Brain Damage (1988)

Get ready to beg for our juice because we are FINALLY discussing Frank Henenlotter's Brain Damage (1988). After years of requests, we're ready to tackle Aylmer, the film's gay and/or drug allegory, and why Barbara should have just fucked the brother. Plus: incest, bathhouse towels, sub/dom, and who could direct a remake of this exploitation classic?
