We get into contemporary versions of classic B-movie, sci-fi, beer drinking monsters this week. Why is there a sudden interest in producing kitsch 1950s movies featuring low-tech analog machines and masking tape? And if there are aliens why don't they come see Eugene? We are so grateful to our listeners! Thank you!
