This week we're checking out the first film from director John Carpenter, his "sort of" a student film from 1974, Dark Star!

As student films go you can count on one hand how many are at the same level of genius as Dark Star. This film excels in several important areas and has an atmosphere few movies can compete with. 

Join us as we chat John Carpenter and his contributions beyond directing this film. The interesting development cycle the film took, how the comedy aspect fits in with the deep sci-fi, and much more!
