You might also check out "Slime City" (1988) another of those low budget grindhouse-ish grimy made in NYC horror films;. There's a sequel "Slime City Massacre" with Debbie Rochon. Have not seen that but can highly recommend the original.

Great show! Re: "Altered States" -- You really should've devoted an episode to this one. As someone who has read the book and seen the movie I am perplexed (as was Russell, I believe) as to Chayefsky's reaction (he took his name off it). The film closely adheres to the book in plot-structure and dialog. Russell's "lunacy" is reserved for the more hallucinogenic material. The day-to-day drama is both restrained and often quite elegant. It should also be noted that it has the smartest dialog of any sci-fi /horror film with characters that actually sound like they're Phds.

It would be fantastic if you could list out the films discussed in this episode.... there are so many great ones.
