The hilarious Jake Johnson, co-host of the We're Here To Help podcast and Peter Parker in the Spider-Verse films, joins Paul and Jason to cover Grizzly II: Revenge—a "horror" movie featuring George Clooney, Laura Dern, and Charlie Sheen that was filmed in 1983 and finally released in 2020 with a bunch of modern b-roll. They discuss all the concert footage, John Rhys-Davies' amazingly uncomfortable portrayal of Bouchard, the poachers who only want money and boners, the weird daddy/daughter vibes, and—wait... enough about the movie! Which hot young actors are Geek Sqwad?? Elordi is Geek Sqwad. Sweeney is Geek Sqwad. Zendaya? NOT Geek Sqwad! Who are the Geek Sqwad? A generation of digital native actors AND they get it.

Check out Paul's episode and June's episode of Jake's podcast We're Here To Help.
