About this listen

"There's nothing to be afraid of. They were right. It's painless. It's good."

In this episode, we watch Philip Kaufman’s 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Often praised as a paranoid sci-fi classic, the film has atmosphere, star power, and that unforgettable final shot.

We found ourselves less enthralled than expected, and our conversation unpacks why the film’s reputation might outstrip the experience of sitting through it today.

Join us as we dig into what works, what drags, and why this alien takeover didn’t quite capture our hearts.
