DEF CON Movie Night 10-9 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers

[sleestak]

In continuing deference to spooky season, this week's DEF CON Movie Night selection is 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'. It's a classic sci-fi horror film from 1978. It's a remake of a 1950s film but it's a shining example of how a remake can reimagine and outshine the original material. Join us 8pm...

Powerful allusions to 'The Odyssey' and a compelling blend of bluegrass and Magical Realism - you will not be disappointed. Meet us on the DEF CON Discord server (discord.gg/defcon)...

Tonight's movie is called 'Monsters' (2010). It's the directorial debut of Gareth Edwards, who has since graduated to directing giant Star Wars films and whatnot. 'Monsters', however, is a triumph of low-budget film-making that you have to see to believe. The budget wouldn't have covered catering on...

For this week's DEF CON Movie Night we're dipping back into the pool of classic Film Noir with the much-loved 'Kansas City Confidential'.

In 1986, there was no Wikipedia. If it had existed, it would have been much easier to learn these details about the extremely odd-looking concept car that plays such a big role in this movie.

The Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor used in the film was originally a pace car built by Chrysler Corp...
