Final Picture Show Podcast Ep: 65 War of the Worlds (1953)

from The Final Picture Show Podcast: Where the End times are Alive! · host Matthew Poland

War...what is it good for? Vaporizing all of the humans! Good god! Tonight we visit the frontlines one last time as we look at the OG aliens invade movie War of the Worlds from 1953. We dive into the original casting choices, how formative the sound effects turned out to be, report on the national guard being deployed, and find the time to gush over 50s science fiction films. It is a fun time.
