Jack “The Agnostic” Garcia a noted film historian, presents the definitive program on Radioactive Sci-Fi film monsters and mutants of the 1950’s. With the blinding burst of an Atomic mushroom cloud the action would begin and the audience was transported to a desert wasteland , or plunged into the depths of the ocean. Strange giant insects or huge monstrous mutants filled the screen, the horrible by-product of American scientists and their unnatural tampering with the secrets of God and the Atom. These cinematic images from the early Cold War era have stubbornly remained with us , atomic apparitions that are now such an integral part of the Pop culture that the origins of these representations have been seldom examined or investigated – only on GRR.
