Hi, I don't think I imagined this. I am having some autism issues and would appreciate any assistance anyone might be able to provide in finding this movie title for me.
I'm pretty sure this is MST3K (not Rifftrax), although I searched the Wikipedia list of episodes and am not seeing it. It's an older movie, like the 1930's, I would say. There is a 'professor'/scientist older gentleman, and a younger assistant-type character. I think the assistant character is charged with locating an organ from a cadaver at the morgue. He comes back 'empty handed' and the older professor scientist freaks out. He pulls out a gun from the table drawer and tells the assistant to shoot himself and he will bring him back to life. The assistant then shoots the 'professor', and then the plot becomes something like he (the assitant) disguises himself as the older professor character. At an earlier point in the film, the assistant and professor are both trying to steal a (female) cadaver from the morgue. Maybe they try and bring her back to life by pumping her arms up and down?...
Anyhow, thanks for any help. There was a quote by Dr. William Sadler (Urantia Book fame) about faith and fear at the beginning of the episode, too (unless I'm getting this confused with another b-movie intro as well).
