The Boys From Brazil (1978) aka “It’s getting really weird”

Hey guys, sorry for dropping the ball this month, but a big change happened with the podcast. Other than that, everything is fine? *insert cartoon dog in burning room meme here*

Seriously though, things are indeed getting a little weird out there. This week’s episode is truncated and more of a film recommendation. Ira Levin penned some of the most popular novels from the 1960s through the 70s: Rosemary’s Baby, The Stepford Wives, and The Boys From Brazil — all three had successful film adaptations. Levin had a gift for tapping into the popular consciousness and scaring the bejeezus out of the public. Given the political landscape of the day, The Boys From Brazil went to the top of my viewing list. Episode links:
