Cody, Robert, and Nat experience sensory deprivation and psychedelic hallucinations this month with Ken Russell's ALTERED STATES. Perhaps surprisingly, we're able to make sense of the trippy film and we take sides in the behind the scenes fighting between Ken Russell and Paddy Chayefsky. Also, find out who once fell asleep during the film and woke up to be frightened out of his wits by primal man. I think it's an interesting discussion. As a bonus, we take a look back at two major science fiction films of the year, THE MARTIAN and EX MACHINA.
