Episode 42 started as a listener suggestion. When Richard said a listener suggested the movie “Them”, Will and Jolyon said “Giant ants? Great, we’re in!” But it was a 2006 French movie about a couple experiencing a home invasion. So why not both? Why not, indeed! It turns out that “THEM!” (1954) is the first of the giant bug movies and probably the best. You get a heroic cop, the Thing, Santa Clause and a really swell dame ready to sock those ants right in the kisser! And Mr. Spock gets in on the action as well! All kidding aside, the casting is amazing and the moral of the story is a poignant one. And there’s an Evel Knievel connection! What about “Ils” (2006)? It’s considered one of the "French extreme” movies, and your host will attest that it is well-made, but in the end, kids are dicks. So, grab your fireplace poker or flamethrower (whichever works for you) and lets’s go hunt down some sewer-dwelling ants. Or kids. Whatever.
