Cinema Beef Podcast #150 : A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Take

Hey beefers. It’s 15o! It’s a big milestone so we have a big show for you. Gary and Suzanne talk memories and two films that have body and mind stealing as a theme. First up, when Alex Furlong is literally snatched from death’s grip and brought into the future, he has to rely on his wits and possibly a little banter to save himself from being some rich stooge’s new body. Mick Jagger winks at you in Freejack from 1992. In Get Out, on a couple’s seemingly normal visit to the new girlfriend’s parent’s house, Chris doesn’t feel quite at home. Why you ask? His hosts soon become his captors in a plot to steal his body and mind and sell it to the highest bidder. All while his mind is in permanent limbo in this modern classic by writer-director Jordan Peele. Also included is Cort and I reviewing the often maligned Caddyshack 2 for the Sloppy Seconds segment.
