Tomorrow on TCM:

This will be a really bad day for anyone who encounters Them! (the giant mutant ants that is). The motion picture, however, is an exhilarating creature feature previously reviewed here. Them! will march on TCM Wednesday, June 18 at 9 am PDT.

Joan Weldon, Nuclear Mutated Ant


TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed by clicking on the above image. To confirm the correct Pacific Daylight (West Coast) showtime information, subtract 3 hours from the Eastern Daylight (East Coast) showtime listed on TCM’s schedule.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
