Episode 82 (June 9, 2023)
We unpack Matt’s lifelong fear of crocodilians by taking a look at 1999’s big budget B-movie spectacular, Lake Placid. Is this schlocky special effects extravaganza just a Jurassic Park ripoff, or a sly commentary on the genre with a brilliant cast (Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt, Bill Pullman, and Betty White) operating at the top of their game interacting with a killer croc made by a master of practical creature effects (Stan Winston) and directed by a guy (Steve Miner) who seems to know what he’s doing? Spoiler: It’s the latter. This movie RULES. We were as surprised as you will be.
