Drugs! Hallucinogens! Sensory deprivation! Ancient shamanic rituals! Religious angst! Psychosexual tension! Cellular memory! Consciousness expansion! The collective unconscious! The primal self! Practical effects! Body horror! Psychedelic nightmare visions of crucified beasts floating in the air! BOOBS! (That one was for Matt). 



This episode we get into the trippy scifi horror of Ken Russell's 1980 cult classic, ALTERED STATES...and a bunch of other stuff. 



"We all live with it. That unbearable terror is what makes us such singular creatures. We hide from it, we succumb to it, mostly we defy it! We build fragile little structures to keep it out. We love, we raise families, we work, we make friends. We write poems...Well, l think that that true self, that original self, that first self, is a real, quantifiable thing, tangible and incarnate, and I'm going to find the fucker."
