Surprise! It’s the spooky season, and as a special bonus I’ll be making Newski (who hates horror) watch a classic horror movie EVERY SATURDAY THIS MONTH! We’ll be hitting all the big ones - Aliens, Ghosts, Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies. So sit back, pour yourself a Bloody Mary and join us on this journey!

This week we’re getting paranoid, taking a mud bath, and crossing a dog with a banjo player, all while discussing the 1978 classic remake ‘Invasion of the Bodysnatchers’.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a 1978 American science-fiction horror film directed by Philip Kaufman and starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Veronica Cartwright, Jeff Goldblum, and Leonard Nimoy. Released on December 22, 1978, it is a remake of the 1956 film of the same name, which is based on the 1955 novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney. The plot involves a San Francisco health inspector and his colleague who over the course of a few days discover that humans are being replaced by alien duplicates; each is a perfect copy of the person replaced, but devoid of human emotion.
