Hey brother I’m a little stoned I don’t know if you just posted this video if it’s really old but if you’re able and allowed with your work to do edibles and Really BodyHI baked during Covid it helps a lot with the nausea it helps a lot with wanting to eat food and will help you sleep so Cove it doesn’t affect you as badly
@@allster0crowly Gingerdead man was hilarious! Remember Jack Frost? Not the family one the horror one about the killer who could possess ice and water?
@@AmericaTheSimpleMinded there were /just a sequel and a planned third film, I think he was just as bad as chucky about staying dead, but never got the same level of a following
So a few little trivia tidbits The basket case cameo was in fact the same actor from the film because Basket Case was made by the same guy previously. The "oral" scene was actually somewhat awkward. The entire crew walked off set and refused to work on it. Your hunch about the gurgling intestines sound was correct. Someone on the production team did have a bad reaction whenever he drank coffee, prompting the director to send him into a sound booth and record his stomach gurgling. All in all, great video, weird film, 10/10
6:51 There are aliens that are nice to look at, aliens that are ugly, aliens that are straight up weird or confusing... And of them all I believe this one needs a new category all its own, because I'd rather listen to Cthulhu read Vogon poetry than lay eyes on this creature.
This Alien resembles a massive phalus if you ask me. So in my view this movie is all about the sexually frustrated and pornography obsessed director. It's an analogy.
I managed to rent this on VHS back in the day, and could never quite explain it to anyone, and no one I know ever saw it, and eventually I became convinced I hallucinated the whole thing. Thank you for confirming this exists.
I know the feeling. I once watched a movie about a serial killing cop except his victims get raised as zombies due to a voodoo ceremony and in the end they kill him (and maybe he comes back as a zombie?) and the zombie ladies become cops. No one else has ever recognized it and I cannot find the title online.
Let's not forget a pesky little detail: Not only did someone have to make it, someone else had to *approve* of it, and multiple people had to work *with* it to make it look "good".
The movie is one of my guilty pleasures. I love how smug and well spoken the creature is. How it toys with everyone and especially taunts the MC for his addiction even as it sit's on top of the corpse of it's latest victims.
My personal hunch for this movie is that the original idea was that Elmor in his "weaker" state had to rely purely on acting like a drug dealer to get what he wants. But as he got stronger he integrated with his host more and more, effectively growing. Hence why he does that thing he is more or less inside of his host and kills his girlfriend. But the directors or whatever realized "oh shit. This cost money" and managed to pump that one scene to completion before they could get anymore done. So he sort of just a ketamine dealing worm throughout the entire thing. It would make sense because in the girlfriend scene he seems to be in some level of control of his host a little bit. Forcing his mouth open, making him loo kat her and all that. Which if he wasn't in control the host would be showing more resistance since he seems to be trying to avoid her for her own protection to an extent. It's like...the only scene that seems to be done in cgi or whatever while the rest of the worm scenes is just this puppet dong jumping at people. I can only assume the ending made more sense too for what they originally planned. Like the implication that worm was slowly changing morphology of the brain a bit into something maybe a bit more...supernatural? Hence the constant the constant use of high levels of electric in the brain scene. But you know...they had to make dod with that they had so they just left that in as a cool looking scene or some sort of "drug blew his mind gag" or something.
I hope your wife feels better soon, and I'd like to commend whoever managed to get you to cover this cause boy is it a ride to just hear your summary of this mess.
Hey, I just fell in love with this movie after watching it last month. Seeing you release a video on brain damage be making my knees weak. Thanks papa Roanoke!
this movie is definitely top tier and blows all those "classics" outta the water now excuse me while I watch this movie in a musky basement with my 5 gallon bucket of glue to eat in order to watch this without developing necrosis in my brain box
Okay the inspiration for that Brains episode of, The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy finally makes sense. I always thought it was, Little Shop of Horrors...
@@BubbyoftheMountain it was sooo catchy! It was creepy, it scared my little brother too but that song was a true earworm... Or brainworm? Haha I still have the song downloaded haha. Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy was a brilliant show over all, props if you remember Grim and Evil too. The song if you're curious is Brains - Voltaire
There’s an interesting parasite that lives in the spinal column in a later season episode of the X-Files that you might like to do a video on. It’s a weird body horror episode in season eight called “Roadrunners”, written by the guy who made Breaking Bad. This creature reminded me of that episode, for some reason.
I watched this movie, years back, because I was doing large amounts of MDMA at the time. Coincidence? Only Ailmer knows for sure. Glad you reviewed it; a nostalgia trip, to be sure...
There is a character in the "Wild Card" book series that does this same thing. In Wild Cards humans can become twisted versions of people and sometimes these "jokers" have special abilities. This particular one, called Ti Malace (first and appears 1988) in had the ability to inject directly a drug to the pleasure center of the brain with a "kiss" on the back of the neck. Effectively creating a powerful dependency in the victim who would do anything no matter how vile to receive a kiss from Malace.
Oh sweet malberry Jesus I never would of imagined you doing a video on brain damage, like what next the giant bug from Blue Monkey, the little gremlins from Critters? The actual Gremlins!? Cause I'd watch that either way *cause I'm subbed to you for a reason amigo*
This is your brain. And this is your brain on Aylmer! Great video mate. Another weird one I saw was Blue Monkey 1987. This movie is so weird it needs an explanation!
I've looked for this childhood fever dream sporadically over the years and here 32 years later, this blockbuster happenstance is being discussed. Thank you
This is one of my favorite movies just because of how weird it is. Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one to say this but the person who made this also made Basket Case hence the cameo.
i've been watching so many of your videos at work and it's really been helping me survive my shifts. i've even been sharing some cool facts and whatnot from your videos with my friends - they seem to appreciate it, too! thanks for your videos!
I think I can feel good about knowing these things don't exist because they would never evolve naturally. If they could have evolved, they already would have...
THIS! Ive been watching all his videos and shocked he hasn't covered the various Xenomorphs. I tried looking for any videos covering it but hadn't found any myself.
I find your explanations for poorly thought out B movies to be the most entertaining and interesting. And of course the plot commentary is at its best there too. Keep up the great work Roanoke. Any chance you'll cover the infected from dark sector? We all know you like a good dingy zombie shooter.
This Chanel has been the best find. I love it! I can only imagine how it feels torturous to watch but I love how you break down all the science!!! Regardless of what you post I always learn something! Haha 😂 haven’t learned this much from a show since magic school bus!!!
Oh well that explains why I was depressed for so long after heavy drug use and even a decade later still feel like shit most of the time. Weew lad not even once they weren’t kidding.
I have some experience with withdrawal and the best advice is exactly what you said, just keep going, It gets better eventually. Giving in to the talking turd monster just resets the clock on the inevitable.
Lol I’ve been watching all your videos while I work and it’s sad to say I’ve watched almost all your videos so I’m super exited when you upload. Keep doing what you do man.
I love this movie. Yeah, it’s absolutely ridiculous, but it’s also self aware. The acting is actually pretty good, for a B movie, and the humor does a job mitigating the absence of any suspension of disbelief.
Haven't seen this one - I will though, looks great - but my guy, there's some *heavy* competition for the title of most heavy-handed anti-drug 80s movie, I assure you. That era's a treasure trove of the utterly ridiculous.
This was such a terribly funny movie when I was little. This along with Bloodsucking Freaks and the first Hellraiser always just made me laugh. And yet E.T. gave me nightmares for years! It was that damn neck. And the music video for Thriller scared the life outta me 😂 The 80's was such a strange era to grow up in. The clothes were the worst!
You really wanna know why I watched this? Not only is it a hilariously bad movie but you also do a fantastic job explaining the movie and the science. Keep up the good work. New resident evil zombies????
Roanoke, Roanoke, ROANOKE! Lol hey man I’m such a huge fan, love your deep dive of everything with a scientific lens and humor. I was wondering if you’d be interested in doing the same approach towards mythological and biblical creatures? I think that can be such an interesting take and there’s so much out there from so many different cultures!
@Roanoke Gaming I was wondering if the monsters from the game Evolve would be of interest for you to cover since it’s recently gotten some new attention and I think the monsters would be a nice little thing to talk about
Great video! I know its a couple months old now, but i do want to mention that the MDMA study on primates you mentioned got retracted because the researchers were unknowing giving them meth instead of mdma, its a very interesting story
How the hell did they accidentally give the primates meth? Meth and Molly are very different drugs from my understanding, that have *very* different results when taken. I really wanna know just how it happened, frankly.
I hope you'll cover the Manhattan Virus from *Crysis 2* soon! It's a fascinating bit of alien bioengineering! Any additional info outside of the game to provide additional context can be found on the Crysis Fandom Wiki!
Still binge watching RG, and wow I think I lost brain cells watching the first half of this video but thankfully the second half helped me gain them back 😂
Hallucinogens do not cause depression as an after effect. I accidentally dosed myself with 75 hits of lsd while selling acid in college. The days after were some of the most positive changes i made in my life around that time. I finally grew the balls to break off with my college gf that would date me for months, then cheat and break up....then go back out....for 5 yrs. I don't connect romantically with many ladies....more aptly...most don't connect with me. So i tend to fall hard in fast with anyone that gives me a lil positive feedback and isnt l opposed to the idea.
@@RoanokeGaming ive been triping since i was 9 and I'm 41.....i have thousands of stories....you can trust your shoddy research or you can research some one who has 1st hand experience and over 30 yrs of it. You can pretend you know what you're talking about but you are speaking from pure ignorance..... meaning you are ignoring evidence being provided to you. You want confirmation from my shrinks, my Dr....i will authorize whatever is needed. Or... alternatively....why has the VA recently supported the use of psychedelics for vets with severe depression, suicidal ideation, and PTSD?....or whu has Oregon legalized mushrooms for medical use....to treat drug resistant anxiety and depression and severe PTSD with suicidal ideation. Connecticut passed a law last term that created funding for psychedelic treatment centers that will be using mushrooms, MDMA, and naturally sourced Mescaline (from cactus) Heres one of the more recent articles showing why drs have been changing there minds more and more for the last few yrs.

@@RoanokeGaming in some more recent studies psychedelics have been shown to decrease suicidal impulses by upwards of 700% and have proven to be effective all ike this after a single use....this is why eve NYS made ketamine inhalers legal because even clinicians have admitted that the clinical data shows, even one experience is many times more effective than antidepressant drugs or years of therapy. Seriously, dont try to prove yourself right....the internet doesn't want you to have new thoughts.....it wants us to stay republican, or conservative, or liberal.... because Buddha forbid we step across the aisle and extend some humanity and compassion to our fellow humans.
Yo Roanoke, been binging your vids a lot lately and wondered if by some chance youd ever be willing to try and scientifically explain Gremlins from the classic christmas film? If i have to wait til Christmas for it i definitely will lmao! Keep up the good content, I'll be watching!
@13:45 as a new yorker, can confirm. The cops' motto for the subway is "if you see something , say something" but for the everyday New Yorker the motto is "if you see something, mind ya business"
Brains, brains, it's okay! It doesn't matter if it isn't grey And if at first they think it's strange They won't think twice if they don't have a brain!
I love Frank Henenlotter films and this one is my favorite. It’s weird and fun and self-aware but then it takes a dark turn. I showed this film and Frankenhooker to my friends and they enjoyed them. That whole history of Aylmer speech that the old man gives is ripped from The Maltese Falcon which makes it even funnier.
Bro, I also remembered this movie like a fever dream. But it was so vivid that I knew it had to exist. After almost twenty-five years, I've finally found it.
Actually the way the room change is wonderfully done, I've a cronical disease and have to take very heavy drugs for the pain and sometimes shit like that happens. Hallucination, uncontrollable laughter, I literally fall on the floor and... absurde behavior. And I take prescribed medications. I don't even want to think about the effects of various illegal drugs. Plus the director based the film on his own experience with addiction. Greetings from Italy :)

The "oral" scene was actually somewhat awkward. The entire crew walked off set and refused to work on it.
Your hunch about the gurgling intestines sound was correct. Someone on the production team did have a bad reaction whenever he drank coffee, prompting the director to send him into a sound booth and record his stomach gurgling.
All in all, great video, weird film, 10/10

The unsolvable question, did the Vogon poetry or Cthulhu's voice killed?
Well played hitchhiker
Don't panic
This Alien resembles a massive phalus if you ask me. So in my view this movie is all about the sexually frustrated and pornography obsessed director. It's an analogy.

thanks man! we are better now! testing negative up in here haha
I managed to rent this on VHS back in the day, and could never quite explain it to anyone, and no one I know ever saw it, and eventually I became convinced I hallucinated the whole thing. Thank you for confirming this exists.
If I had watched this movie once 15-20 years ago and then never seen it again I would also think it was some kind of fever dream.
I know the feeling. I once watched a movie about a serial killing cop except his victims get raised as zombies due to a voodoo ceremony and in the end they kill him (and maybe he comes back as a zombie?) and the zombie ladies become cops.

@@amberkat8147 Unfortunately, I can't help you either.
this video doesn't exist, you're hallucinating right now
Let's not forget a pesky little detail:
Not only did someone have to make it, someone else had to *approve* of it, and multiple people had to work *with* it to make it look "good".
I've watched so much Roanoke that I've begun to retain the science. Maybe I'll try for a degree in a couple years lol. Keep up the great work!
Goooood, GOOOOOOOOOOD
@@RoanokeGaming Carefull, sounding like emperor Palpatin there.
@@Franky_Sthein Good. Gooood. Let the science flow through you. Your knowledge of micro biology has made you stronger.

I agree. I’d love to revamp Aylmer’s design to match his demeanor and even make the hallucination scenes trippier.
@@Scarecrow_Crane Yeah, the original design does kind of look like a soggy turd. It's definitely got that 80's-90's low budget feel.

True dis Roanokenfrickin rocks! Bio without Roe d be Soo boring.
This universe hasn't enough illicit substances to make me come up with something like that, it's a trip and a half
My personal hunch for this movie is that the original idea was that Elmor in his "weaker" state had to rely purely on acting like a drug dealer to get what he wants. But as he got stronger he integrated with his host more and more, effectively growing. Hence why he does that thing he is more or less inside of his host and kills his girlfriend.
But the directors or whatever realized "oh shit. This cost money" and managed to pump that one scene to completion before they could get anymore done. So he sort of just a ketamine dealing worm throughout the entire thing. It would make sense because in the girlfriend scene he seems to be in some level of control of his host a little bit. Forcing his mouth open, making him loo kat her and all that. Which if he wasn't in control the host would be showing more resistance since he seems to be trying to avoid her for her own protection to an extent. It's like...the only scene that seems to be done in cgi or whatever while the rest of the worm scenes is just this puppet dong jumping at people.
I can only assume the ending made more sense too for what they originally planned. Like the implication that worm was slowly changing morphology of the brain a bit into something maybe a bit more...supernatural? Hence the constant the constant use of high levels of electric in the brain scene. But you know...they had to make dod with that they had so they just left that in as a cool looking scene or some sort of "drug blew his mind gag" or something.

This is probably the live action movie of "the darkness". The mobster that died and tentacle demons become attached to him and brought him back.
This is your brain. And this is your brain on Aylmer!
Great video mate. Another weird one I saw was Blue Monkey 1987. This movie is so weird it needs an explanation!

As for the basket case cameo, it's a callback to the director's earlier work.
Where was this guy during my college biology classes. Learned more in 3 videos than I did in 2 years of college.
As someone who was addicted to drugs at that time I saw it, I thought it was terrifying.
I've looked for this childhood fever dream sporadically over the years and here 32 years later, this blockbuster happenstance is being discussed. Thank you
I remember seeing this movie on the shelf at the video rental store all the time as a kid and my mom would never let me get it. I can see why now LOL
This is one of my favorite movies just because of how weird it is. Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one to say this but the person who made this also made Basket Case hence the cameo.
Have you ever just look at a movie and think 'yep, this came from the XX's', even though you've never seen it before?
That was me with this movie.
I cannot believe this is actually a movie. Genuinely impressed

Its a sign XD
The junk guard is like "Oh boy I finally get to kill someone!"
I’m so happy your covering this fever dream of a movie.

I hope you'll cover the Manhattan Virus from *Crysis 2* soon! It's a fascinating bit of alien bioengineering! Any additional info outside of the game to provide additional context can be found on the Crysis Fandom Wiki!
It's awesome you mentioned the Clown Motel. It was awesome when we saw it
Still binge watching RG, and wow I think I lost brain cells watching the first half of this video but thankfully the second half helped me gain them back 😂
Hallucinogens do not cause depression as an after effect. I accidentally dosed myself with 75 hits of lsd while selling acid in college. The days after were some of the most positive changes i made in my life around that time. I finally grew the balls to break off with my college gf that would date me for months, then cheat and break up....then go back out....for 5 yrs. I don't connect romantically with many ladies....more aptly...most don't connect with me. So i tend to fall hard in fast with anyone that gives me a lil positive feedback and isnt l opposed to the idea.
One anecdotal story doesn't detail actual clinical studies my man
@@RoanokeGaming ive been triping since i was 9 and I'm 41.....i have thousands of stories....you can trust your shoddy research or you can research some one who has 1st hand experience and over 30 yrs of it. You can pretend you know what you're talking about but you are speaking from pure ignorance..... meaning you are ignoring evidence being provided to you. You want confirmation from my shrinks, my Dr....i will authorize whatever is needed.
Or... alternatively....why has the VA recently supported the use of psychedelics for vets with severe depression, suicidal ideation, and PTSD?....or whu has Oregon legalized mushrooms for medical use....to treat drug resistant anxiety and depression and severe PTSD with suicidal ideation.
Connecticut passed a law last term that created funding for psychedelic treatment centers that will be using mushrooms, MDMA, and naturally sourced Mescaline (from cactus)
Heres one of the more recent articles showing why drs have been changing there minds more and more for the last few yrs.
"'Magic Mushrooms' for Therapy? Vets Help Sway Conservatives" www.military.com/daily-news/2022/04/17/magic-mushrooms-therapy-vets-help-sway-conservatives.html/amp
@@RoanokeGaming in some more recent studies psychedelics have been shown to decrease suicidal impulses by upwards of 700% and have proven to be effective all ike this after a single use....this is why eve NYS made ketamine inhalers legal because even clinicians have admitted that the clinical data shows, even one experience is many times more effective than antidepressant drugs or years of therapy. Seriously, dont try to prove yourself right....the internet doesn't want you to have new thoughts.....it wants us to stay republican, or conservative, or liberal.... because Buddha forbid we step across the aisle and extend some humanity and compassion to our fellow humans.
Yo Roanoke, been binging your vids a lot lately and wondered if by some chance youd ever be willing to try and scientifically explain Gremlins from the classic christmas film? If i have to wait til Christmas for it i definitely will lmao! Keep up the good content, I'll be watching!
This video was great all except for the part that you reminded me that I'm 43. Thanks a lot!
One of those movies that leave you sitting there for a few minutes before saying “what the fuck did I just watch?”
It took me a second but the force multiplier is actually a Po8 Luger, I screamed in force multiplier nerd when I noticed that
@13:45 as a new yorker, can confirm.
The cops' motto for the subway is "if you see something , say something"
but for the everyday New Yorker the motto is "if you see something, mind ya business"
29:58 Why did you watch this?
Because you're Roanoke, and you know we love your content, especially when it involves a little suffering on your part
Director: "This is metaph--"
Roanoke: "Ha! Like I'd let _that_ stop me! Now, scientifically speaking..."
Brains, brains, it's okay!
It doesn't matter if it isn't grey
And if at first they think it's strange
They won't think twice if they don't have a brain!
Gods above, this may be an anti-drug movie, but I guarantee you everyone in the brainstorming session was coked out of their minds
I love Frank Henenlotter films and this one is my favorite. It’s weird and fun and self-aware but then it takes a dark turn. I showed this film and Frankenhooker to my friends and they enjoyed them.
That whole history of Aylmer speech that the old man gives is ripped from The Maltese Falcon which makes it even funnier.
“ See Crackhead behavior “🤣🤣🤣 really got me rolling
Bro, I also remembered this movie like a fever dream. But it was so vivid that I knew it had to exist. After almost twenty-five years, I've finally found it.
Actually the way the room change is wonderfully done, I've a cronical disease and have to take very heavy drugs for the pain and sometimes shit like that happens. Hallucination, uncontrollable laughter, I literally fall on the floor and... absurde behavior. And I take prescribed medications. I don't even want to think about the effects of various illegal drugs.
Plus the director based the film on his own experience with addiction.
Greetings from Italy :)
One of friends showed me this movie and it is interesting to say the least, they were into pretty obscured movies
One of the few channels I look forwarded for each upload. Your up there with wendigoon and the rest bro thank you
Dude I just found your channel from deadspace, and I see one of my favorite movies. Absolutely baller
I don’t think the filmmakers put this much thought into Aylmer 😂😂😂
Not all inert gases are noble gases but all Noble gases are inert gases
I dont feel bad for Barbara she had it comming.
Its probably the only part that made me go "yes thank you" in this movie
I don't feel bad for her either sleeping with his brother you had it coming
I remember this movie from when I was a kid. I thought I was having a bad fever dream. But here we are
