Episode 135- Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

We're taking it back to basics this week with our guest Emily and her pick, the last of the Universal monster films: "Creature from the Black Lagoon" from 1954. Special topics for your consideration include: women in science, interchangeable protagonists, the claw...THE CLAW!, the dangers of the actual Amazon, Jethro Tull and Wikipedia holes. 

Have you seen this one? What are your thoughts on it? Where does it rank for you on the Universal monster continuum? Let us know at facebook.com/werewolfambulance, on Twitter @werebulance or on Instagram @werewolfambulance. You can also email us for our segment "MAILBAG!" at [email protected] and if you're feeling super generous, leave us an iTunes rating and review.  

Did you miss our only other Universal monster episode? Check out Episode 94- "Bride of Frankenstein." We have talked about a lot of other monsters though, such as in Episode 100- "Monster Squad," Episode 114- "Gremlins" and of course, Episode 24- "Grabbers," in which we went on a bit of a vision quest, got super drunk and recorded the episode. Great choice if you like non-sequiturs with a side of slurred speech.
