Tonight on 'Svengoolie': "Village of the Giants"

Great movie. All your faves.



Gargantuan Gorgeous Gals and Guys Give a Small Town Big Trouble in "Village of the Giants"- Tonight!
Posted on July 11, 2026

Tonight on MeTV- it’s a super-sized summer sensation -as we bring back a sort of “beach party” movie- minus the beach- featuring some MeTV actors, a favorite singer pal of ours, some colossal cuties and super-sized studs- in a crazy sci fi dramedy from the mind of Bert I. Gordon, king of oversized menace movies! It all begins when a familiar–looking boy genius cooks up a formula transferring a small town into BIG trouble by converting it into the “Village of the Giants”!

The story begins when a group of alleged teens (some seem-ahem- a little older than adolescent) suffer a car break-down on the outskirts of a quiet California town- and, after an impromptu dance in a mud pit, decide to go dirty up a local burg- in more ways than one! Meanwhile, in that town, local gal Nancy is flirting with her boyfriend Mike, while her younger brother- nicknamed “Genius” for reasons about to become evident- is concentrating on his scientific experiments. Unfortunately, his latest creation just so happens to explode, producing some pink foam that- when ingested by some ducks and his dog- makes them grow to titanic size!

The semi-juvenile delinquents we saw earlier have arrived in town and broken into a deserted theatre to clean up. They then head to a local dance club (where ‘60s sensations the Beau Brummels happen to be playing)! Nancy and Mike are there as well and having a run-in with these visitors –when the giant ducks created by Genius’ “Goo” show up to astound the teen crowd!

The newly- arrived troublemaker teens get wind of the fact that Mike knows how the birds got so big- and formulate their own “get rich quick” scheme; they’ll find some way to nab the formula, then sell it for big bucks! A random meeting with Genius by one of the female schemers helps them discover where the growth “Goo” is- and they set out to steal it!
