John and Curtis team up again with special guest (and John Cassavetes scholar) John Bruni to take on Nicolas Roeg's 1976 science fiction film, starring David Bowie. The trio talk about what they watched, shoutouts of the week, and new releases before doing a deep dive into the film. Hot topics of discussion include Bowie as an alien, capitalism, Newton's experiences on Earth, the montage, and more.Stay tuned for the next Sofia Coppola watch series next week: MARIE ANTOINETTE!TIME STAMPS00:00:00 Introduction00:02:45 News of the Week/Shoutouts/What We Watched This Week00:47:22 THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (1976) Discussion01:30:33 Our Ratings for THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH01:37:43 Coming Up Next!NEWS OF THE WEEKRemembering David Lynch (1946-2025)Terrifier 3/Leone drama recapScrapped Prince doc from NetflixNew releases: Grafted; Companion; Flight Risk; Becoming Led ZeppelinWHAT WE WATCHED THIS WEEKJOHN VALLEY: The Blackwell Ghost, The Shop Around the Corner; The War Wagon; The Straight Story; Universal LanguageCURTIS: Nosferatu (2024); Grafted; Red Rooms; North of North (Season 1)JOHN BRUNI: Fool for Love (Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Chicago)CREDITS AND PLUGSIntro: "Starman" by David BowieOutro: "An Ending (Ascent)" by Brian EnoFollow John on Letterboxd—@johnnycakes91Curtis: https://www.the-back-row.com/ - check out 'Runstedler's DVD Pick of the Month'
