Episode Details

You're caught in our web with this one! There's no other way to spin it. Spiders fall from space, get really big, and eat people. We're celebrating the movie's 50th anniversary and you should too! And who better to do it with than the director and producer himself, Bill Rebane. Now, as you'll hear, the monster movie gods didn't play nice with our recording... nevertheless, we've stitched something together that we're happy with. Kind of like The Giant Spider Invasion, maybe this episode is so-bad-it’s-good? Let us know. So pour yourself a drink, grab a fly swatter, and enjoy the spider that makes Jaws look like a goldfish!
