Darlings, "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" Took The Cake On "Svengoolie!" Or Should I Say "Sventoonie?????????????"

 

                                                                                

                               Something is transitioning on the "Svengoolie" show.  Rich Koz, Svengoolie himself, is advertising this talent search that people can audition for called "Spawn Of Svengoolie."  It makes me think of The Search For Scarlett O'Hara David O. Selznick instituted, when casting "Gone With The Wind."  Does that mean Koz is thinking of passing on the torch?  The only way that would be acceptable to me, darlings, would be if the whole show were turned over to Sventoonie!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  Because, during last Saturday's broadcast, Sventoonie outdid Svengoolie.  As previously mentioned by yours truly, the feature attraction, 1958's "It! The Terror From Beyond Space," is worth only one viewing.  But when "Sventoonie" came on, the fun really began.

                                      Because the film "Sventoonie" tried to deconstruct was 1962's "The Brain That Wouldn't Die," wherein Virginia Leith walks off with the film by playing a talking head, embedded on a lasagna pan, delivering the best one-liners in the movie.  Let's get the following over with fast--Yes, she gives good head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                          You see, her boyfriend, a scientist, gets into a car accident with her. He survives, but not only is she killed, but her head is decapitated!  So, he takes the head back to the lab, places her on that pan, hooks her up to chemicals and tubes, and before you know it, she is talking away!!!!!!!!!!!!  She should have worked for the telephone company!  His mission, of course, is to find a new body for her head, so he can restore his fiancé in full.  This is where the film turns David Lynch-ish, having him go to bohemian artists' studios, and underground bars, where he can find especially nubile young women as a potential body.  Bosoms are definitely a priority in this film.

                                            Meanwhile, for no explanation, there is a deformed monster hiding in the lab closet, who, at the end, breaks out, destroys everything, and the head/brain, plus everyone else, die.  But not before the head has the last word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                This was the highlight of the entire evening.  So, I really think Koz should think about turning the show over to Sventoonie.

                                                     You know who would have just loved "The Brain That Wouldn't Die?"  The Queen Of Hearts, from "Alice In Wonderland."
