Director Johan Renck joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Spaceman, the new film starring Adam Sandler and Carey Mulligan that follows an astronaut on a solitary research mission who encounters a mysterious, benevolent spider creature (just don't tell Consequence Senior Entertainment Editor Liz Shannon Miller). Listen to the new episode now, and make sure to follow KMW and write a review to show your love!

Renck talks about how directing Sandler in a non-comedic role allowed the two to get to a particularly vulnerable place. They attempted to tap into a zeitgeist of loneliness, a vibe that's only reinforced by the script’s reflection of vanity and narcissism. The filmmaker also discusses his work directing David Bowie's music videos, and whether that late icon would have enjoyed Spaceman.
