We Love the Love

Them! (1954) (This Whole Thing Smacks of Gender, Part 2)


Listen Later

Our series on pronoun films jumps back to the 1950s for a look at the romance of the 1954 monster classic Them!

Join in as we discuss nuclear fear, ant-shaped spacecraft, failed 3D, and the shamefulness of listening to podcasts.

Plus: What happened to the little girl from the beginning? Who exactly do the ant scientists work for? Why are there so many movies about ants anyway? And, most importantly, do two women ever share the screen in this movie?

Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!
