ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Joining Andy Plex for his fourth outing is Andy's father - Giovanni Maiorano! To celebrate Giovanni's 80th birthday this summer this father-son duo cover two films Giovanni saw 70 summers ago (1955) in the theater as a double bill - "It Came from Beneath the Sea" and "Creature with the Atom Brain." So put on your hazmat suits and hear Giovanni sharing stories of walking to the movies to see these films in 1955. In the "fallout" of WW2, the dropping of two atom bombs by the USA, and into the Cold War, the 1950s were a strange time. How do these two films reflect the spirit of the age? Why do monster movies capture our imagination? Giovanni Maiorano has and continues to be a massive inspiration for Andy Plex's film education so DO NOT miss this RADIOACTIVE episode!
