**This podcast was recorded during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the movies being covered here wouldn’t exist.
This is another episode I’ve been looking forward to for a year or so. John Frankenheimer is one of the greatest filmmakers of all-time, but also someone who doesn’t get their due respect. In the 1960s he directed a trilogy of thrillers that delve into the anxieties of a changing political and societal landscape, and in preparing for this episode, they all continue to exert a hold now, and feel very relevant in their own ways. Join myself and actor Timothy J. Cox as we discuss “The Manchurian Candidate”, “Seven Days in May” and “Seconds”. I hope you enjoy!
The closing piece is “To Be Continued/End Credits”, composed by Brian Skutle, from his original score for the short film “The Case: Running Deadman”.
