This week, Nick and Chris are joined by author and film critic Hal C.F. Astell from the Apocalypse Later movie blog. The film is a John Carpenter rarity, Someone's Watching Me!, the 1978 made-for-TV Hitchcockian psycho-thriller, which was widely unavailable to audiences until 2007. Turn down the lights and make sure you're comfortable behind your telescope to join us for Carpenter's first foray onto the small screen.
