Did you ever see that Twilight Zone where the guy signed a contract and they cut out his tongue and put it in a jar and it wouldn't die, it just grew and pulsated and gave birth to baby tongues? Pretty cool huh?

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker asks whether the listener remembers a Twilight Zone tale of a man who signed a contract and lost his tongue, which then lived in a jar, throbbed and multiplied into baby tongues. They finish by asking 'Pretty cool huh?', relishing the gruesome story with obvious enthusiasm.
