Invasion of the Body Snatchers Fifteen Minute Film Fanatics

    • Avaliações de filmes

Not having seen it in decades, Mike and Dan revisit Philip Kaufman's 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers, his terrific remake of the 1956 classic. They praise the film's soundscape with many examples, from the famous screech to the sound of Donald Sutherland's scissors. Dan mentions the terrific use of garbage trucks and Mike talk about the uncanny valley as applied to the pod-people. Of course, they talk about the ending--an ending that works so well because "it hurts." They also talk about the strange experience of watching this film in our time of COVID.
