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).
