EPISODE 436: ALTERED STATES
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."

EPISODE 435: THE DEAD ZONE
This episode wraps up a trifecta of Stephen King adaptations, as we review 1983's THE DEAD ZONE, which has quite the pedigree, Cronenberg! Walken! King!
The movie also features Martin Sheen as a corrupt, dangerously opportunistic politician who exploits populism to gain authoritarian power and could hold the fate of the world in his hands if he isn't stopped. Chilling stuff, thankfully we don't have anything like that going on.

EPISODE 434: THE MONKEY
Alright haomies...this episode we review Oz Perkins' film adaption of the Stephen King short story, THE MONKEY.
And of course we get into it about a bunch of other films and non sequiturs.
Pre-show which is available exclusively to our Patreon members has even more unedited and off the wall discussions, including our experience seeing a charming band called Chat Pile here in sunny San Diego.
Up next we wrap up a little series of King adaptations with THE DEAD ZONE (1983).
"Everybody dies. Some of us peacefully and in our sleep, and some of us... horribly. And that's life. Did you know that 27 percent of all English-speaking people will either say 'horseshit' or 'holy shit' before they die? Now, it's funny, because death is the one big thing that'll happen to all of us, and yet we still can't help but be somehow surprised by it." It's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 433!

EPISODE 433: THE NIGHT FLIER
Greetings from the 9th Circle of Hell!
Every now ad then the Lord of WGT Patreon (you should join btw) picks a movie for us to watch and review. And so it came to pass that Lord Hans bestowed us with a choice between the 1997 HBO movie adaptation of Stephen King's The Night Flier, or The Dread Central production, Benny Loves You. As you can see, we decided on the former. Worry not friends, as we of course make sure to address our reasoning behind this critical decision on the episode.
Once this this little series of King adaptations is wrapped up we get into the 1980 Ken Russell directed Paddy Chayefsky written psych/scifi horror freakout of ALTERED STATES before weighing in on Ryan Coogler's 2025 genre-mashup runaway hit, SINNERS.
“He was wearing a big cloak he was. Red as a fire engine inside, black as a woodchuck's asshole outside. And when it spread out behind him, it looked like a goddamn bat's wing it did. After talking to these crazy people all day every single day, their stories can get to you. Creep in like some fucking cancer and pretty soon, all this starts making sense.” It's the Who Goes There Podcast Episode 433!
