The Brain (1988)
Dr. Blake leidt een tv-programma genaamd 'Independent Thinkers', een soort Scientology-achtig zelfhulp-/religieprogramma. Maar hij laat zijn publiek niet onafhankelijker nadenken - met de hulp van een buitenaards organisme dat hij The Brain noemt, gebruikt hij hersenspoeling en mind control. Het enige dat tussen hen en de wereldheerschappij staat, is een briljante maar onrustige middelbare scholier met een voorliefde voor grappen...
