#17: The Manchurian Candidate (1962)

Show Notes Sadly still applicable: We stand with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA   This week, we get to Lemuel’s favorite (if we go by number of times he has mentioned it this series), 1962 John Frankenheimer mind-freak The Manchurian Candidate. We try to make it make sense without getting too lost in the twists and turns. We talk about the surprising performances, the fascinating directorial choices and the lip sweat – there’s so much lip sweat.   Recommendations: The Pope’s Exorcist (Netflix); They Cloned Tyrone (Netflix)   Next up: Chinatown (1974)   Email us at [email protected] Twitter: @latecomerspod Find Amity @ www.amityarmstrong.com and @AmityArmstrong on Twitter Our Facebook group is here for those who consent: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1754020081574479/
