On this episode of The Flop House, we discuss Invasion, the only film to tackle the body-snatching

minutes other than, you know, all those other ones.

So, this is the first daytime recording of The Flop House. I don't know whether that's

at the time that Melville wrote, uh, probably the classic illustrated version of Moby

Day. Melville, we like your book. But we won't, we need to condense it for this classic

illustrated. All right, I am working as an anonymous civil servant. I will do it for

you. Yeah. That's a little bit of information about Melville's life. Hmm, for the listener.
