Bar Talk
(7:57)This 2013 short film was presented by Dust in 2017; re-released in 2024.
This is based on a short story by Joe R. Lansdale, which I don't think I've read. A guy walks into a bar and orders a beer. Another guy sits down beside him and strikes up a conversation, despite the first man's obvious wish not to be disturbed. The second man says he has a really good story to tell... which is that he's a spy from Mars. I don't want to say more than that, but the film is kind of a horror comedy. Most of the film I didn't like that much, because the talker is kind of annoying, and the listener wasn't particularly likable. But towards the end, it gets reasonably interesting, so I figure it was worth eight minutes of my time, I guess.
