In this Episode Tom and Bert cover their favorite movies of the 1950's and recap the reasons as to why these are rated as the best of the decade.
From "On the Waterfront" and "12 Angry Men" to "Singing in the Rain" and "Rebel without a Cause" the guys go back and forth with each other discussing the classics.
Tom covers the other side of the coin, The Worst Movies of the decade. Did you ever hear of "The Head"? Probably not but you're very lucky to have missed this bomb. "The Giant Claw" may peak your interest so go to You Tube to watch this stiff and you can decide. Is it really that bad, see for yourself!
The guys then move onto the gimmicks that movie directors and producers used to get the customers to come to the movies. William Castle, the "King" of B Movies, had a plan to lure you in to the theater to see his films and keep you interested.
Movies like "The Tingler", starring Vincent Price, where he rigged the seats to get you to scream. In his movie "Homicidal" he stopped the movie before the final sequence and gave you 1 minute on a clock to leave the theater and get your money back OR stay to the end. The man knew how to suck you in and scare the hell out of you as well.
