What Is Sheila and the Brainstem About?
The premise of Sheila and the Brainstem without spoilers.
In the American Southwest, eccentric visionary Taz misplaces the dried‑out Brainstem he unearthed in a hidden underground realm, believing it unlocks immortality. During a convenience‑store robbery, punks Sean, Head and Billy Dork steal it, mistaking it for jerky. Newlyweds Bruce and Sheila stumble into the clash: the punks take Sheila hostage while Taz abducts Bruce. A surreal chase unfolds across a maze of identical stores, housing tracts and rampant consumerism.
