Arthro-Pod EP 63 THEM! Giant Insects in Cinema



It's a Halloween Spectacular as the Arthro-Pod gang fires up the projector and watches the 1954 sci-fi classic "THEM!" There are giant ants galore in this movie so there's plenty to dissect in regards to ant biology. Plus, a whole host of other spooky content!
