111 - Dr. Strange (1978)
from Your Stupid Minds
Your Stupid Minds returns to its Episode One roots and tricks you once again into think we've reviewed a Marvel movie that hasn't come out yet. But alas, this isn't the Benestrange Cumberdoc version you're thinking, but rather a 1978 made for TV movie extended pilot made for CBS (and was never picked up). The Nameless One, a demon puppet from the nether region, commands his subject Morgan LeFay (played by Arrested Development's Jessica Walter) to kill the wizard Lindmer (John Mills) and/or his more powerful successor Dr. Strange (Peter Hooten). Fortunately for her, Strange doesn't know the depths of his mystical powers, and spends his time picking up mentally unstable woman as a psychologist at a New York hospital. Despite the three day countdown to sudden death, Lindmer and his assistant Wong (Clyde Kusatsu) take their sweet time recruiting Strange. Will Dr. Strange discover his special powers? Will he pick up a troubled psychology student half his age (Anne-Marie Martin)? Could 2016's Doctor Strange possibly live up to this masterpiece? There's only one way to find out!
