The Hate Expectations regulars, Lizzy and Nate, along with out-of-this-world special guest Jonathan Franklin, dig into America's past's potential future by watching and reading The Man Who Fell to Earth, the Walter Tevis sci-fi novel (1963), and the Nicolas Roeg directed David Bowie vehicle (1976). Much is made of how the filmmakers attempt something strange and curious, but ultimately alienate the delicate and sensitive source material. Creepy sex scenes are glossed over, the Watergate scandal is reinvestigated, and the trio tries desperately to inject logic where none likely exists. In the end, all the group can really take away from the experience is that when you get high you must inevitably come crashing back down. Well, that and cocaine is a hell of a thing.
