Episode 095 - The Day of the Triffids (1962)

Vegans. I can’t help but feel they’re hiding something from us. Yes, they’re right that we as a species contribute to the suffering of animals for culinary gain. They’re also correct when they tell us that the land used to raise these animals is taken directly from land desperately needed for rainforests and that as meat eaters (particularly beef eaters) we’re destroying the planet. What I think they’re not telling us though, is that there’s a very real chance that one day Plants will be able to walk around at very slow speeds and will shoot stingers into us that will turn us green. Thank god we have a film like The Day of the Triffids to warn us of this! Papa Joe Fodor joins us this week to discuss the 1962 creature feature!
