This week we're talking about Terror From Beyond The Globe! The Cold War Era brought in a fantastically goofy phase of science fiction horror movies about flying saucers and space men from Mars. In this episode, we talk about this interesting moment in pop culture history along with two of the most iconic films from this era: 1958's Earth Vs the Flying Saucers and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
