Starman (1984) f/ Brian Verderosa

At long last, we're back in action to discuss John Carpenter's
1984 romantic sci-fi road movie Starman
-- and we've brought along our ol' podcasting pal, Brian
Verderosa, to help us sort through this very unique
addition to the Carpenter canon. While the first decade of the
director's career was marked by thrills, chills, and dark humor,
with Starman, Carpenter shows his
sentimental side; yes, there's an extraterrestrial visitor, here,
but this movie is about as far from The Thing as it gets.
 Did your hosts find the film as heartwarming as it clearly
intends to be? Did Jeff Bridges deserve the Oscar nomination that
he earned for playing the title character? And, just what's up
with those magical balls? All that and much, much more on the
latest Precinct 13!
