I think it's from Black Mirror: Bandersnatch:

That sounds like it. Thanks!

The funny thing is, while I have seen that, it was a long time ago (right after Bandersnatch came out). But I have the nagging notion that I saw this recently.

I suppose either somebody else riffed on that scene, OR (perhaps more likely) something I was doing led me to go back and watch a brief clip from Bandersnatch on Youtube or something, and it was in fact that very scene. Funny that I can't recall the details now though. I just recall the "OK Timothy Leary" and "it was Huxley, not Leary" thing. Weird.

Edit: Aaaah... maybe what I'm remembering is this relatively recent HN thread which actually mentioned that scene.

That thread itself being a discussion of Huxley and The Doors of Perception.
