Ballard novel of the same name, adapted for the screen by Amy Jump, and starring Tom Hiddleston and Jeremy Irons—we welcome to the show Simon Owens, a past colleague of Bill and Renan's and a journalist based in DC.

So why does this movie actually make less sense than some of the crazier movies we've talked about this season? Debate ensues.
