Episode 140 of the HD Movie Podcast is here! If a movie is being discussed by Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell, it could be from any year, from any genre and of any quality.
Our Summer Of Sharks And Friends miniseries continues with the first detour into the "And Friends" portion of the title. The focus is still on a fishy menace, but a smaller one and with hundreds, if not thousands, of their mates in tow. We take a look at Joe Dante's PIRANHA from 1978!
The year should suggest that this Roger Corman production was an attempt to cash in on the Jaws movies and your hosts get into that lawsuit bait, as well as the general Corman ethos regarding low-budget movie making and the Oscar-winning talent those films spawned. Hayley and Darren also play spot the horror icon, shout out their love for practical effects, discover if the dog dies and talk remakes.
We might not be covering sharks this week but that's no excuse not to feature our awesome Summer Of Sharks theme tune by our Cap'n of composing that is Mitch Bain! You can find him on social media: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.
