Episode 49: The Man from Earth (2007) w/ Dr. Predrag Radović

On this episode, Dr. Predrag (Pedja) Radović joins us to talk about The Man from Earth (2007), the story of an academic who tries to convince his colleagues that he is 14,000 years old. This low budget movie was filmed on camcorders and takes place in a single room, and yet it’s somehow one of the better movies we’ve seen!
