson, when he was the leader of the Fighting Hellfish, had a clear shot on Hitler, and said "now they'll never save your brain, Hitler!"

Hitler, it should be remembered, was the previous owner of Maggie's bear, Bobo, who he blamed in the bunker for his downfall:

1980s B-Movie staple Reb Brown...

Is the rare instance of a Scream King.

As demonstrated in this 10 minute compilation by YDGN. While the term Scream Queen tends to refer to cheese horror movie staples, the pipes were essential.

Does Reb scream for the same reasons? Not generally.

Does he scream fully, completely, passionately, and at every moderately plot-relevant opportunity? Yes.

That is all.

So I just watched The Howling for the first time and while I definitely liked it (great creature effects by the man Rob Bottin, a good sense of humour, some neat allegory here and there)... I can't help feel like I would've enjoyed it a lot more were it not for the first 20 minutes, not because the first 20 minutes were bad, but because they were better than the entire rest of the film.

Okay so hear me out; I knew basically fuck and all going into The Howling other than it had a serial killer werewolf, and the opening with that almost hypnotic montage of violent and gruesome news headlines or quotes being read out over static, the cinematography and design in the red light district and especially the presentation of Eddie, forcing Karen to watch THAT stuff in the sex shop, it had me fooled this was going to be some super dark and stylish allegory for the intersection of sex and violence, how power as a concept plays into both of those, the 'primal' aspect within humans and how little there can sometimes be between us and the animals all portrayed cleverly through a serial killer, werewolves and their diagnosis of 'lunacy' historically being a weak attempt for the civilised to try in vain to rationalise and find logic in murderers, to try and believe that such feral savagery could not still remain in a modern man, and like, it just sorta devolved into a B-movie from there.

And listen that's not a bad thing, Joe Dante lives for B-movies and I've been pretty vocal about how I'd take a dumb popcorn flick over something as 'cerebral' and 'smart' as we're seeing in a lot of horror movies that are ashamed to be horror movies today, and for as dumb as it is The Howling is still making some actual points, but man those first 20 minutes could be part pf a completely separate movie and I would fucking watch that movie.

P. S. If anyone is interested in a good werewolf story that explores a lot of deeper themes through that framing definitely read Alan Moore's Swamp Thing #40, 'The Curse', Swamp Thing himself plays a pretty minor role in that story so it's very easy to pick up and digest without any prior knowledge of the Saga.

Friend, your opinions on Barbarella and/or Tank Girl

I still need to watch both of them in full. I know, I'm a fraud... T_T

Between the two I'm more familiar with Tank Girl, mostly because I've read bits of the comic in passing (and love those anthro kangaroo 🦘). Personally I'd love to finally sit down and watch the film sometime soon, since the general concept does genuinely intrigue me!

Barbarella I'm a lot less familiar with, at least outside of the famous zero-gravity undressing scene. Watching a trailer for it though I must say it looks fucking great! Pure 60's sci fi camp if I've ever seen it! I'll have to put that one as a double feature with another 60's sci fi film I haven't seen yet, like The Day of the Triffids or The War of the Gargantuans...
