It's a 1940 special effects thriller from the director of King Kong!
On this week's episode of Weirdhouse Cinema, we go small with our first 1940s selection: Ernest B. Schoedsack's Dr Cyclops. We spend a lot of time marveling at the impressive visual effects and discussing the life and work of the director, best known for his 1933 hit King Kong.
The villain is pretty fun in this one: the monomaniacal Dr. Thorkel, played by Albert Dekker. You can listen to the episode below, or find it in the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast stream wherever you get your podcasts.
As for the NEXT episode of Weirdhouse Cinema, we'll be discussing the 1986 Italian cyborg arm-wrestling thriller Hands of Steel. You can find it on YouTube right here.
