Show Notes

The start of a trend of giant human monsters pops up with an atomic blast and a radioactive growing man in 1957’s “The Amazing Colossal Man”. Come along with us when we discover that the real monster was the friends that we made along the way…and also Colonel Glenn Manning.

Discover the history of a cheaply made monster in the form of an actor that chews the scenery in this week’s Kaiju Vs. History!
