Welcome to Brain Melt Cinema! A diminuitive podcast looking to tackle the big world of outsider art. Episode five finds us shrinking our egos until we reach an embryonic state of consciousness and are ready to discuss two tiny masterpieces.

We debate fascism and metaphor in 1979's The Tin Drum by Volker Schlöndorff, and empathize with the monster in 1993's The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb by Dave Borthwick. As always, we match each Brain Melt selection with a canonical arthouse favorite as well, and would love to hear if you agree or disagree with our choice. Excited for anyone who catches us early and can start to follow along!
