About this listen

This episode is all about conspiracies, or is it? Two films made twenty years apart, that bookend the grand period of US counterculture paranoia. One film is from the early sixties and introduced cinema audiences to the concept of brainwashing, and the other is a suspense-riddled thriller with an unlikely investigator. We’re discussing John Frankehimer’s The Manchurian Candidate and Brian De Palma’s Blow Out.
