Invasion of the Body Snatchers Retrospective Episode 4

I never promised you The Rose Garden 

Nicole Kidman wonders if she’ll ever prescribe psychiatric medicine again after space spores start changing her emotionally dysregulated patients into pacifistic Pod People. Can doctors Daniel Craig (Casino Royale) and Jeffrey Wright (TV’s Westworld) pull an all-nighter and find an immunity to this 2007 Invasion before Washington DC succumbs to a body-snatching plant?  And do the Wachowski reshoots inject Matrix energy into the movie after test audiences found the first cut too sleepy? Donate now to hear if this fourth installment sickens the hosts.
