We sat down for an in-studio conversation with filmmaker Courtney Stephens, co-director of the recent documentary, John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office. Courtney shares her unique perspective on Lilly as someone who has spent 5+ years conducting interviews with his associates and reviewing massive amounts of archival material. Our conversation centers around Lilly's sprawling and complicated cultural legacy; with plenty of digressions into strange and esoteric rabbit holes. If you liked our first John Lilly episode, you'll love this one. TW for brief discussions of animal abuse.
