In this episode, Hal & Craig discuss John Frankenheimer's 1962 political thriller THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Angela Lansbury, and Janet Leigh and the cynical, political use of a vague Communist Menace. We discuss the history of the Red Scare, the legacy of McCarthyism, and the lives upended in its wake. Discussion also includes:
- Craig finally watched Hal's favorite movie: THE DEVILS;
- Our favorite right-wing moron, Steven Crowder, is still having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day!;
- Good news on Florida's terrible Don't Say Gay Bill;
- We read (and laugh at) Armond White's 2023 Better-Than List.
