Get set to get wet, because Dan and Keith are heading into the water for two takes on murder fish! In 1978, king of schlock Roger Corman gives newbie director Joe Dante a break with his Jaws knock-of Piranha, then decades later the self-aware schlock of the 2010s cranked the spicy content to 11 for the oddly star-studded Piranha 3D. Dan and Keith unpack the hedonism, the gore, the inevitable second act pacing issues, how much more child-peril the 70s were willing to accept, if this entire genre is an attack on 60s counter-culture, and whether more money for more effects necessarily results in a better movie. Grab yourself a jetski, a shotgun, and head into the piranha-infested waters with us.
