DAILY CALL SHEET: JUNE 18, 2021

The Brain Eaters (1958) Alien parasites control human minds. Rather tepid take on Heinlein's Puppet Masters with (boo) no actual brain eating. TIL: The soul is the internal principle by which we think, feel, and will. It's there even if the brain is in a vegetative state.

Funny Book Philosophy: Batman Family 001 (1975) Just remembering that time Batgirl and Robin kicked Satan's butt.

I'm not sure if I've seen The Brain Eaters Before. The page from The Batman Family comic seems to have a good storyline although a bit disturbing (with Satan taking a soul).

I actually just watched The Brain Eaters for the first time myself last week. Found it on Tubi. As for the Batman Family story, it's a soul Satan already had in Hell (old Revolutionary War traitor Benedict Arnold) who he gave a chance to return to Earth in an effort to destroy America right before the Bicentennial. They failed, so back to Hell they went.
