The Black Scorpion (1957)

Giant scorpions erupt from the bowels of the earth to disembowel men, women, and children in this big bug B-movie from Willis O'Brien (*ahem* King Kong). You'll marvel at the special effects, laugh at the cheesy one-liners, and wish the annoying little kid would just get eaten already. Plus, more connections to King Kong, MST3K talk, love for Bruce Campbell, updates on GFEST, and an actual listener voicemail! ¡Epa! Bust out the tequila!Thank you for listening!
