Episode 69: Them! - Cinema Oblivia

What this episode covers

When pronouns attack! Them! is a giant monster movie classic. The definitive killer bug flick that holds up better than any of the multitudes that came in its wake. Anthony Abatte and I talk about the flick, how it launched the careers of two boomer TV icons, and briefly go over other giant bug movies that might be worth a watch (there aren't many). This one's for you, dad.
