Turner Classic Movies Drive-In Double Features

I hate hectic work weeks. I was all set to give everyone a nice, advanced alert about Turner Classic Movies' Thursday night lineup of classic, atomic-era monster movies running all month... and then promptly forgot about it. What ended up jogging my memory was turning on the television about an hour ago and coming across the last fifteen minutes of the original 1954 Godzilla. Sigh.


If you’re an insomniac or can record your television programs, you can still check out the remainder of tonight’s line-up, including an early morning (2:45 am- ugh!) showing of Dinosaurus!- the stop-motion dinosaur movie that answers the age-old question: what wins in a fight between a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a steam shovel?
