We Love the Love

I Married a Monster from Outer Space


Listen Later

We're finishing our monstrous double-feature with a look at the romance of the 1958 B-movie I Married a Monster from Outer Space!

Join in as we discuss movie marketing, aliens we'd marry, and the movie's surprisingly rich feminist perspective.

Plus: How does this movie compare to The Blob? What are the Andromedans' fake bodies made of? And do they even actually like human women?

Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

Next week: Ronin (1998)
