We continue our series on the Red Scare with Phillip Kaufman's 1978 adaptation of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" starring Donald Sutherland, Leonard Nimoy, and Jeff Goldblum. In our previous episode, we discussed the machinations of the Red Scare, and in this episode we talk about the paranoia and lives ruined in the wake of the Communist Panic. Discussion also include:

• The Kendrick Lamar v. Drake beef;

• The continued crackdown on Pro-Palestenian college protests;

• Irving Adler, a communist math teacher, who stared down the House Un-American Activities Committee;

• Weird right-wingers finally found the cure for wokeness: Sydney Sweeney.

In this episode, Hal & Craig discuss John Frankenheimer's 1962 political thriller THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Angela Lansbury, and Janet Leigh and the cynical, political use of a vague Communist Menace. We discuss the history of the Red Scare, the legacy of McCarthyism, and the lives upended in its wake. Discussion also includes:

• Craig finally watched Hal's favorite movie: Ken Russell’s THE DEVILS;

• Our favorite right-wing moron, Steven Crowder, is still having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day!;

• Good news on Florida's terrible Don't Say Gay Bill;

• We read (and laugh at) Armond White's 2023 Better-Than List.
