We’re joined by eldritch expert and Movie Mindset musical composer Dan Boeckner to discuss the three canonical Hollywood Body Snatchers films: 1956’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers directed by Don Siegel, 1978’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers directed by Philip Kaufman and 1993’s Body Snatchers directed by Abel Ferrara. We discuss the social, political and sexual themes of all three movies, from Cold War paranoia, to 70’s psyco-babble narcissism, to post-Gulf War end of history nihilism.
