The Dudes get blasted with radiation in 1957's The Incredible Shrinking Man! What first seems like a silly tale of nuclear danger turns out to be so much more, tackling philosophical issues about what it means to be human, and how we too often take for granted the small things in life. Great special effects, and a compelling story will leave you talking about this gem long after the credits roll. And you'll never look at your cat the same way!\nOther movies discussed:\nThe Bad and the Beautiful (1952) - Directed by Vincente Minnelli\nBug (2006) - Directed by William Friedkin\nQUESTION OF THE WEEK:\nWhat are your favorite 1950s science fiction films?\n\xa0\nThanks for listening!\nIf you want more Dudes on Movies, check out the links below.
