Jason Squared

It's time for the second round of the Terrible Movie Throwdown, and Superbuddy throws down the gauntlet with 1974's Dark Star. The Jasons discuss the careers of director John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) and writer/actor Dan O'Bannon (Alien, Return of the Living Dead); what LBJ termed "the genesis of genius," or the obvious talent of Carpenter at such a young age; student films; terrible acting; existentialism; Star Wars and special effects; the 1970s political scene; Ray Bradbury; and Tom Baker-era "Doctor Who."
