The Psychotronic Man
S1 • E253 Sep 21, 2017 90m
A surreal journey into the trippy world of, uh, being a barber, it’s Psychotronic Man!
What does “psychotronic” mean, exactly? Well, we’re not sure, and neither is the movie. But it seems to be the result of being a barber, and drinking too much of your liquid barber products, which leads to weird dreams, which leads to telling people about your weird dreams. And then killing them with your mind, as if telling them about your dream wasn’t bad enough. Also, to be truly psychotronic, it’s important that all this take place in a Chicago suburb rich with some of the thickest accents you’ve ever heard. Make sense yet? No, no it doesn’t.
Floating cars, shampoo drinking, endless stretches of silent sweaty driving, they’re all part of the eerie psychotronic-ness that have made this movie a cult favorite. Strap in for a buzz cut of the mind, and join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Psychotronic Man!
