About this episode

The episode reviews the 1953 film adaptation of The War of the Worlds, celebrating its achievements in design and effects.

ALIENS ARE REAL.  I mean, statistically the chances of there being life in an ever expanding universe is pretty much a lock.  And to celebrate that and the return of Steven Spielberg to making an alien movie with Disclosure Day in 2026 we're going to take a look at three adaptations of the War of the Worlds, starting with the 1953 classic.  An absolute astounding achievement in model work, design, alien monster suits, explosions and guys being stoic then running around for a bit.  Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.gl/pQ39jN Help support the show and get early episodes ► https://bigsandwich.co/ Patreon ► https://patreon.com/mrsundaymovies James' Twitter ► http://twitter.com/mrsundaymovies Maso's Twitter ► http://twitter.com/wikipediabrown Patreon ► https://patreon.com/mrsundaymovies T-Shirts/Merch ► https://www.teepublic.com/stores/mr-sunday-movies The Weekly Planet iTunes ► https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-weekly-planet/id718158767?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 The Weekly Planet Direct Download ► https://play.acast.com/s/theweeklyplanet Amazon Affiliate Link ► https://amzn.to/2nc12P4 Hosted on Acast.
