Episode 178: The Changeling

We continue on our trek through Season 1 of HBO's THE LEFTOVERS and films which intersect thematically with what it has to offer, specifically ghost stories and hauntings.

Our next stop, after reviewing episodes 3 & 4 of THE LEFTOVERS, we invite friend of the show Bill Oberst Jr. back to have a full conversation about Peter Medak's film starring George C. Scott, THE CHANGELING. A classically structured haunted house story, THE CHANGELING quickly yields its narrative to a long hidden mystery, which threatens to undermine an entire empire and reveal some remarkable things about the ways we ourselves reflect on our own personal and national histories. It's a fun and thought-provoking conversation we think you won't want to miss.
