EPISODE 436: ALTERED STATES

Posted on by

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.” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 436!

EPISODE 388: BLACK MIRROR, SEASON 6

Posted on by

Awww shit, here we go again. This episode we review all five episodes of Black Mirror, Season 6. While Season 4 had it’s high points, most notably an episode entitled USS Callister starring Meth Damon (Jessie Plemons), I think most will agree Season 5 was easily the worst of the series. So, we had high hopes that series creator Charlie Brooker had taken his time and bounced back with a new season to bring us more of the existential dread and dark, dizzying forays into the implications of technology and consciousness we’ve come to expect from the series since it debuted back in 2011. Is this the case? Listen to the episode and find out! 

“So, what happens when we die? We drop into Limbo. Are you serious? Limbo Unconstructed dream space. Well, what the hell is down there? Just raw, infinite subconscious. Nothing is down there!” It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 388!
