The Puppet Masters
Happy New Year! In this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, we watch "The Puppet Masters," an adaptation of a 1951 Robert Heinlein novel that feels aimless in the absence of the original Cold War context. Jamelle and John discuss, among other things, the "Body Snatcher" genre, science fiction as a vehicle for allegory, and the war on drugs.
