Those are Mindflayers (which is apparently actually two words…) — the brain-eating, squid-faced dudes from Dugeons & Dragons, probably brought more generally into the popular consciousness lately both my being the namesake of the monster from Stranger Things and being a major part of the plot of Baldur's Gate 3.
And the general premise is a pun based on the "Mind on my money and my money on my mind" line from Snoop Dogg's Gin and Juice. Just, uh, probably more literal than Snoop intended…
This was actually really hard to execute, as it happens. Firstly, not being born an octopus, I did not have the limbs required to turn the, uh, spinny thing and hold my iPad to film. Secondly, it turns out that the standard Mindflayer miniature for physical tabletop D&D is not heavy enough to weight down a twenty Canadian Dollar bill.
Anyway, keep following along with Emona Literary Services™ — particularly here and/or on Patreon — for my ongoing struggles with filmmaking and more Sci Fi, Fantasy and bad puns just like this…
