In this episode we explore the life and creations of cinema’s mad scientists. Lindsay gives us a quick run down on the history of the mad science film (06:45), then we discuss Ken Russell’s psychedelic mind-melter Altered States (14:47) and Stuart Gordon’s Lovecraftian gore-fest Re-Animator (1:14:24). We end with some Honourable Mentions of our favourite nutty professors (1:58:00), which includes Liam trying to convince Lindsay of the virtues of Ang Lee’s Hulk .
