The first true B-movie entry into our randomized journey through the Criterion Collection starts with a mushroom cloud of a bang. \xa0Spencer Gordon Bennett\u2019s The Atomic Submarine (1959) follows the intrepid crew of the US Navy Submarine Tiger Shark as it sails to the North Pole to hunt down a mysterious extra-terrestrial threat. That\u2019s right: it\u2019s U.F.O.\u2019s underwater! \xa0Is this film classic schlock, a long-hidden treasure, or something more sinister and... unnatural?

If you\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Harold Lloyd\u2019s The Kid Brother (1927).
