In the basement of a university medical school Dr . Jessup floats naked in total darkness. The most terrifying experiment in the history of science is out of control… and the subject is himself.
Welcome to our 121st show! The Cult Sensation has pulled his request card! We recently lost another excellent actor and this loss was enough for Nick to want to pay tribute to the first film this gentleman starred in. A fairly obscure little gem that fits perfectly in our catalog. If science runs amok stories are your bag? I think you’re in for a good time.
