Everybody remembers their first mad scientist, right? Maybe Herbert West was yours back in '85! On today's episode, after we dust off the Negronomicon (14:34) we're covering the aforementioned "Mad Scientist" trope in all its white-lab-coat-glory via Re-Animator (1985). Get ready for a humorously experimental discussion (37:11) of science, morality, this film's influence, one-liners, and Mace the security guard.
