The Lawnmower Man (1992): "They shot my chimp! Why are you being a b*tch?!"

Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Pierce Brosnan) has devoted his life to the study of virtual reality and in order to pursue his studies, he must work under a government contract at VSI alongside Timms (Mark Bringelson) and under the giant head of the mysterious Director (Dean Norris). Using a VR program, the Doc seeks to enhance the intelligence of a chimp while VSI seeks to make it a weapon. The project goes wrong and the chimp is killed in an escape in front of neighborhood staple, Jobe (Jeff Fahey). The Doc decides Jobe is about as smart as his previous subject, so why not? After injecting this simple man with brain drugs and messing with his cortex, Dr. Angelo loses control as Jobe seeks to become a God. Also a whole bunch of other stuff happens which somehow makes The Lawnmower Man one of the longest movies Doom Generation has ever covered - enjoy! Support this podcast at patreon.com/doomgeneration
