Summary

We continue Sci-Fi July with a look at Jack Arnold’s The Incredible Shrinking Man. Based on the book by, and adapted by, Richard Matheson, the film tells the story of Scott Carey (Grant Williams), a man who goes through a mysterious fog bank on the ocean only to find that it’s caused his body to inexplicably shrink.

John Atom (Heroic Purgatory) and Emily Intravia (Feminine Critique) join Mike to discuss the film and its 1981 remake, The Incredible Shrinking Woman.
