Summary

The Halloweenies answer the call from the San Francisco Health Department, where they are to study Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers for its 45th anniversary. Together, they discuss the history of the Invasion story, Kaufman's docustyle eye, the film's commentary on '70s counterculture and consumerism, and all the chaos within every frame of this 1978 gem.
