This week, after an extended spoiler-free conversation about Zach Cregger’s Weapons (2025), Drusilla and Josh discuss Frankenheimer’s wonderful 1966 sci-fi creeper, Seconds. From wiki: “Seconds is a 1966 American science fiction psychological horror[3] film directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Rock Hudson, Salome Jens, and Will Geer.[4] The film tells the story of a middle-aged New York banker who, disillusioned with his life, is contacted by an agency known as "The Company" which specializes in providing "rebirths" under new identities and appearances altered by plastic surgery. The screenplay by Lewis John Carlino is based on the 1963 novel of the same title by David Ely.”

Also discussed: Ezra Fuhrman, Stephen King adaptations, “elevated horror”, and more. 

NEXT WEEK: Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972)
