Happy Shark Week everyone! This week, our chum Derek joins us for the Syfy Original Movie/Asylum creature feature Sharknado, featuring a killer cyclone full of sharks…and little else! This movie checks off all the boxes on the Asylum checklist:D-list stars/celebrities (Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, John Heard), sketchy/rubbery CGI, a nonsensical script that just exists to deliver the gimmick, and so much more. Luckily, to survive these shark-infested waters, we’ve got a custom cocktail and drinking game rules that will keep us afloat through this whirlwind of awfulness. Check out the podcast and drinking game below!
