    Progress. The wheels of justice. Joe and Jim. Dr. Joseph Javorsky. The greatest narrator of all time. The wife on the road. Some of the best accidently gay photography of all time. And did I mention... Progress? B-movie brilliance.

    Considered to be one of the worst movies ever made. I won't argue there. The narration in it is so bad that it's almost funny.
    Side note, this was Tor Johnson's last movie.

    But that ain't the case.
    Tor Johnson stars as the commu-defecting scientist who gets bombarded with nuclear rays during an A-bomb testing.
    And that's about it.
    He walks aro...( read more)und and mumbles for the rest of the movie.
    THE END.
