The Iron Giant is one of the most emotionally resonant children's movies ever created. The adventure of Hogarth and his "metal menace" has made even the mightiest of men cry like itty-bitty-babies (speaking from experience)... but did you know it was based on a book? In this episode we're going to explore the ORIGINAL The Iron Giant story written by Ted Hughes and the truly BIZARRE events that make up its plot!
