Byrd, Matt, and Chris discuss Toho's alien invasion films of the 1950s, the Mysterians and Battle In Outer Space. This pair of films show a huge growth period for Toho's genre films in the early days. They've gone on to become influential classics of the time period. How do these films hold up after 50 years? We will dig into the history, the subtext, the good and the bad of both films. We'll talk about why Battle In Outer Space is actually NOT a sequel to the Mysterians. We'll also talk about the impact that these films had and their lasting influence. Enjoy!
