Episode 104: Them! (1954)
Episode description
🎬 Them! (1954) – Random Movie # 3684
This week, we review Them! (1954), Gordon Douglas’s sci-fi horror classic that helped define the “big bug” subgenre of the Atomic Age. James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn, and James Arness star in this thrilling tale of radiation-mutated giant ants wreaking havoc in the American Southwest. As the military scrambles to contain the growing menace, the film explores Cold War anxieties and the unintended consequences of nuclear testing.
🎲 Picked from Metacritic’s all-time movie list. Is Them! a creepy-crawly classic or just a B-movie buzzkill? Listen on to find out!
