WARNING: THIS EPISODE IS GROSS
A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but you'd never know that from watching the movies. Over the years cinema has shown us some very imaginative (and gruesome) ways to cut off, smash or completely blow up the human head. On today’s episode we’ll talk about some of those films and how they affect us, so be prepared to have your mind blown (literally) as we discuss “Head Trauma.”
