In this episode, we unpack The Manchurian Candidate and its mix of political paranoia, mind control, and early-2000s thriller vibes. We talk standout scenes and the powerhouse performances from Denzel Washington, Liev Schreiber, and Meryl Streep, as well as dream logic, sleeper agents, questionable brain surgery, and whether this one deserves a spot in the DVD box.
