The Body Snatchers

Welcome back to Adapted with Anna and Sam! During the break, one of us gave birth (and we are joined by that little bundle of joy this episode) and the other did not. What hasn't changed is our love for our patron saint Jeff Goldblum. We are so excited to launch Season 2 with The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney, and its 1978 adaptation, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Listen along as Anna and Sam try to decide, is it possible to be too lanky, and, what sort of health inspector super powers does Donald Sutherland really have?

You can find all the cast lists and other fun trivia on iMDB.

Purchase the book and/or movie at Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble, or your favorite indie bookstore, or borrow from your local library in person or via Overdrive. (Please support your local library!!)
