Just revisited Hal Ashby's THE LAST DETAIL (1973) and I'm struck by how distraction in the face of impending doom relates to today.

Robert Towne (1934-2024) got one of his earliest credits on THE OUTER LIMITS in 1964.

The future Oscar winner wrote “The Chameleon,” a surprisingly moving episode of the sci-fi anthology series.

Robert Duvall stars a CIA agent who goes undercover...as an alien.
