Piranha 3DD (2012) w/ Alex Steed (Finale)

It's the last episode (at least till Twisters drops) and Alex Steed (@alexsteed) is here to talk about all the bewbs, b00bs, and boobies of Piranha 3DD. Thank you all for listening! Though it was once a wholesome, family-oriented attraction, a water park owned by Chet (David Koechner) now features a nudist pool and aquatic strippers. Chet's daughter, a marine biologist named Maddy (Danielle Panabaker), is unhappy about the changes but is powerless to stop the grand reopening. However, when a school of ravenous, prehistoric piranha migrate over from nearby Lake Victoria, Maddy must somehow prevent the park's patrons from becoming fish food.

Doomsday (2008) w/ Fangirl Jeanne

Returning guest Fangirl Jeanne (fangirljeanne.com) joins for a mega-discussion about the movie's many action film influences, the curse of daddy issues, and also somehow land invertebrates. When the first outbreak of the Reaper virus hit Scotland, Eden Sinclair was one of the last to escape containment and had to leave her mother behind. Twenty-five years later, Maj. Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) leads a team back into the hot zone to find a counteragent to the virus, which has re-emerged in London. She and her comrades wage a desperate battle for survival against feral survivors, as they try to prevent it from ushering in a new dark age. Remember to RATE, REVIEW, and SHARE!

Daylight (1996) w/ Clay Keller

This week Clay Keller (@claykeller) descends to the depths of the Holland Tunnel to discuss the ultimate Emergency Management movie. A group of armed robbers fleeing the police head for the New Jersey Tunnel and run right into trucks transporting toxic waste. The spectacular explosion that follows results in both ends of the tunnel collapsing and the handful of people who survived the explosion are now in peril. Kit Latura is the only man with the skill and knowledge to lead the band of survivors out of the tunnel before the structure collapses. Remember to RATE, REVIEW, and SHARE!

Deep Impact (1998) w/ Colleen Haggerty

This week we revisit the much-maligned (and misunderstood) "Deep Impact" with Colleen Haggerty (@colleenhagerty) A comet is hurtling toward Earth and could mean the end of all human life. The U.S. government keeps the crisis under wraps, but crack reporter Jenny Lerner (Tea Leoni) uncovers the truth -- forcing U.S. President Beck (Morgan Freeman) to announce his plan. Grizzled astronaut Spurgeon "Fish" Tanner (Robert Duvall) and his team will land on the comet and lay explosives, hopefully deterring the object from its doomsday course. If not, humanity will have to prepare for the worst. Remember to RATE, REVIEW, and SHARE!

Waterworld (1995) w/ Liam O’Donnell

This week Liam O'Donnell (@LiamODin) hops on his trimaran and joins the pod to talk about the big swings and bigger stunts of Waterworld. After the melting of the polar ice caps, most of the globe is underwater. Some humans have survived, and even fewer still, notably the Mariner (Kevin Costner), have adapted to the ocean by developing gills. A loner by nature, the Mariner reluctantly befriends Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and her young companion, Enola (Tina Majorino), as they escape from a hostile artificial island. Soon the sinister Smokers are pursuing them in the belief that Enola holds the key to finding the mythical Dryland. Remember to RATE, REVIEW, and SHARE!

Night of the Comet (1984)w/ Jennifer Prokop

This week Jennifer Prokop (Fated Mates Podcast) joins to talk about the joy of good disaster teens and surviving the comet apocalypse with incredible 80s hair. After a rare comet sighting, teen sisters Regina (Catherine Mary Stewart) and Samantha (Kelli Maroney) find that they're among the only survivors of a zombie attack. The girls partner with another survivor, Hector (Robert Beltran), but as they try to avoid the zombies, they're sought by scientists who want to experiment on their bodies in the hope of finding an antidote. Dodging both the doctors and the undead, they keep moving in the hope that they can continue to stay alive. Remember to RATE, REVIEW, and SHARE!
