On the latest episode of THE TWO-SHOT, film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold release "Kazaam" from its magical boombox and reveal why, in a bizarre twist of fate, it's the perfect double feature for Nicolas Roeg's experimental sci-fi classic THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, starring the late David Bowie!
