REVIEW: THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD

Hello my scholars! Can't get enough of the California desert? Have you been wondering what else could possibly be lurking in the Salton Sea? Wouldn't you be delighted to know there's a classic 1950s monster movie with the perfect combination of atomic absurdity and realism?



MST3K smarty-pants fanboys might think they know everything about The Monster That Challenged the World, but lemme tell you, they are dead-ass wrong. 'Monster has everything you could want: badass cars, useless children ruining things, very official sounding SCIENTIFIC theories, the dilemmas of being a working mother, the plight of small-town museum owners, and an only slightly Freudian mollusk monster spraying toxic mucus. 

It's streaming, I don't know what you're waiting for.

I'm taking "MST3K smarty-pants fanboys" as a direct shot across my bow. Be warned, it may soon be "on".
