We're baaaack! We're relaunching Pop That! Podcast with a new logo and a fresh attitude, so buckle up, listeners.
For our first episode back, Aaron Haughton joins the show from Viddy Well Film Blog. That's right, it's our seasonal tradition: Slasher Summer. This year, we're breaking down the best horror remakes of all time, starting with Philip Kaufman's 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Kaufman’s late 70s remake of 1956’s Body Snatchers is a meditation on post-war paranoia that manages to scare up one helluva punch in terms of story and characters, resonating even by modern standards. How do we survive the inevitability of change, when adaption means losing who we are? It’s time to Pop That on 1978’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
