Show Notes

When nuclear testing unleashes giant monsters on an unsuspecting world, its up to a scientist, a police officer and the FBI to stop global destruction. This week’s episode is the classic giant ant monster film, THEM!

Released only a few months before Gojira released in Japan, listen as we dive into the history of what might be a spiritually related film from across the pacific. This movie is massively influential with multiple giant-bug films to follow it, but also with creature features like Ridley Scott and James Cameron’s Alien series. Explore the colony with Myles and Patrick this week as we prepare to inspect the insects on Kaiju Vs. History.
