Sharknado

Speaker 1 This is Free with Ads, the podcast that asked the question: why pay a cable company 50 bucks a month to watch the weather channel when you can go online for free and watch the greatest weather movie ever made?

Speaker 1 It may not tell you if you need to bring a light jacket, but it does have a guy from 90210 chainsawing his way out of a shark stomach, and that is basically the same thing. I'm Jordan Morris.

Speaker 2 And I'm Emily Fleming.

Speaker 2 Today's movie is Shark Fuckin NATO, the modern camp classic that joins the Big Lebowski, Napoleon Dynamite, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as as a pivotal movie for men who are fun but not funny.

Speaker 1 With us, as always, is the super producer, the he freak, Matt Lieb, hitting us with a tornado of drops.

Speaker 1 My mom always told me Hollywood would kill me.

Speaker 1 Yeah. What fun.
What fun. I know.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Before we all talk about this movie, which is, as of this recording and probably till the end of time, streaming free with ads, we're going to talk about something else we saw for free on the internet this week.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Thank you. I forgot that there's a drop for this.
There's a drop for this.

Speaker 1 There's a drop for everything. There's a drop for that.
Remember when everyone said there's an app for that? Oh, those were the days.

Speaker 1 Dude, you got a Dell.

Speaker 1 I did get a Dell.

Speaker 1 Where's the beef?

Speaker 1 Anyway, it's fun to remember things. Yeah.
So soon we won't be able to. That's true.

Speaker 1 So this is cool. This, this, today's other free stuff comes from a subreddit dedicated to this particular program, r/slash free with ads.

Speaker 1 Now, uh, this requires a little bit of pipe laying, so I will do that now. Oh, lay some pipe, daddy.
Oh,

Speaker 1 not like that.

Speaker 1 I was gonna explain some information. You made it a second.

Speaker 2 May I call you Matthew?

Speaker 1 Yes, you may call me Matthew. Yeah, Matthew David Lee.

Speaker 1 You nasty.

Speaker 1 How dare you? I'm going to lay some pipe and then I'm going to describe some things that happened that led up to this post that we're going to play. I got it.

Speaker 1 Matt, I believe a couple weeks ago, you were absent and we talked about the lineup for the Gathering of the Juggalos. Now, you edited the episode, so you probably heard that.

Speaker 1 I heard that, and I thought, oh, what an episode for me to be absent because I've been to the Gathering of the Jalgalgos.

Speaker 1 Matt's been to the Gathering of the Juggalos, the music festival dedicated to the insane clown posse. That's right.

Speaker 1 Can you briefly, just in a few sentences, tell us what your experience was like?

Speaker 1 Face paint guys

Speaker 1 accidentally didn't show up that year, but it didn't matter because everyone still had fun, and I watched a guy cut his own nipple off for fun.

Speaker 2 Okay. With what?

Speaker 1 I think some sort of knife, something sharp.

Speaker 1 I had to have been a knife. Yeah, yeah.
It wasn't scissors. Yeah,

Speaker 1 it wasn't scissors.

Speaker 2 It couldn't be like a little cool razor blade.

Speaker 1 It was something razor sharp. Okay.
it was between a box cutter and a samurai yes yeah yeah somewhere somewhere

Speaker 1 between there but yeah a lot of fun what if it was teeth so i always like i have never been but always like looking at the lineup sure yes um and we we've discussed the lineup we've discussed the lineup so what what we did is i ran down some of the highlights of the lineup and we talked about what we would see if we were going this year.

Speaker 1 Some of the highlights included Belushi Speedball, Lardy B, Mary Tyler Horse, Thick Chris with two C's, Siamese Goat God, Squid Pisser, Freaky Dupimp, Skeezus, and the Dumpster Babies. I love her.

Speaker 1 And I think the thing Emily and I agreed on is that

Speaker 1 we would not go and miss Lardy B. Hell no.
Can you play a little.

Speaker 1 This is a clown rapper, Lardy B. Can you can you play some of this back? Yeah, absolutely.
Ring on the door, ding dong, ding, dong, the bitch is dead. She owed me red off with her head.

Speaker 1 Ding dong, the wicked bitch is dead.

Speaker 1 Me and my hat.

Speaker 1 I mean, imagine slaps. Imagine.

Speaker 1 Imagine snorting some riddling, cutting off your own nipple, and fucking grooving to this in a pit of mud.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and picking up some doo-doo dollars.

Speaker 1 And picking up doo-doo dollars. Oh, yeah, yeah.
I heard about doo-doo dollars.

Speaker 2 I saw that, and they were like, I saw multiple TikToks about that, and I was like, I want to do, I'm going to do a stitch with those and be like, I will do it. So

Speaker 1 doo-doo dollars are when a juggalo wipes their ass with a dollar and then throws it it on the ground and someone says, oh, a dollar and they pick it up and they realize it's okay.

Speaker 2 I will pick it up. I'm at that point in my life.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 See, they wipe their own ass with it and they crumple it up. Yeah.
And they put it on the ground. Someone picks it up and the joke is they got doo-doo on their hands.
That's right.

Speaker 1 But the person laughing also has doo-doo on their hands. Yes.
And one less dollar. Yes.
And is minus a dollar. They can't use to buy Riddley.

Speaker 2 Listen, the way I will put on some rubber gloves, pick up that doo-doo and then doo-doo dollar and wash it in a sink next to a port-a-potty, and then spend it.

Speaker 1 I don't even think I'd wash it. It would go directly into whatever vending machine is around.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Get yourself some doo-doo-ritos.

Speaker 1 All the snacks have beautiful. I can't wait to see them in the next lineup for the guest drink.
Doo-doo-ritos. I missed doodo-ritos.

Speaker 1 They played at noon, and I couldn't park.

Speaker 1 Okay, so we were talking about this, how much we wanted to see all of these acts. And a free with ads listener who posts on Reddit

Speaker 1 under the name, I'm just a dumb butt,

Speaker 1 went to the gathering, found Lardy B

Speaker 1 and posted this clip.

Speaker 2 Lardy B here. Hi, Emily.

Speaker 1 I just want you to know that you have a great backyard.

Speaker 2 And if you make it to the gathering, I'm going to give you the best fingering story.

Speaker 1 Woo!

Speaker 1 Nice! Lardie B.

Speaker 1 Lardy B herself.

Speaker 2 She's fabulous. This person.

Speaker 1 Is backyard juggalo for

Speaker 1 butt. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think I was discussing that I get a lot of attention for the rack, but not for the backyard.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 2 And so I really appreciate you guys. I think that some people on Reddit were like, you could keep these things to yourself.
You don't have to say them out loud.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, you can, you can say them out loud. You can fuck right off.

Speaker 2 I know. I'm like, you know, if I, if something makes me uncomfortable, you guys, I'll always let you know.
But I think that our fans are, they know, they know how we should know.

Speaker 1 They should know.

Speaker 2 I honestly think we have some of the best fans in the world.

Speaker 1 Oh, I know. I know.
Truly.

Speaker 1 I hope this listener bought a t-shirt or something from Lardi B. I mean, maybe she knows the show and was saying what you're doing.

Speaker 2 He was wearing the worst hat.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. He was.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah.

Speaker 2 He was wearing the worst bucket hat in the photo, which thank you so much.

Speaker 1 Well, thank you to this user. Thank you to Lardi B, wherever you are.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, and he posted stuff from

Speaker 2 some footage of other, if you want to go to the Free With Ads Reddit,

Speaker 2 he posted a video of Squid Pisser, too.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Slash Free With Ads. Yeah, and it was pretty cool.

Speaker 2 Also, if you post stuff onto the Free With Ads Reddit, we love it so much.

Speaker 1 We love it.

Speaker 2 Feel free to post onto the Maximum Fun Reddit, too.

Speaker 1 Guys, cross-post these things. Yeah, let everybody know.

Speaker 2 Put it on the Max Fun, like, like, riddle Max Fun with Juggalo content. We love it.

Speaker 1 Spam them with Juggalo content.

Speaker 2 We put us all over the place on there.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, the Gathering of the Juggalos looks like a lot of fucking fun.

Speaker 2 Maybe next year, you guys. They do have podcasts.

Speaker 1 Actually, I did look into this a little bit, and I have some more information. There is a podcast

Speaker 1 tent?

Speaker 1 I don't know. TARP? A podcast TARP with the Gathering of the Juggalos.
Here are some of the podcasts that recorded from the podcast area.

Speaker 1 Carnival Spirits, Faygo Lover's Heaven, The Rebirth of Mankini TV, Replicon Radio, Team MUJ, Safe Sesh with Amal All Music, Humble Among, Thuggalo Show, Deck One Delt, and Strange Suspicion.

Speaker 1 Now, are we bigger than these shows? Probably not. Yeah.
We are probably huge shows.

Speaker 1 At the very least, first of of all, you got a shout out to ICP for having their own sub-economy in which, like, not only do they have a festival in which they can, like, book themselves, but also other acts that only juggalos know.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And listen to podcasts that only juggalos know.
And they just keep trading the same thousand doo-doo dollars back and forth.

Speaker 1 It's incredible.

Speaker 2 A few in a sense.

Speaker 2 Doo-doo dollars in the mail. No, I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 Sorry.

Speaker 1 Don't mail us. Don't mail us shit.

Speaker 1 Please don't mail a shit.

Speaker 2 Unless it's to your doctor. Apparently, they do that.
No.

Speaker 1 Well, anyway, so, you know, if anybody's out there, they do do that.

Speaker 1 If

Speaker 1 Duncan Turd Eater, the guy who books the podcast tarp.

Speaker 2 No, for real. I'm not kidding.
I know we would be a little, you know, off-brand.

Speaker 1 Matt will cut off his nipple. I'll cut off a nipple.
Matt will cut off a nipple. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'll cut off a turd. Yeah, and Lee will cut a turd.
Cut a turd turd right there. It'll cut off a nipple.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 We'll cut off someone else's nipple. And Jordan will cut a rug.

Speaker 1 Cut a rug.

Speaker 1 Are big bad voodoo daddy going to play the game in this year? I have my hard-souled shoes.

Speaker 1 Vanilla ice was there the year I went. Oh.
No, shit. Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's fucking red.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was pretty cool. We got to go next year.
Anyway, free with ads at maximumfun.org. If you booked the gathering of the juggalos, let us know.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Hey, we're going to talk about Sharknado because it is the final week of Matt. Get the drop ready.
I'm ready. Animals attack August.

Speaker 1 Animals hack August.

Speaker 1 Okay, we did a snake movie. We did an alligator movie.
We did a wolf movie. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, when we were talking about what to do next, I'm like, guys, we got to do shark. We got to do shark.
Emily, without missing a beat, you're like, native

Speaker 1 one.

Speaker 1 What is your relationship with this multi-film franchise?

Speaker 2 Okay, well, I forget the

Speaker 2 production company that makes these.

Speaker 1 It's asylum.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so asylum, which,

Speaker 2 okay, so we all come to Hollywood dreaming of like, you know, big-time stardom and stuff.

Speaker 1 Sure. Sure do dream.

Speaker 2 I have always thought that I want to do, I've never been in a movie, okay? Which I think is insane.

Speaker 1 That's a crime. I know.
You should be in a movie. Have you been in a movie?

Speaker 1 Not in like a studio film, but I was in my friend's independent zombie movie. Whoa, really? Are you a zombie in it? Well, eventually.

Speaker 1 Cool. What's it called? The beginning.

Speaker 1 Can we watch it? Is it free anywhere? I bet it's somewhere. Fuck yeah.

Speaker 1 Can we do a live, a live stream while we watch it? It's not bad.

Speaker 2 And make Matt cringe.

Speaker 1 My friend did cast himself as the lead in the movie.

Speaker 1 But it's. Your friend's John Krasinski.
That's right.

Speaker 1 Good friend John Krasinski. He's my great, great friend John.

Speaker 1 But yeah, it was, but no, I've never been in like a movie movie.

Speaker 1 Not that that wasn't a movie, Devin Fern, if you're listening. That was a movie.
Right, right. But I'm saying I've never been in a movie in which

Speaker 1 budget that was big enough to afford craft services was awesome.

Speaker 2 Right, right. What about you, Jordan?

Speaker 1 I've had a few lines in movies.

Speaker 1 I am in a very bad Sandra Bullock movie called All About Steve.

Speaker 1 Oh, I still gotta know this.

Speaker 1 It's a really bad movie. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I have a couple lines and I still get like a $5 residual check from it every couple times.

Speaker 2 Why aren't we doing? We gotta watch this movie now.

Speaker 1 Oh, sure, yeah.

Speaker 1 It won't be fun.

Speaker 1 It's not that bad. It has like a weird, it's like a comedy that doesn't work and it has some wacko charm to it.

Speaker 1 And it's like, it's a... It's a crazy thing for Sandra Bullock to have done.

Speaker 2 She had a minute, but let's see.

Speaker 1 I am a bartender in a movie called You're Not You that I've never seen where I believe Hillary Swank gets

Speaker 1 MS

Speaker 1 anyway. No.
And a real bummer.

Speaker 2 You gave it to her.

Speaker 1 That's true. With your bad bartending.
My bad drinks.

Speaker 1 And I get killed in a horror movie, an anthology horror movie called The ABCs of Death 2. Oh, I love it.
And I think I'm pretty good in it. Oh, I think I'm pretty good at it.
Oh, we gotta watch it.

Speaker 1 We gotta watch all these. Yeah, the ABCs of Death 2 is really neat.

Speaker 2 So I've always fantasized about being in an asylum movie.

Speaker 2 Also, this was like, I think asylum has often been associated with sci-fi channel.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so they crank out all these low-budget, usually shark movies, but also they do like the Transmorphers. Yeah.
You know, they do like stuff that knocks off other stuff.

Speaker 1 So like, you know, Eric Roberts is in most of them. And yeah, you're right, Emily, these became very popular on the sci-fi network.
Yes. And now they're kind of all over the place.
But

Speaker 1 this is kind of where this aired originally.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I guess that to me, I like the idea of a life after

Speaker 2 crazy stardom for some of these actors because that is not a sustainable career. The idea of being like a teen star

Speaker 2 doesn't always lead to, you know, winning an Oscar.

Speaker 1 But does that mean you shouldn't still work and have a nice career?

Speaker 1 You need work still. And it's like there's these studios that make schlock.

Speaker 1 But that's a paycheck.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So I've always craft service? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Hell yeah. And I've always wanted to do these type of movies, but I've never been a big star.
So it's like I don't get to go the avenue of these.

Speaker 2 But there are plenty of actors in Sharknado that I don't recognize from anywhere. That's most of them.
And they did a fantastic job.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 there's some people who know that they're in Sharknado. Some who don't.
Some do not seem to realize they're in Sharknado.

Speaker 2 We've talked about this with like Street Fighter, where we're like, some people know what movie they're in and some people just kind of don't.

Speaker 2 But I just think it's cool that these people are just making something entertaining and crazy and fun.

Speaker 1 Yeah, totally.

Speaker 2 And semi-ambitious.

Speaker 1 And yeah, and there's an element of this movie of like, let's put on a show.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 we'll get into it. But there's so many like stolen shots in this movie and places where they were probably shooting shooting without a permit.

Speaker 1 So it does seem like, you know, it's a real like, and I'm sure it was written and shot over a long weekend. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 But yeah, let's, well, let's actually talk about this. Let's do it.

Speaker 2 But yeah, I've never seen it all the way up.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice. So I went to a Shark Nado party back in the day and like when it came on sci-fi.
So I like saw it while people were drinking and stuff. This is my first time sitting down just watching it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, for sure, for sure. And I've never seen any of the sequels.
There are five or six of them. Crazy.
Hell yeah.

Speaker 2 This should be a Tremors crossover, I think. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, that would be a good idea. Tremors NATO.
Yeah. Shark Edition.
Sure.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 Shark Nado versus Tremor's Acane.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. Killer.
That would be good. Anyway, so Shark Nado starts with a bunch of sharks getting swept up in a tornado.
I'm like, all right, the movie started. Sure starts.
Yeah, it really does.

Speaker 1 It's kind of crazy because I was like, oh, not like a slate. No.
You know, not like a silent. Yeah, like the original shot is just sharks getting swept up in a a tornado.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They say have your inciting incident on page three, but this was word one. Yeah.
Nice. I love it.
It's like the cover hand. It's around, basically.

Speaker 1 The cover of the script was just a drawing of a shark nado. This happens.

Speaker 1 We'll get someone from 90210, they wrote.

Speaker 1 So yeah, these sharks get swept up in a tornado.

Speaker 2 Someone they did.

Speaker 1 They did get someone who was on that show.

Speaker 1 You have, then you have some illegal shark fishers who are about to get their comeuppance. Uh, one of these guys is wearing like a 50s biker hat, something Marlon Brando might wear in the 50s.

Speaker 1 I think that's the worst hat. Oh,

Speaker 1 there it is. The worst hat.
Hell yeah. So he's, you know,

Speaker 1 selling shark fin soup, and then the sharks come and kill them all. Isn't that ironic?

Speaker 1 Anyway.

Speaker 1 Weird how much that has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. It does not come with that.

Speaker 1 Which was strange because I actually was kind of interested in like, okay, so there we got some people eating shark fin soup and like illegal fishermen. Yep.
There's like a story there. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Are the sharks angry?

Speaker 1 Are they in cahoots? Are they

Speaker 1 mutants? Is there a reason? And you kind of expect that with that opening. Turns out that opening is the opening to a whole other movie they didn't make.

Speaker 1 And instead, it's, I mean, and that's just a great opening scene because so much happens in it. At one point, the guy, he like he negotiates for more money.

Speaker 1 Uh, and then the guy like agrees to it because he's got a gun, and then he steals the money and he goes, Now I have the sharks and the money.

Speaker 1 And I was like, This is this is incredible because that other guy also has a gun and shoots him immediately. It made no sense, and it was beautiful.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and how are you going to get the sharks back anyway?

Speaker 1 They're on this guy's boat anyway, whatever. I mean, everyone on here dies immediately, so like no use, no reason to try and figure out what was actually going on.
Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 1 And then we go to the beach. We got rock and music, we got babes, and we have surfing and a lot of JCPenney's signage.
Sure. I'm like, did JCPenney sponsor this movie?

Speaker 1 And I think they just were shooting on the beach and there was, I can't believe it.

Speaker 2 There is no way JCPenney can sponsor anything.

Speaker 1 But possibly Sharknado. Like, if anyone could afford it.

Speaker 2 They can't even untangle the wad of necklaces behind their jewelry counter.

Speaker 1 I don't think they can make Or empty their empty storefronts that are everywhere. Well, listen.
Or get someone to go into a JCPenney.

Speaker 2 Okay, can I tell you, in Batesville, I do too, but in Batesville, Arkansas, where I went to college, we had a Kroger and a JCPenney and a Walmart. That was about it.

Speaker 2 But I would try to go into JCPenney and be like, I'm not going to just buy my clothes at Walmart.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah, I'm fancy.

Speaker 2 I'm going to go to JCPenney. And then I was like, this is a fucking chaotic nightmare.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. All bad.
We're also getting the credits. The writer of this name is Thunder Levin.

Speaker 1 No. That's, I mean, about as good as the guy who directed Roadhouse.
His name is Rowdy Harrington. Yep.
Damn it.

Speaker 2 If their names were reversed, I would pop a hole in a condom and make sure I could marry them.

Speaker 1 Sure, so

Speaker 1 you could be

Speaker 1 rowdy Fleming. Rowdy Fleming.

Speaker 1 You would take his first name as your last name. Yes, exactly.
His first name is your first name.

Speaker 2 Emily Thunder or Emily Rowdy.

Speaker 1 We're going rowdy on this one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 And we have our lead, Ian or Ian Zeering.

Speaker 2 If you nasty.

Speaker 1 If you nasty. Ian if you're nasty.

Speaker 1 He's a surfer dude with his buddy Baz. He still has some hair.
Good for him. He still has some hair.
He's got his buddy Baz who always seems drunk.

Speaker 1 And because it's an acting choice, I think the actor just seems drunk.

Speaker 2 Also, he is the dad from Home Alone.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, no. So that's a drink.
Oh, wait, which drunk guy? So he is playing a drunk. That is the dad from Home Alone.
His buddy Baz is the guy on the jet ski. Who gets bit.

Speaker 1 I think he is not supposed to be a drunk. I think the actor was just drunk on set.
That's my theory.

Speaker 2 Yeah, because they couldn't figure out if he was Australian or British.

Speaker 1 He's Tasmanian. Baz is from Tasmania.

Speaker 1 He mentions it at one point, which I was like. Copy.
This is useful. Yes.
Baz cannot nail a joke. I mean, not that.
Anybody here really nails any of the jokes. Baz really can't.

Speaker 1 Baz really cannot nail it. Got it, got it.

Speaker 1 So something in this beach scene that will recur throughout the movie. So they use a lot of stock footage, right? They're shooting the actors and then just going to stock footage.

Speaker 1 The stock footage all is different times of day. So

Speaker 1 you'll shoot the actors who look like it's noon, and then you will go to a wave crashing that looks like 5 p.m.

Speaker 1 It makes you feel insane. There is just some like bad filmmaking stuff in this where you're like, I feel crazy watching the day change to night, change to afternoon so rapidly in front of my face.

Speaker 1 Very crazy.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, a lot of stuff like that happens. If you think that's crazy, wait till you get a load of the sharknado.
Sure.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you don't like there being rain in one shot and then not rain in the other shot, you're gonna see a tornado made of sharks.

Speaker 2 Oh my god, I think about this all the time. Like, if you don't look good wet,

Speaker 2 you can't be in these movies.

Speaker 1 I look horrible wet. Same, same.
Could you imagine? I'm a bad wet man.

Speaker 2 You know, you're beautiful.

Speaker 1 What? A bad wetman.

Speaker 1 Do I stutter? That's you directed Roadhouse. Yeah, you're bad, bad wetman.
Yeah, I'm bad wetman.

Speaker 1 They could not get Rowdy Harrington. They call it Bad Wetman.
Of the Connecticut Wetman?

Speaker 1 Maybe summer in Connecticut, yeah. Summer.

Speaker 1 On the Cape. But it's true.

Speaker 2 You know that someone is beautiful when they can look beautiful wet. And so

Speaker 2 shout out to Tara Reed.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 She looks good.

Speaker 1 She's a good, good wet girl.

Speaker 1 Good wet girl. Bad wet men.
There's good girls. There's good wet girls.
That's right. Hey, we got another babe in this movie, not just Tara Reed.
It is Nova. She works at a beachside bar.

Speaker 1 Looks like fun. And that looks like a lot of fun.
This bar looks great.

Speaker 1 Owned by the I and Zeering character, a former professional surfer. We didn't mention this, his name.
Get this.

Speaker 1 Are you ready now? The shark movie. The guy's name is Finn!

Speaker 1 Tyler!

Speaker 1 So really funny. Incredible.
That's really funny.

Speaker 1 When that happens, you learn that that his name is Finn. Finn.
Like Dorsal. Like Dorsal.
Oh.

Speaker 1 You know what? Or Huckleberry. Or sure.
I got to say. Probably not the pun they're trying to make, but yeah, I think it's that is another famous.
There's a lot of Finns. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Guy from Finland, also a Finn. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Finn, end of movie.
Who's your, who's your, yeah, that happened. Which is a joke they do.

Speaker 1 Oh, we'll get all this there. Wow.

Speaker 1 Stop it. So, Nova, she works at the bar and has a scar on her leg everyone talks about all the time.
You know how people always bring up your scars when they don't know anyway.

Speaker 2 I've got a big scar on my leg and no one gives a shit.

Speaker 1 People aren't always asking you about it, and when you don't talk about it, they're not weird and rude to you.

Speaker 1 Jesus.

Speaker 2 It kind of looked like gills. And I was hoping that she had some leg gills.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 That would have been fun reveals.

Speaker 1 Might as well. Maybe in Sharknado 8 or whatever, they'll reveal that they're all Merpes.

Speaker 2 That's the Star World pussy gills.

Speaker 1 Baby, do those gills go all the way up?

Speaker 1 And Nova's, Nova, I think, is good in this. I think she is one of the people who is like, I understand Sharknado.
I'm going to do the performance.

Speaker 2 And she's an actor that I don't recognize, but I'm sure she's done other things. Yeah.
She's fantastic. She is really good.

Speaker 1 She totally gets this and it's a lot of fun. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So we learn via the news that is always on all the time everywhere.

Speaker 1 That's how Story Go Forward.

Speaker 1 Story Go Forward, watch news. Watch news.
Watch news. You can know what the story is.

Speaker 1 Watch news. Do what news says.
Turn on news. See where to go next.

Speaker 1 Cool.

Speaker 1 Terra Reach House. The news is saying to go to Terra Reach House.
Thank God for news. I love news.

Speaker 1 So the news is saying that there's a crazy tornado coming because of global warming. Sharknado, weirdly the second movie we've watched this month that has good politics.
Good politics.

Speaker 2 Well, there are some people in the movie who say that it's the government running the weather.

Speaker 1 Sure, sure, sure. But, you know.
For the most part, it seems like the news is right.

Speaker 1 But you're right. It could be.

Speaker 2 Could be the guy in the hardware store.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, yeah,

Speaker 1 that's the closest.

Speaker 1 And that's all the explanation we get for the sharknado. No one ever tries to

Speaker 1 global warming. What do you need? It's like needing explanation for the end of Magnolia.
Sure. Yeah.
The frogs fall from the sky. What do you want? Yeah.
What do you want?

Speaker 1 What did

Speaker 1 Bill Murray say to Scarlett Johansson at the end of Lost of Transition? No need to know. I know what she said.
He said, sharknado. It's global warming.

Speaker 1 That's why the sharknado happened. Hey, little mama, let me listen in your ear.

Speaker 1 Oh, is that what he said? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So Finn decides that he's going to go get his wife and kid, his wife and daughter,

Speaker 1 his ex-wife, excuse me, his ex-wife and daughter. And like, everybody in the bar just comes with him.
Nova goes. The dad from Home Alone goes, who is like the drunk, who's great harassing Nova.

Speaker 1 He is fun. Yeah.
John Hurd is his name.

Speaker 2 John Hurd is.

Speaker 1 R.I.P. R.I.P.
died in 2017. Yeah.
Great actor. He was in the Sopranos.
Oh, yeah. He was great in that.

Speaker 2 Not as tall as I thought he was going to be.

Speaker 1 No, not the tallest guy. Oh, probably.
Indian's earring. Probably the tallest guy.
Yeah, for sure. All right.
We're going to go with him. Yeah.
Let's do the thing. Okay, fine.
Tallest guy.

Speaker 1 Or the shark NATO. Yeah, one of the sharks, I'm sure.
No, the NATO.

Speaker 1 A guy. Is Is the NATO?

Speaker 1 I don't think so.

Speaker 2 What is a woman but a storm?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 What is a man but a shark NATO?

Speaker 1 Thank you. Yes.
T.S. Elliott said that.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Snappity Snap.

Speaker 1 Snapparoo.

Speaker 1 So, okay, so they go over to Tara Reed's house, who has a, there's not a lot of art

Speaker 1 in the house. There's just a framed headshot of Tara Reed on the wall.

Speaker 1 Because I'm sure just the art director, they told them, like, we have the corner of this house where they're shooting porn in the other room, make it look like her house, and they just printed out her headshot and taped it up on the wall.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, and we need a bunch of trophies. I love she has a trophy case at one point.
Oh, I didn't notice that. Yeah, I just noticed her own headshot

Speaker 1 near her stairs. How's it going to know it's hers? Yeah, there she is.
It's her house.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, so Tara Reed is just like being mean to Iran Zeering because of their

Speaker 1 come in there

Speaker 1 but then a shark bursts through the window and Nova kills it with a pool cue yeah and then

Speaker 1 yeah so the sharknado is like going crazy all these sharks are breaking into Tara Reed's house

Speaker 1 wait a minute I got a question sure how well do you think you do like what skills do you bring to the table in a sharknado well swimming for sure right yeah you know yeah I'm a pretty strong swimmer

Speaker 2 so I could like swim maybe swim up to people and help them out of cars yeah oh that'd be nice um yeah anyway well i think i've watched a lot of videos where you're supposed to like punch them in the nose right yeah yeah yeah or like stick your fingies in the gills you guys have shark survival skills

Speaker 1 i've watched the videos ooh put the fingers in the gills fingering story oh there it is sure yeah what are the gills what the pussy you breathe from

Speaker 1 um oh tarot read also has this like jerk boyfriend there yeah lasts about maybe 60 seconds. Yeah, this guy gets killed and his legs get ripped off.
And like the practical gore in this is really fun.

Speaker 1 Like this movie starts to be fun when this shit happens, when people are just like dying in crazy ways. Also, when he dies and his legs get ripped off, we see his headshot float by.

Speaker 1 So they also printed out this guy's headshot and framed it to put up on the house to prove it was their house.

Speaker 2 You got some budget right there. Do you remember having to get your headshots printed out?

Speaker 1 I know, yeah. That was hot.

Speaker 1 You ever had to refill a color printer? Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 I never printed out a headshot. What?

Speaker 1 I took a few, but then I would just like put them on Facebook and be like, oh, what do you want from me? I know. You give me the job in that.
They're making your zombie movie. They put me in the mood.

Speaker 2 I cannot believe they used to make us print those out.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Those are the days.

Speaker 1 So they all, everybody like piles in the car. They're watching the news on a little portable TV.
I'm like, just turn on the radio. Why does this kid have to have a

Speaker 1 musical TV?

Speaker 2 It's for us.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But okay, yeah, anyway. You're right.

Speaker 1 I was mad at the portable TV. I understand.
If you're mad about the portable TV, you're going to get really mad when you see the shark.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 so, you know, they're driving around just like looking for survivors.

Speaker 1 Here's a little, I forget who's doing this back and forth, but I just wrote down this exchange. Someone's like, just my luck.
Sharks. Someone says, my luck too.

Speaker 1 And then someone else says, my luck too.

Speaker 1 That's the dialogue in

Speaker 2 everyone's luck.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's not happening to one person.

Speaker 1 Oh, shark NATO today. And I'm like, well, yeah, anyway.

Speaker 2 Well, I guess because Nova has some like tragic backstory, which I'm going to be real, boo-hoo, bitch.

Speaker 1 You're not getting any sympathy from me, bitch.

Speaker 1 Bitch.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, Scars. Shut up.

Speaker 1 You had a great server job. Yeah, you got a great job.
Yeah, as soon as she was. On the Santa Monica beer.

Speaker 2 She was like, I don't want to talk about my scars on my leg. And I'm like, bitch, we're all cutters in the 90s.
Like, what is your deal? And then she's like, a shark did it. And I was like, pussy.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You weren't even depressed. Yeah.
I guess it could have been both. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 they come upon some kids who are stuck in a bus, and they do a thing where they like. By the way,

Speaker 1 it's raining in the last shot. And when they find the kids on the bus,

Speaker 1 it is 100 degrees outside outside and not raining.

Speaker 1 Also, it's like no water on the ground and then water with a shark swimming around. And yeah, this feels to me like something they weren't supposed to be shooting.

Speaker 1 And they're like, okay, go, we have the bridge.

Speaker 1 And so they rappel down to get these kids. And when they put the kids on the rope, the kids magically transform into clearly adult stunt performers.
These are, of course, the oldest teens.

Speaker 1 Oldest teens. Yeah, like Ian Ziring will like pick up the kid and put the kid out of frame.
And then when they're on the rope, they are two feet taller and different genders.

Speaker 1 So yeah, it's really, really crazy.

Speaker 1 There's a bus driver. He kind of looks like the comic book guy from The Simpsons.

Speaker 1 He's the one who you heard in Matt's drop going.

Speaker 1 My parents always said Hollywood would kill me.

Speaker 2 Honestly, is this guy, he looks so familiar, but what a great part.

Speaker 1 This guy had, is this the writer energy to me? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I wonder if this is the guy who wrote it or like the director or something.

Speaker 2 Well, he just

Speaker 2 reminds me of a lot of character actors who they were like, we want this type, this type, this type.

Speaker 2 But I'm glad he died the way he did because if he died trying to come up from the school bus, that would have been a bummer.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So he makes it up to the top of the bridge and then he's like celebrating.
He's like, oh, my parents said Hollywood would kill me. And then a big just piece of debris falls on him.

Speaker 1 That's pretty fun. He's like in the middle of the frame, so you know it's going to happen.
But, you know.

Speaker 1 But yeah, that's pretty fun.

Speaker 1 They steal a Humvee and like run away from the cops. There's a Nitrous button just like in the Fast and Furious.

Speaker 2 What year did this come out?

Speaker 1 2013. 2013.
Thank you. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Hummers were like a big thing right after 9-11.

Speaker 1 Cool hummers.

Speaker 1 So yeah, this was supposed to be a cool, like, whoa, I can't believe they got a

Speaker 1 Humvee.

Speaker 2 There was when I went to college in Arkansas in like 2004, and, you know, post-9-11, Hummers became a whole thing because we were all going to be in the military

Speaker 1 anyway so there was my sorority sister had the biggest bumpet i'd ever you remember bumpets no it's like a thing where like you'd have a poof on the top of your head oh there's like an as seen on tv like loop that you bought.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's a little comb with a giant foam thing that you put your like

Speaker 1 I do remember. It'd be a big poof.

Speaker 2 So it's basically like a beehive just on the top. Right.

Speaker 1 And then everyone's like, like a top button that, that, uh, like it's like a whole titty on the top of your head and then nowhere else.

Speaker 2 This girl, crazy titty on the top of the head, pink Hummer.

Speaker 1 Pink Hummer, of course.

Speaker 2 Pink Hummer in Dry County, Batesville, Arkansas.

Speaker 1 Wild. Anyway.

Speaker 1 Pink Hummer. So they go to the airport where Ian Zeering also has a son that he's never mentioned.
This really seems like the movie just being written sequentially.

Speaker 1 Yeah, where no one is going back and rewriting it. Like, just mention the son.
No, he's just like, well, I have another son.

Speaker 2 We need someone else for Ian Zering, for Nova to have a crush on.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Because clearly Tara Reed and Ian Zeering need to end up together.

Speaker 1 Sure, right. Of course.
That's what we all want. The two 90s icons.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So yeah, the son and yeah, Nova are just like into each other immediately. His name's Matt.
His name. Hey, there you go.
Hey, that's fun. That's my name.
The worst Matt. The worst Matt.

Speaker 1 Great Sting. Great Sting.
Everybody's favorite Sting.

Speaker 1 So he, again, is just like bullying her about talking about the scars like you would do. He's like, why don't you talk about them? It's like, you've known her for five fucking minutes.

Speaker 1 I don't like talking about it.

Speaker 1 And so she tells her story about how she was like stranded in a life raft and sharks ate everybody, including her grandpa. And she's like, six people went into the water, and one little girl came out.

Speaker 1 It's like the closest to acting beginning in the movie. It's like almost acting.

Speaker 1 And you got to respect someone like giving it their all for Sharknado. Yeah.
You know, because they're just like, listen,

Speaker 1 I don't care what I'm in. If it's a Hallmark commercial,

Speaker 1 I'm going to act my ass off.

Speaker 2 Oh, she sold it.

Speaker 1 She sold it. But also, grandpa, not dad.

Speaker 1 Yeah, weird choice.

Speaker 2 Higher stakes, higher stakes. Say it was your dad.

Speaker 1 Maybe we're meeting dad in Sharknado 5 or something. Maybe they had this plan.
Yeah, they did not have this plan.

Speaker 2 No, but I mean, like, kill the dad, bring the granddad for the next one. So mommy can get wet, if you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 I think so.

Speaker 1 I think I know.

Speaker 1 Sexual.

Speaker 1 Oh, so like the

Speaker 1 okay, so people

Speaker 1 mess up their dialogue in this movie, and it's not, it's not edited out, or they don't re-dub it. There's a part where the um bus driver is saying, I used to hate heights, now I'm away from sharks.

Speaker 1 That happens a couple times where someone says a line wrong, but it's in the movie. Right.
That's

Speaker 1 so the first time I watched this movie was like at a party, right? Where we're all socializing, we're goofing on the movie, and now I'm just watching it alone in my house, and it made me feel insane.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, like, yeah.
These words don't make sense. What time of day is it?

Speaker 2 Yeah, this movie is not a sit-down to watch it.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. Yes.

Speaker 2 This is a pace back and forth, like slap yourself in the face a few times.

Speaker 1 Sure, yes.

Speaker 1 Crazy thing to just sit and watch alone.

Speaker 2 Hold your arms in front of you.

Speaker 1 It's written in a way where it like expects people to be talking during it. Yes.
Which is a weird flex. Someone will be making margaritas while this is on.

Speaker 1 But that's like a crazy flex to be able to still make a movie. Totally.
You know, and just be like, yeah, no, but they won't be watching it. It'll get made.
Yeah. They won't be watching this part.

Speaker 1 Don't worry. Just say whatever.
Yeah. So Ian Zeering's son, who we're just learning about, is a chopper pilot.

Speaker 1 He takes Nova up in the chopper.

Speaker 1 Plan is to throw homemade bombs into the shark movie. Oh my gosh.
Which is kind of the plot of Twister 1.

Speaker 1 Is it?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. They like, like, we'll stop it with these bombs.
Yeah, I mean, but that's also sort of the plot of Twister 1. And is it also Twisters?

Speaker 1 They have these, like, these little mines they set, and when the tornado sucks it up,

Speaker 1 it kills the tornado. In Twister, it makes sense because they're like, oh, this will suck up these things that are stationary, and they'll fly into it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And this, he's like, let's take a helicopter into a tornado. I know.
Which is like, because you guys, I don't know know if you guys seen a helicopter, but wind

Speaker 2 is a factor. I think Kobe Bryant would agree.

Speaker 1 I think so, too.

Speaker 1 I think he would if he could.

Speaker 1 He was killed by a sharknado. He flew too close to the shark.

Speaker 2 My favorite thing was like the conversation between Tara Reed, Ian Zering, and their son when he's like, you can't do it. You can't go up there and do that.
And she's like, what?

Speaker 2 And he goes, he's going to throw a bomb into the tornado. No.
And then Anzearing goes, wait a minute, hear him out.

Speaker 1 Hold on.

Speaker 2 As soon as a woman says no, he goes, well, now I'm into it.

Speaker 1 All right. Go

Speaker 1 tell the man what he can't do. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 Out of spite for the school marm over here, I'm going to let him speak a little more on this harebrain scheme.

Speaker 1 And being the worst dad in the world, he lets him do it. Let's him do it.

Speaker 1 And the worst boss in the world because he lets him take Nova. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he has a daughter, but...

Speaker 1 Who also hates him because he's like, why do you love Matt so much? You let him fly a helicopter and

Speaker 1 because the movie clearly loves him so much, you don't even know who the fuck you are, daughter. You've just been an asshole this whole time.
Yeah, go be in the gray, you'll matter more.

Speaker 1 That's be a photo some guy has in his wallet. Exactly.
Pose for a wallet photo.

Speaker 1 Nova at some point says we're gonna need a bigger chopper. The fucking

Speaker 1 falls to reference Jaws. I know.
Falls to say, like, remind people that Jaws exists. No, they'll turn the movie off.

Speaker 2 Wait, there was a song in this that I was positive you were going to talk about, and it was the weather says it's going to be a storm or something like that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 God, I thought you were going to put it in here.

Speaker 1 It's like a Tom Petty sounding song. Yes, it's that one.
And it has real

Speaker 1 the director's friends bands. 100%.

Speaker 1 My friend can write it.

Speaker 2 Honestly, if I ever made a movie, I would definitely be like, hey, dad, is there anything?

Speaker 1 Because your dad is a Graham. He has a Graham.
This guy wrote this thing.

Speaker 2 I know, but they're not going to give me their best songs.

Speaker 1 True, true, true. true.

Speaker 2 It's going to be like, we like whiskey on Tuesdays.

Speaker 1 I don't hate that. It's their Tuesday whiskey.

Speaker 1 Tuesday whiskey.

Speaker 1 Get Shabuzzi to sing that. You got a hit.

Speaker 1 Get Shabuzi. Who's that? Anyway.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 They're in the so her, he and him and Nova are in the chopper.

Speaker 1 They're both jiggling, but different amounts. They can't decide.
They have not agreed on how jiggly the chopper is.

Speaker 1 He is going,

Speaker 1 and she's just sitting perfectly still.

Speaker 1 She is totally chill about it.

Speaker 1 Better.

Speaker 1 So, okay, the shark nado is about to get blown up. We're going to talk about it after we come back.

Speaker 1 Ready, go. Knock, knock.
Who's there? We got this. With Mark and Hal? Fuck, you knew knew this one.

Speaker 1 We can't put that out as an ad.

Speaker 1 We just did new episodes every week on maximumfun.org or wherever you get your podcast. Now it's Hewn in Rock.
Hewn in Rock?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 How do you hew something in rock? With a chisel. There's only one hew in rock, and it's Huey Lewis.

Speaker 1 And the news is, we got this with Mark and Howell. It's available every week on maximumfun.org.
I walked right into that.

Speaker 1 We're back. It's free with ads.
We're talking about the exciting conclusion of Sharknado.

Speaker 1 Okay, the plan is to throw a bomb into the Sharknado out of a helicopter.

Speaker 1 Nova's throwing bombs, but she falls out and gets

Speaker 1 eaten by a shark. Swallowed whole.
Yes, swallowed whole by a shark. These sharks, by the way, are just swallowing people whole at this point.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And honestly, they look innocent to me. The sharks just look like they're existing and they just happen to like, people fall into their mouth.
And they're just like, I'm just.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know. It's not this.
This is not the sharks.

Speaker 2 Honestly, the sharks are in the tornado and they're probably going, ah!

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 if you get hit with anything out of a tornado, you'll die. It doesn't have to be a shark.
Right, yeah. And you see them, it's like the way a shark is built, like the physiogamy of a shark is not.

Speaker 1 What did you say? Well, like the physical

Speaker 1 physiogamy, yeah, I know, sure. Like, a shark looks like a stupid fish with big teeth.
You're 100%. So when it, like, lands on a car, it doesn't look like it's like, I'm going to kill you.

Speaker 1 It looks like it's drowning because it's not in water, the thing it breathes. And so it's weird watching them shoot him in the head with a shotgun because you're like, I don't know, man.

Speaker 1 I feel like that shark's mostly dead. Yeah.
Yeah. He just has to like be out of the water for four more minutes

Speaker 1 and nova's like boom boom

Speaker 1 by the way nova's shotgun has unlimited bullets yeah yeah video game shotgun

Speaker 1 um so yeah nova gets eaten and then uh ian zeering uh jumps into one of the sharks mouths with oh he has a he has a chainsaw and tarot read has a weed whacker and they're like chop it him up this is pretty cool uh and he like jumps into the shark's mouth and you think he's eaten and this is kind of like the scene of him jumping in the mouth it's kind of like what you see in all the advertising.

Speaker 1 Right. You think he's dead, but he chainsaws his way out of a practical shark prop and is covered in gunk.
Okay.

Speaker 2 I watched this on Plex.

Speaker 2 They blurred really

Speaker 2 the saw. They blurred him coming out.

Speaker 1 Interesting.

Speaker 2 Because I guess it was too gory. Like, what was it? A hentai pussy? I have no idea.

Speaker 1 It might have been.

Speaker 2 How dare you? I just watched

Speaker 2 it.

Speaker 1 I wonder if Plex just has like AI that says 100%.

Speaker 2 Maybe so, but yeah, it was all blurred, the thing coming through the flesh. And I'm like, this is maybe the worst CGI.
And you thought we got to save the kids.

Speaker 1 Oh, so the, I mean, maybe this didn't come across because it was blurred, but this is like one of the only practical things in the movie. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Him cutting, and he's covered in gunk, and then Nova's in there too, and he like pulls her out. And like, this is, to me, this is like fun.
This is when the movie hits. It was fun.

Speaker 1 It's like, this is cool and funny and like gross and gory. I'm like liking this.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 When the movie is like kind of here at this level then like it's it's doing it's doing its job um and yeah nova's in there too uh they ask her what her real name is and she says ginny lynn i don't know why this isn't the deal this is like what who cares yeah it's one of the last lines of the movie yeah what the

Speaker 1 and then ian zering and tara reed kiss even though they've been fighting they don't anyway i mean her boyfriend just got eaten by a shark a few you know minutes ago and his girlfriend is covered in blood yeah and she wants to fuck his son Yeah, so I feel like also that ends well.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But yeah, I think it's just

Speaker 1 people want to see them. Shakespeare, the bard.

Speaker 1 No one did it better. Shall I compare thee to a summer shark nato?

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 that's like sort of like the end of the movie.

Speaker 1 But I think you're right. I mean, I think people just wanted to see these two 90s icons.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Well, did you see the clip? Like, that was a semi-post-credits scene.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Maybe I missed this.

Speaker 2 So there's some lady who I don't think is Tara Reed. It's somebody who looks like it could be her.
I'm so confusing. And she's like, they're about to go shoot a scene.
She goes, you wait.

Speaker 2 We're all going to be famous.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 2 And I was like, what?

Speaker 1 That is strange. Yeah.
There's a weird crew. Over the credits, there's like this kind of like Ramonzi song about the Sharknado that's playing.

Speaker 2 It's like, okay, probably just, it really has, I mean, again, has they really thought that they were doing something radical.

Speaker 1 Yeah. wait,

Speaker 1 so the post-credit sequence is just like a behind-the-scenes outtake of them saying this is going to be a great movie.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we're all going to be famous. Jesus.
And they were. This movie is incredible.

Speaker 1 They sure. No, they made a bunch of these.
That's true. I know.
And they knew it.

Speaker 1 And yeah, and the people in this movie will be like at Comic-Con tables for the rest of their life selling autographs and like, you know, producing them. Hanging out with the Tremors, folks.

Speaker 1 Hanging out with the Tremors.

Speaker 2 With Jamie Kennedy.

Speaker 1 Jamie Kennedy from Tremors. Yucking it up.

Speaker 1 And as Matt alluded to,

Speaker 1 instead of the end, they put Fiend spelled Finn because it's

Speaker 1 a shark movie. That's the end of Sharknado.

Speaker 1 Fiend, yes.

Speaker 1 Great stuff. We're going to talk about the ranking we give Sharknado, but first, oh, we got to do the hunk watch.
It's honk watch.

Speaker 1 Yeah, John Hurd, right? John Hurd. He's up to it.
He's dad from home alone.

Speaker 2 Yes, you knew it. I I was going to.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's great in it, and he's sort of my hunk. But if I have to be completely fair.
Oh, please, yes.

Speaker 1 The sharks.

Speaker 1 I mean. The sharks, all of them together inside of the tornado.

Speaker 2 There's somewhere there's a NATO with a tear going down his

Speaker 1 swirly little eye. Did you see what Shark Nado wore to the red carpet during

Speaker 1 the Oscars?

Speaker 2 It had a titty out in honor of Tara Reed.

Speaker 1 That's right. That's right.
Tara Reed also one of the hunks of the movie.

Speaker 1 100%. I thought she looked great.

Speaker 2 Total babe. Love her.

Speaker 1 And I think

Speaker 1 it is unfair the way that Hollywood chews up and spits out Starlets. Thank you.
100%. Thank you.
Much like a shark coming from a NATO. Exactly.

Speaker 2 I have two titties out for her right now.

Speaker 1 That's right. Tits out.
Tits Out for Tara.

Speaker 2 Tits Out for Tara.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she doesn't have a ton to do in this. I think in the sequels, they give her.
Oh, she's in more Shark Nados. I think

Speaker 1 they're both in all of them. I don't know that for sure.
I've not seen any of the rest. That's crazy.
Is it a tech scam? It might be. I don't think it is.
I think he was watching it.

Speaker 1 I think it was made to be and then was accidentally successful. Oh, okay.
Yeah. It's the producer.

Speaker 2 I think it also

Speaker 2 somebody asked a question in the movie and they were like, How do you know that? And she goes, Shark Week.

Speaker 1 Like somebody did.

Speaker 2 And now it's a staple of Shark Week to watch Sharknado stuff. Huh.
So I think that it's kind of a fun, bad movie tradition to watch this, especially during like Shark Week stuff.

Speaker 1 Emily, any more thoughts on the hunks of the film?

Speaker 2 I think that, yeah, he's the hunk. Home Alone Dad is 100% the hunk.

Speaker 2 He also said that he was rich.

Speaker 1 I like that. I like that.
I like when he said he was rich. I do.

Speaker 2 Honestly,

Speaker 2 my

Speaker 2 what I'm looking for is getting sad.

Speaker 2 Drunk man asleep in the back of a truck who's rich. Yep.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Sign me up.

Speaker 2 Sign me up.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 hi, daddy, hi, daddy.

Speaker 1 Uh, oh, uh, I'm looking at the Sharknado wiki, apparently, Tara Reed and Ian Zeering in all of the films. Amazing!

Speaker 2 What about Nova?

Speaker 1 Uh, oh, I don't know if Nova appears, but um, I'm sure, I'm sure

Speaker 2 it seems like they are building up Nova to be the big hero, but like, I bet Nova's like, fuck you, I've got other shit to do.

Speaker 1 This, I'm sorry, this, this, the

Speaker 1 economics of this is blowing my mind a little bit, Yeah. Because I truly am wondering who's

Speaker 1 people watching these?

Speaker 2 We watched it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but like, because for a podcast, how many podcasts? Did it campaign?

Speaker 2 Well, I mean, because we're watching it for a podcast, doesn't that mean that it got watched quite a bit?

Speaker 1 Sure, but I'm just saying, it just seems like, okay, but they made how many? Yeah. Seven? They made, let's see, they made six.
Here is a little description. I'm just looking on Wikipedia right now.

Speaker 1 Here is a little

Speaker 1 blurb blurb from the final one: The Last Sharknado, It's About Time. In his quest,

Speaker 1 it's called It's About Time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think it's a time travel story. I know, but that's a great double.

Speaker 1 That's a blurry. In his quest, Finn fights Nazis, dinosaurs, knights, and even takes a ride on Noah's Ark.
Are you fucking kidding me?

Speaker 1 And Vivica A. Fox is in it? Hell yes.
Did Chuck Tingle write this?

Speaker 1 I mean, hopefully, the sharks pound each other in their asses.

Speaker 1 Tingle writes it. This is incredible.

Speaker 1 Incredible. Yeah, wild, wild little franchise.
All right. We are going to rank the original Shark Nado on a scale of 1 to 10 Super Loud Commercials.

Speaker 1 Emily, do you want to say what it is?

Speaker 2 It's the Power Rangers, baby.

Speaker 1 OG, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Over there on the bonus feed, we review Free with Ads TV, and we were watching the pilot of Power Rangers, the original.

Speaker 1 You can listen to that if you go to maximumfun.org/slash join.

Speaker 1 We've got a bunch of cool bonus episodes up there, including episodes on Frasier, on Pride and Prejudice, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Street Fighter, animated series, animated Street Fighter cartoony.

Speaker 1 Pee-wee, we've done all the greats. Maximum fun.org slash join.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Sharknado, one to ten, super loud commercials. Emily, you want to go first?

Speaker 2 Okay, I'm going to give it a five. Okay.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 Whoa, okay.

Speaker 1 I don't mean to. Oh, fuck.

Speaker 2 I take it back.

Speaker 1 Oh, oh, no, no, no. You keep going.
I'm not influencing you.

Speaker 2 I don't want the best Matt.

Speaker 1 You do not like me.

Speaker 2 No, okay. You know that I rate things based on how good they are in the background of a party.

Speaker 1 Absolutely.

Speaker 2 This is a killer movie to have on the background of a party. Yes.
You don't need to even hear what's going on to get what's going on. It's fun.

Speaker 1 People go, huh, Sharknado.

Speaker 2 Everyone knows what it is. So I give it a five.
I mean, it's a bad movie, but. I had a better time riding the roller coaster of nothingness in this than Alligator 2.

Speaker 1 All right. Matt, what'd you think? I was going to give this a two,

Speaker 1 but now I feel pressured to give it a three. Oh my God.

Speaker 1 Okay. I'm going to give it a three.
And the reason why I'm rating it so low is not just,

Speaker 1 listen, it's not just that it's a bad movie. It's that it's an affront to

Speaker 1 those who work hard all their lives. and don't get to make movie.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 I watch this movie with

Speaker 1 hate in my heart.

Speaker 1 You know what this feels like? It was like, you know how some movies are a love letter to Hollywood? I felt like this was a hate letter to me.

Speaker 1 You took it personally. You took Shark Nato.
I took it very personally. I said, oh, look at you.
You can just be like, hey, Shark Nado. And someone's like, okay, make it.
Meanwhile, some people.

Speaker 1 I will, who will remain nameless, have been trying to sell their The Leftovers Meets My Name is Earl pilot for years

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 can't get a meeting. Throw a sharknado in there.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I guess we all have to just write charts.

Speaker 2 So wait, hang on. So My Name is Earl and Leftovers.

Speaker 1 Is he like post-apocalyptic?

Speaker 2 He's pissed off a bunch of people, but his list is full of people that don't exist. And then he has to keep trying to apologize to people that aren't existing.

Speaker 1 He has to apologize to people for things he doesn't even remember he did.

Speaker 2 Okay, well, that's memento.

Speaker 1 No, but it's but it's funny. Okay, sounds funny.
So, if you want to give me a meeting, Sharknados, guys, just let me know. But I'm giving you a asylum.
Do you want to get into prestige TV? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Sitcom version of Prestige. It's like the bear

Speaker 1 meets fucking

Speaker 1 band of brothers. Oh.

Speaker 1 Bear of brothers. Bear of brothers.

Speaker 1 Brother Bear. Emily, I'm with you.

Speaker 1 I'm going to give this this a bad movie five. Yeah.
I think that there are, there's like more fun bad movies out there. You know, your teen witches, your rooms, your birdemics.

Speaker 1 But yeah, I think if you're like having a bad movie night and want to watch Sharknado, I think you'll have fun. Do not watch this alone.
You will feel crazy. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but yeah, if you're just like, if you're, whatever, if you're 22 and having a bad movie night where everybody drinks and gets stoned and watched something, this is a perfectly fun

Speaker 1 one of those.

Speaker 1 All right.
