    Nothing else like this on the podcast plains. It stands out like a great white shark splashing about in the shallow end of a community pool. But in good way. LISTEN!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 305 - Crocodile (2000)
Q: Lisa, did you have any plugs anywhere that our listeners can find you elsewhere?
Lisa says she has no regular outlet to promote and appears as a guest on other podcasts from time to time.
Episode 305 - Crocodile (2000)
Q: Do you think he succeeded?
Lisa says Hooper's approach creates a manic atmosphere, but it does not fully work because the setting lacks the oppressive conditions that helped shape The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Episode 304 - Venom (1981)
Q: What do you guys feel about the threat of the snake throughout the movie?
The hosts say the early attack establishes the snake as dangerous, and point to later attacks and the final fight as effective reminders of the threat. Slater is less impressed by the snake's presence between those scenes.
Episode 304 - Venom (1981)
Q: Is that fair to say?
Slater agrees that Mark and Jay seem more positive about the movie, then explains that he found it somewhat boring and neither thrilling nor schlocky enough.
Episode 302 - Rattlers (1976)
Q: Deep Blue Sea is a giant shift in cove narrative from other creature features; does Rattlers stack up as bluer or deeper than the series' usual tone?
Todd thinks it doesn't rank highly on depth or blue scale; the desert setting and minimal sea content make it a noticeable departure from the usual water-centric focus.
