Richard Kelly has had an interesting (if annoyingly abbreviated) directorial career thus far. He hit the indie scene with the enjoyably weird Donnie Darko (2001) before delivering a pricey misfire called Southland Tales (2006), and then he got to helm this half-bizarre / half-conventional sci-fi mindbender based on a Richard Matheson story. Big thanks to Chicago film critic James Laczkowski (@jim_laczkowski), who picked this flick, for joining me for this episode. (Also, thank you, patrons.)
