Cultists, there's a handful of remakes that eclipse the original in the public consciousness. Phillip Kaufman's Invasion Of The Body Snatchers is certainly one of those. Kaufman moved the setting into the urban heart of San Francisco and gave the Cult Classic the vibe of a 1970s paranoid thriller. Giving us some of the most iconic images of 1970s genre cinema.

Cultists, it's the Seventieth anniversary of Don Siegel's Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. Something about the low budget B-Movie captured the zeitgeist of the McCarthy era, and it then later became a cult classic after its reassessment by the cinephile crowd. So it seems like a good time to put it on the Exam Table. Please join us for the Dissection.

The story explored themes of sexual repression in British society and the corrupt underbelly of London's entertainment industry during the 1980s. The discussion included analysis of character motivations, the supernatural elements of Ronnie's ghostly form, and the story's dark humor. The podcasters also shared insights about the story's adaptation into a Tapping the Vein comic and discussed upcoming content including a 1978 movie commentary series where votes were still being collected between Superman and The Body Snatchers. The conversation ended with a light-hearted photo shoot using blankets as a creative way to represent the podcast's ghostly theme. The Pornographer's Shroud: Moral Consequences The group discussed Clive Barker's story "The Pornographer's Shroud" from Volume 3 of Books of Blood. José explained that the story explores how a man who builds his moral universe by denying the body faces consequences even after death, noting that Ronnie Glass, the protagonist, is an everyman who works for a pornography publisher but remains sexually prudish. Ryan and José discussed how the story reveals that Ronnie's moral judgments are flawed, as he believes sin can be corrected like an error in a ledger. The group agreed that the story is terrifying not just for its supernatural elements but also because Ronnie doesn't recognize his own evil, seeing himself as tidy and righteous. McGuire's Greed and Retribution The group discussed a story involving Michael McGuire, who discovers his boss's involvement in distributing explicit magazines. José explained that McGuire, who appears respectable but is driven by greed, becomes angry when he learns about his boss's illegal activities. The story critiques British society's repressive nature, as McGuire's public persona contrasts with his private actions. Ryan questioned why McGuire would visit the warehouse, given his knowledge of the illegal operations, and José suggested McGuire's curiosity and denial played a role. The discussion concluded with McGuire punching his boss in a fit of rage, only to face retaliation from McGuire's associates. Ronnie's Fall and Path to Revenge The group discussed a scenario involving Ronnie Glass, who was smeared by the media after being linked to a pornography case, despite not being directly involved. They analyzed how Ronnie's reputation was destroyed, his wife left him, and he felt a twisted sense of relief during his beating, viewing it as a form of punishment. The conversation also touched on Ronnie's transformation from feeling betrayed to seeking revenge, his struggle to obtain a gun in England, and his cold, calculated approach to planning murder after his wife's departure. Ronnie Glass's Vengeful Journey The group discussed the character Ronnie Glass and his journey of revenge after being wrongfully accused and framed by his criminal associates. They analyzed his cold-blooded killings of Henry B and Dennis Dork Lozati, noting his lack of conscience and methodical approach to settling scores. The discussion highlighted how Ronnie's actions not only avenged his own wrongs but also shook the underworld's power balance, with some respecting his courage while others condemned his brutality. The conversation also touched on Ronnie's missed opportunity for redemption by not leaving a letter to his wife to explain his innocence and the impact of his actions on innocent people. Violence and Emotional Detachment The group discussed a violent story involving Ronnie's murder by McGuire, who then casually returned to social activities afterward. They noted how the characters showed little emotional response to the violence, with the pathologist and his assistants engaging in trivial conversation while performing the autopsy. Ronnie's wife visited his body without much emotional display, and he later became frustrated by the disrespectful treatment during the autopsy, leading him to leave his body through his shroud and become a ghost-like figure. Ronnie's Shroud Murder Spree The group discussed a story involving Ronnie, who gains the ability to manipulate a shroud to create a semi-human form and uses this power to kill a pathologist. Ronnie later encounters McGuire in a sex shop, where McGuire is choked and killed by Ronnie, who then escapes. The story also follows McGuire's goons and their interactions with corrupt police officers, including a scene where one goon is beaten for pleasuring himself in the police station. McGuire's Tragic End The group discussed a scene involving McGuire, who is recovering from an attack and reflecting on his life while surrounded by portraits of his heroes. McGuire's wife and child visit, but after the dogs start barking, Ronnie, who is already on the property, attacks McGuire. Ronnie ultimately kills McGuire by jamming his shroud down McGuire's throat, then shoots McGuire's wife and Norton before being killed by the Shroud in front of McGuire's young daughter. The story then shifts to Ronnie seeking redemption by confessing to a priest, but Father Rooney is distracted by taking photographs with a woman named Natalie. The Body Politik Adaptation Discussion The group discussed the story "The Body Politik," focusing on its themes of suburban tranquility masking deeper secrets and its adaptation into a Tapping the Vein comic. They noted that the story would work better as a short film or part of an anthology series rather than a full-length feature. José mentioned that the story shares similarities with other Clyde Barker works, such as "Hell's Event" and "Pig Blood Blues." The discussion concluded with comments from Reddit users praising the story's pacing and Clive Barker's ability to make unusual ideas believable, as well as noting that the Mick Garris adaptation was not well-received.

Matt Dillon is Jack in The House that Jack Built (2018), a seriously mean movie. Great Horror movies can often be a bummer. Vicious, unrelenting, and cruel films that deny us the happy ending and the victorious fist pump. Many horror fans, and a couple of the podcasters for The Scariest Things in particular, seek these films out. We are crossing bridges too far. No punch pulling. Beware and behold Episode 205: Mean Horror. The caveats associated with the “recommendations” presented in this episode have caveats of their own. These are the films that may make you regret your movie selection decisions. Grim. Brutal. Emotionally taxing. These movies have merit, but these aren’t movies meant to be enjoyed. Quite the opposite, actually. These movies strip your soul and make you ponder the darkness in society. Often, these movies are human-on-human horror, delivering cruelty that only we can inflict on ourselves. Just know we will be following up soon with the salve for the emotional wounds that come with our “Feel Good” episode to help you recover. Here are the criteria we used in picking our movies. The movie does not require compliance with all the listed criteria, but if the movie contains many of these themes, then it would qualify for our selections. Bad things happen to innocent people. Repeatedly. The protagonists often don’t survive the movie. Evil wins. The ending is a bummer. There is little humor in the movie. Typically, people would not describe this movie as “fun.” The movie may be pervasively depressing and nihilistic. There is little hope in the movie. The movie has an emotional impact. Note that this is not a reflection of the quality of the movies. Many of them are very good and critically appreciated. They also don’t need to be gory to be mean, though they often are. The Podcast: Episode 205: Mean Horror With those caveats and warnings: brace yourselves. It’s time for MEAN HORROR. For similar content, check our Bridge Too Far Infographics.

Send us a textIt's said that ghosts haunt the places they loved in life or left things undone. We expect to find them in old houses, former battlegrounds and misty cemeteries. But they're just as likely to be hanging at your local food court or DMV. Today, we're talking about retail and municipal hauntings.
Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. How does the Creator define our relationship with Him? Continuing in John chapter 15, Rabbi Steve Berkson explores the ‘Love/Hate' aspects of our walk. Rabbi Berkson points to verse 18, where the Messiah, out of love, tells His disciples and us that if He was hated and rejected by the world, then we would be hated and rejected too. Why would “the world” hate you? What or who is “the world”? What does the movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, have to do with us and “the world”? Then, moving into John chapter 14, Rabbi Berkson clarifies what Yeshua meant when He said, “I go to prepare a place for you…” You should be very excited when you hear what Rabbi Berkson has to say about that. Once again, Rabbi Berkson breaks down these passages to help you gain a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so you can do it and receive the blessings.

In this episode of the Fan2Fan Podcast, Bernie and Pete dig into why horror remakes aren't just cash grabs; they can be cultural mirrors. They explore how each new version reflects the fears, politics, and anxieties of its era ion movies including Invasion of the Body Snatchers to The Thing, The Fly, The Crazies, and more. The duo discuss how Cold War paranoia, AIDS-era panic, post-9/11 distrust, and societal movements have all shaped how filmmakers reinterpret classic monsters. Whether it's aliens, body horror, or gaslighting, these remakes don't just retell familiar stories…they show us what society is truly afraid of in their moment in time. The conversation was prompted by an article titled "These Horror Remakes Are Vital Sociopolitical Mirrors Of Their Time" by Ariel Fisher (www.arielfisher.com).

"They're here already! You're next! You're next! You're next!" The Cold War Cinema team returns to discuss the 1956 sci-fi classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Something is off in the sleepy little town of Santa Mira, California. As residents begin worrying that their family and friends no longer seem to be who they say they are, Dr. Miles Bennell and his former flame Becky Driscoll slowly uncover an alien plot to replace every person on earth with otherworldly duplicates. Directed by Don Siegel (Riot on Cell Block 11, Dirty Harry, Escape from Alcatraz) and written by Daneil Mainwaring (Out of the Past), and with uncredited work by blacklisted screenwriter Richard Collins (Song of Russia), Invasion explores myriad maladies in midcentury American culture. Join hosts Jason Christian, Tony Ballas, and Paul T. Klein as we discuss: The many complicated—and often contradictory—political allegories often read into the film from both the left and the right, including anti-communist and anti-conformist messages. The political and discursive handwringing done by Invasion's creative team to distance themselves and the film from its most potent politics. Invasion's other formal and narrative critiques of psychoanalysis, middle-class nuclear family values, professional expertise, and the Hollywood studio system. Why movies are not riddles to be solved. _____________________ We love to give book or film recommendations on the podcast, so here are ours for this episode: Paul recommends Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982, Tommy Lee Wallace).

Here at Baconsale, we understand that fear is subjective. Yes, we understand that, but that doesn't stop us from arguing about it. Kent found a list of the scariest horror movie moments of all time, made by the streaming service Shudder, and we decided to tier 31 of these terrifying scenes. Please note that this isn't an episode you want to listen to with your kids, since we will be describing some pretty intense parts from films such as Wait Until Dark, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, Pan's Labyrinth, and Hereditary. However, we'll keep things as family friendly as possible and not share too many gory details. And remember, while we have mad respect for these scary movies, the YouTube versions are different. Don't go into the basement and get a little possessed, press play!
This week we're bringing you a replay of a case that is one of the wildest—and most unsettling—stories we've ever covered. Back in 2005, headlines dubbed him the Body Snatcher of New York. Dr. Michael Mastromarino was a once-promising dentist who built a shady side business harvesting human tissue and bones without consent. What started as a booming “medical” enterprise unraveled into a shocking scandal that left thousands of families devastated, raised questions about the tissue donation industry, and earned Mastromarino a spot in true crime infamy. We're re-airing this episode now because it ties in more than you'd expect with the docuseries The Kings of Tupelo, which we're covering all month long.
