Katharine Coldiron (Junk Film (opens in a new tab)) and Tim Luz (CinemaSpection (opens in a new tab)) join Mike to discuss Phil Tucker's sci-fi classic Robot Monster (1953), a cold war film in which a gorilla with a porthole on his head tries to eliminate the last few hu-mans that remain on Earth after unleashing an army of dinosaurs to wipe out everyone else.

Mike talks with Bob Furmanek President and Founder of the 3-D Film Archive (opens in a new tab) before chatting with Anders Runestad (opens in a new tab) about his book, I Cannot, Yet I Must: The True Story of the Best Bad Monster Movie of All Time Robot Monster.

    In your comments about 3D movies, there wasn't any mention of "Cave of Forgotten Dreams." Herzog believed it was necessary for the truest experience of the cave.

      Gosh, I saw that movie at theaters and don't remember it being in 3-D!
