Summary
The Revival League proudly presents an original comedy-horror spoof of Orson Welles’s famous science fiction radio play, “The War of the Worlds.” It’s All Hallows Eve, 1939. Depression-era America goes blissfully about its trick or treating and Halloween parties, or tuning their Philco radios to the Independence Broadcasting Systems to laugh along with, “Clobber McGee & Irish Dave.” But America is startled when a massive alien cylinder slams into the New Jersey countryside, sending the Independence Broadcasting Systems news team scrambling to cover the extraordinary event. Soon cylinders are slamming into cities all over the United States and the world. Inside them are menacing Martian tripods, tall as skyscrapers, and armed with deadly alien technology. The body count rises and the Eastern Seaboard falls before the Martian onslaught, as the world’s combined military might proves not enough to stop the invasion. Humanity itself is threatened with extinction, and a team of earnest news reporters brings Armageddon right into your living room! Written and performed by the Revival League Podcast Gang, “War of the Worlds” promises thrills, chills, laughter… and hollowed out cows. Adult situations and language. Rated NSFW - Not Safe for Work.
