Why it’s crap
A floating alien brain possesses a scientist and discovers that Earth offers excellent opportunities for overacting. The outsized prop and solemn extraterrestrial rules make this brief invasion a dependable specimen of scientific confidence colliding with a very visible piece of rubber.
