The creation of a sentient A.I. humanoid to fill the emotional needs of a childless parents (or in this case, parents of a child in a coma) seems more relevant than ever, so does Spielberg provide a benchmark or omen in one of the only Sci-Fi-Drama-Adventures without the robots taking over? Also, why have the Brains moved their review dates into the future? Join us in 2001 to find out.

A reckless, thrill-seeking federal cop whose partner is "getting too old for this 💩" is the focus of this 80's movie that somehow is NOT Lethal Weapon.

Join The Brains on the wrong side of the highway to find out who lives and who dies.

One Brain can't get enough of amnesiac movies! This time it's Geena Davis suffering from the world's longest brain fart, with Samuel Jackson as her detective sidekick. Spoiler alert: she's a government assassin waking from 8 years as a small-town schoolteacher, just in time to save us from a "dangerously" underfunded CIA... how can you not remember it? Plot too forgettable? Have no fear - The Brains have a refresher ready for you.

Eamonn Owens plays the charismatic only child of a troubled 60's family, courting disaster in his struggle with identity. His desperate search for connection and purpose is wryly funny but is this Neil Jordan dark comedy too bleak, even with a Sinead O'Connor cameo? Come take a wee nip of goofy, chaotic wisdom and judge which brains you find agreeable.

This is the movie that brought karate to every kid Bruce Lee missed. Audiences loved the teenage fish-out-of-water whose great mentor shows him it takes more than just going through the moves to break the mold. Just for kicks, tune in while the Brains wax poetic on whether Mr. Miyagi's still got his chops.

An amnesiac awakes from SLEEP to find something strange is at HAND where there's never RAIN and it's always dark. He finds his back against the WALL as reality warps, identities swap and mysteries unravel QUICK in this sci-fi flick that loosely inspired The Matrix, so why doesn't anybody remember it? BOOK your trip to Shell Beach... and Murdoch, we're coming to get you.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck kick off their careers with this Oscar-bait tale of an angry young genius who can't find his way in life. But what you really are left wondering is "can one dumbass line ruin a movie?" The Brains calculate and conclude: when life gives you apples, make cider.
