Are you your face or what's inside? A man (John Randolph/Rock Hudson) gets a second chance at life in this often-ignored John Frankenheimer film, Seconds, from 1966.

We also discuss Hiroshi Teshigahara's Face of Another (also from 1966) and Suture (1993) from Scott McGehee and David Siegel.

  1. 'Seconds'...about time. Although I think it has more in common with 'The Game' than any of the more literal comparisons you mention.

    1. Joe,

      Agreed! I was going to bring up "Fight Club" as well as "The Game".

      CHEERS!

  2. Wow... Right after listening to this episode I read a completely unrelated article that lists SECONDS as a film booed at Cannes! Never knew that.
