Altered States - Part 1 (with Joe Badon)
My friend and filmmaker Joe Badon makes his first appearance on the podcast to talk about Ken Russell’s dark psychedelic trip — and “Take on Me” video inspiration — Altered States (1980). You can watch Joe’s first feature film The God inside My Ear on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07NMK384G/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r If you want to build your own “dreamachine,” here are some instructions, but I take absolutely no responsibility for the results: http://www.noah.org/science/dreamachine/ Here’s an account of a Vice reporter being underwhelmed by his dreamachine experience: https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/xd3mx7/dream-machine-tripping-on-light-876 Finally, here’s a video breakdown of all the similarities between The God inside My Ear and the Netflix film Horse Girl: https://youtu.be/_i6sMiCSIrY NOTE: Joe does not endorse this video and did not ask me to link it, so if you think it’s bunk, don’t yell at him about it.
