The War of the Worlds (1953) – Camp Kaiju: Monster Movie Podcast
The Martians are here and they’re out for blood. Or rather, your complete and utter vaporization from the face of the earth. Run to the hills as these invaders withstand everything from A-bombs to bibles. Is there nothing that can stop them? We discuss this and more: special effects wizardry, Cold War thematic underpinnings, its legacy (Mars Attacks and Independence Day anyone?) and the legacy of H.G. Wells’ original novel that continues to challenge our notions of war and conquest. Ah, just a little lighthearted conversation you know?
