And a big thank you to @Taweret for tonight's choice of feature. You couldn't go wrong with giant atomic insects in the 50s.
I wasn't watching this one as intently, but I believe we had no smoking and no coffee.
Death count of several thousand, mostly off-screen.

I really enjoyed that. It was very Bert I. Gordon, very silly, and a whole lot of fun to riff on.
Thanks for all your toots folks.
And as always, thanks @Taweret for organizing!
Till next time!

How come light arms are working against them now?

The grasshopper-ey special effects are chef’s kiss. Almost as believable as 1960s Batman

Fun fact: The budget of this movie was $170,000. You can't buy a single family home most places for that now.
