The Seths pass out in a sensory deprivation tank filled with a mysterious truck-themed selzter and trip out into primordial versions of themselves as they watch Ken Russell's proto-walk-and-talk psychedelic journey "Altered States" (1980) starring William Hurt, Blair Brown, Bob Balaban and Charles Haid.
