YKS Premium S43E03: Altered States with Chris James

I think I'll do a big experiment where I investigate the origins of human consciousness. I just hope nothing BAD happens..

This week Chris James (NEAS, GUYS) hops in the isolation tank for a bit of monkey business as we discuss Ken Russell's 1980 science-fiction horror film ALTERED STATES.

So you're telling me the monkey man had FOUR jobs in 1980? I'm supposed to believe he was doing all of the following??: 1. Swingin from tree to tree 2. Bouncin around all day on their strong ass knees 3. Keepin the bees at bay, eatin bananas all day, and rockin (all one job) 4. breaking into the zoo and fighting some dogs in a movie i can barely even get myself to floss every day! impressive.

Bryan Adams was singer in Sweeney Todd the band when he was 16, and Chris and Dan would know that because he's one of their main guys up there.
