In this episode of Intergalactic, we discuss the indie sci-fi film THE MAN FROM EARTH, written by Jerome Bixby. Released in 2007, this micro-budget movie explores immortality and features a goofy but thought-provoking storyline and a wonderful cast made up of recognizable genre character actors.
We highlight the tight dialogue and the performances of the cast, particularly Tony Todd and John Billingsley. Join Mike and Les Weiler from The TV Dudes as we dive into this odd little charmer.
