BONUS: Bikini Beach Party - Village of the Giants

Potential Spoilers

To celebrate the New Year, we decided to release a previously unreleased podcast episode from our archives.

This was the first episode for a "Bikini Beach Party" podcast series, which we ultimately axed in favour of "Potential Spoilers". The podcast would have reviewed a number of movies from the "beach party" film genre from the 60's, a genre that has not stood the test of time.

In this episode, Matty D and Kieran watch 1965's "Village of the Giants", starring Tommy Kirk, Charla Doherty, Beau Bridges, and a very young Ron Howard.

The movie follows a group of teens who eat a goo that turns them into giants, and they use their newfound size to take over a small town, with plenty of dancing and booby rides.
