40 - From the Vault: The Man from Earth (2007)

Odds and Ends: Another throwback episode, featuring T.J.’s dogs, Nick filtered through T.J.’s stream-sniping, air traffic controller Travis, and a much more awkward, stilted but not structured show! In the pre (not post!) chat, we cover some of last year’s Oscar nominees, like Judas and the Black Messiah and Sound of Metal. Discussing the ethics of pirating movies made by shitty douchebags.

Feature Film: We’re talking the ultra low-budget low-key sci-fi talky movie “The Man from Earth,” written by classic sci-fi icon Jerome Bixby. A simple bottle movie about a guy telling his friends he’s a multi-millenia old being, which they react to by… talking about it, for the whole thing. Venturing into many different philosophical alleyways and theoretical roundabouts, it’s a simple but heady trip into a world of what ifs, some… more ridiculous than others. Though if everyone had thought ahead and used their Jump to Conclusions mats, they could’ve avoided all this nonsense.

Next week's movie: We say Ikiru, but it's actually Zodiac (2007)
