When I heard the news I immediately thought of this movie and INVASION OF THE BOY SNATCHERS. I haven’t watched this in ages and have been meaning to revisit it for a while.

I had never seen it before but recalled Steve logging it so it was in my watchlist on Prime. Really good movie. Sutherland as a German spy is p goddamn great. He could do it all. I def wanna revisit Body Snatchers soon. Shockingly one I still don’t own!
