Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

It's pod people, pop psychologists, mud baths, and one very grumpy health inspector this week. Philip Kaufman's iconic remake is bursting with 1970s cooky vibes, courtesy of Michael Chapman's singular cinematography, and Leonard Nimoy's very small leather glove. Best remake of all time?

Next week we're going for what may be the biggest alien movie of them all...Steven Spielberg's 1982 E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL. Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx.
