Them! (1954) Review

Them! (1954) synopsis: “The earliest atomic tests in New Mexico cause common ants to mutate into giant man-eating monsters that threaten civilization.”

Starring: James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn, Joan Weldon, and James Arness
Director: Gordon Douglas

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey breakdown and review the sci-fi classic, Them! (1954)! This is the oldest film the boys have tackled on the show thus far, and it’s a big one. Not just in insect size but in importance, as well! Most film historians consider Them! to be the best example of what the giant-insect-monster sub-genre from the 50s had to offer. So, Corey and Zak figure, if you have to review one it might as well be the best!

Also, in another first for Podcasting After Dark, Zak was able to show his son one of the movies he was reviewing! So, you’ll hear whether or not a movie from 1954 holds up in 2023 in the eyes of a 10yo!
