For the last episode in our Sci-Fi December series it's a five hour journey into Douglas Trumbull's Brainstorm (1983) which stars Christopher Walken as scientist Michael Brace who has helped in the discovery of a new technology that records the sensations of a person and allows for playback directly into another person's brain.

  3. It appears that BRAINSTORM's production-setback curse trickled down into the publication of Joseph Maddrey's book! Whose publication date is October 2020 according to Amazon.
