from Fifteen Minute Film Fanatics · host Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics
Mike and Dan kick off season 4 with The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957). Mike talks about how we respond to different kinds of characters and how our response to the title character's predicament is dependent on his size; Dan talks about how the film points out how childhood has disappeared from contemporary life. The guys also mention Clash of the Titans, My Left Foot, and what makes what would be a fine Twilight Zone episode a more stirring look at our relationship to the universe.
