I was looking for a movie to watch, and saw 'The Monster that Challenged the World' is showing

My very first thought was, 'Someone has already made a film about trump*????? That was fast!'

Ok, then I read the synopsis: '(1960)A Navy commander (Tim Holt) leads a desert search-and-destroy mission for prehistoric sea snails.'

So, if not for the date, I could have been right, anyway.

to make a Citizen Trump movie. It would be devastating.

I remember watching them on Friday night shows hosted by characters like 'The Ghoul' and 'Sir Graves Ghastly'. There were a couple of others whose names escape me, for the moment.

Another example of great minds thinking alike

Here's a trailer dated 1957
