About this episode
What happens when mad science pushes the human mind and body to their absolute limits? Our latest journey through sci-fi takes us from swirling cosmic vortices to larval mind-control worms. We explore how Ken Russell's Altered States (1980) turns science into body horror and how Shane Carruth's Upstream Colour (2013) transforms trauma into an arthouse mystery about love and memory.  Visit our website https://www.journeythroughscifi.com/ Email Us!
