Shrink down for a giant-sized adventure this Saturday, May 23, as Svengoolie presents the 1940 Technicolor marvel DR. CYCLOPS! Follow a group of scientists as they travel deep into the Peruvian jungle, only to be miniaturized by the mad Dr. Thorkel and his terrifying radiation experiments. This film was a pioneer in special effects, showcasing incredible “shrunken human” sequences that still hold a retro charm today. As our tiny heroes navigate a world where a common house cat is a ferocious predator, the Sven Squad will be standing by with their own “micro-sized” puns, fascinating trivia about director Ernest B. Schoedsack, and—of course—a massive barrage of flying rubber chickens. Don’t blink or you’ll miss the fun; tune in to MeTV for a night of jungle peril and classic sci-fi thrills!
