Episode 295 - The Manchurian Candidate *Listener's 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 Frankenheimer's trademark unusual camera angles and you have the makings of a classic.  Drew returns to the podcast to discuss this highbrow picture.   You can download the podcast here by right-clicking on the hypertext link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player attached to this post.
