Episode 295 The Manchurian Candidate Listeners Choice
The original political thriller that turned the red queen into the most sinister card in the deck comes to ITQ. Frank Sinatra has our fullest sympathies as heroic Bennett Marco, a Korean War vet trying to understand what is happening to his fellow enlisted man, Raymond Shaw. Both men had a *remarkable* experience in combat that has devastating repercussions not just for them, but for the future of Western Civilization. Throw in a chilling performance by Angela Lansbury as a creepy mom, and John Frankenheimers trademark unusual camera angles and you have the makings of a classic. Drew returns to the podcast to discuss this highbrow picture.
