Movie Meltdown

Episode 30 – Movie Meltdown - This week we continue with the second half of our Veronica Cartwright Double Feature as we watch the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. This unusually good remake also stars Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum and Leonard Nimoy. We go in-depth on the finer points of Philip Kaufman's film, including the addition of the conspiracies angle, the creepy mood, interesting shots and a minor comparison to the 1956 original.
