Episode 25: Altered States
Dave, Devan, Michael and Ryan decide to try out some untested but I'm sure perfectly safe recreational drugs, spend hours in sensory deprivation tanks, and hallucinate some not-weird-at-all imagery before mutating into prehistoric beings while they discuss Ken Russell's 1980 body horror film "Altered States."
