Episode description
What happens when science makes you way too small? This week, we’re diving into accidental shrinking in sci-fi, from the eerie existential crisis of The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957) to the backyard-sized adventure of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989).
Join us as we explore the thrills, fears, and fun of shrinking stories—why they captivate us, what they say about our place in the universe, and why a simple ant can become the scariest movie monster of all.
