Definitely a favorite when I was a kid too. If you want some more Terror Bird action, check out the music video from Athor & Punisher - Terror Bird

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 everyone, Cheers!

This was also a favorite of mine when I was growing up, both for Harryhausen's genius and for Bernard Herrmann's brilliant score. Acting, not so much.

Just barely started this episode and I already have to leave a comment. A giant monster attack, followed up by said monster being eaten? That sounds like a scene straight out of Dungeon Meshi, aka Delicious in Dungeon. Infact I believe they fight a chicken Basilisk

My dad took me to see this one when it came out. I also thought the bees were amazing. When they were underwater and the camera wandered away from the divers to the giant octopus, it rested on the monster's closed eye, and before the lid raised, it looked to me like a some kind of cave that we would be going down. Funny the stuff you remember! I bought this on dvd last year and it's now in my Harryhausen collection. Thanks for this one - Happy Thanksgiving!

This was the perfect episode for me, Im in New Zealand and I have been invited to my first Thanksgiving AND Mysterious Island was one of my favourite movies growing up. We either had it on VHS or rented it frequently from the video store. The crab fight blew my tiny child mind.

So if Nemo's plan was to make giant animals for food, it begs the question.. WAS that a Terrorbird? Or infact a giant Chicken? ..Terror Chicken perhaps?

It's a Ghost.

The kink line really stood out to me too! I also didn't recognize anyone in the movie, which surprised me, but I did find that Michael Craig (Capt. Harding) looked *totally* like the actor Joe Flanigan, who's best known for playing Major John Sheppard on Stargate Atlantis. I really wondered if he was Joe Flanigan's dad or something. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/joe_flanigan

I loved this movie but I loved another Verne movie even more, Journey to the Center of the Earth from 1959.

Michael Callan was also in the western-comedy Cat Ballou with Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda.

I've not since this or 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. When I was about 14, my 13 year old brother and I went to the cinema to see 20,000 Leagues. It was one evening at the little local cinema in a town near where we lived. Our mum dropped us off and then went home. So we went in, got tickets and took our seats. The cinema was almost deserted except for about half a dozen older lads from our village right down at the front. And then when the movie came on, it wasn't Jules Verne, it was a porno. It was night and we didn't have anywhere else to go, or any way of contacting our parents so we just stayed and watched it. It was very strange, the set was a kitchen without any walls and this plumber turns up to fix the housewife's pipes. Which he does for about an hour or so. I don't really remember much else.

Oh no! Don't read my name! It's cursed!

The comment about the tiny table right after having arrived on the island made me giggle. In the computer game Rimworld (in essence your family Robinson of choice) is stranded on a planet and you’re tasked to make them survive and be happy. Not eating at a table is famously a reason why a family member or two might go on a rampage.

Similar experience to Chad's - I was flipping channels back in the day when such a thing were possible and stumbled across giant stop motion Harryhausen monsters I had never seen before. Immediately stopped to watch, became engrossed, and then when Captain Nemo showed up it blew my tiny little mind! But alas I don't think I've seen it since.

“There’s a reason we haven’t covered Jules Verne on this show—“ Stop! I’ve heard enough! He’s alive! 🤯 I knew it!

The name of this stort immediately brought to my mind an episode of the horror anthology podcast The Magnus Archives- one you've probably heard of, but if you haven't, I'll vouch for it by saying they may have the one man who can match Andrew Leman as a fantastic horror narrator, in Jonathan Simms. The episode had an interesting version of the archetypical "playing cards against Death" plot, similarly from the perspective of a starving soldier; in it, though, the soldier quite *literally* cheats, and gets away with it! Only to find out, in this case, "getting to keep living" meant "taking over as Death until the next schmuck beats you." Again, to any that haven't heard of the Magnus Archives, cannot recommend it enough.
