Here’s this for a movie: a dinosaur is awakened by nuclear testing and rampages through the big city. It’ll be a smash! Nothin’ else like it… Friends, behold the film that roared its way into pop culture’s radioactive kaiju heart, inspiring Godzilla and an entire genre! Not to mention putting Ray Harryhausen and Ray Bradbury on the map – two dino-nerds who changed science fiction forever. Plus, we discuss the Six Degrees of Beast, with its connections to Psycho, Jean Renoir, and the Man with No Name trilogy; then we get into a fight about The Valley of Gwangi. THEN, Peter Lorre returns with the premiere of “The Poverty Row Picture Show”. THEN… whew, it’s too much for words.
