YEAH, PUSH IT! PUSH IT REAL GOOD! WITH YOUR MIND, THOUGH, NOT YOUR HANDS.
It’s mind over matter as Gabe and returning guest Jim Laczkowski take a look at more movies about the potential power of the human brain. This time, we’re focusing on something a little less esoteric than Existential State Manipulation: telekinesis. But we’re not covering the big names – no Carrie, no superhero movies, no Star Wars, not even Zapped. Instead, we’re talking about Jack Gold’s The Medusa Touch (1978), Roland Emmerich’s Making Contact (aka: Joey, 1985), Pierre David’s Scanner Cop (1994), and Yeon Sang-ho’s Psychokinesis (Korean: Yeom-lyeok, 2018). Prepare to be in awe of how badly we butcher Korean names! 00:00 – Intro
