"Those guys have been frozen in ice for millions of years. Wouldn't you be a little horny?"

On this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE NOUGHTIES (or 00s if you're into the whole brevity thing), Devon Elson needs to science some science in order to save the day from two colossal beasts waking up from an ice bath and resuming their almighty grudge match. It's a mega shark versus a giant octopus in Ace Hannah's (Jack Perez's) 2009 b-movie Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus!

His special guest this week is Mark Adams! A wrestling commentator, celebrant, and podcaster at Shipwrecked & Comatose, It's Reel to Me Damnit, and ChuckyVision... yes, Mark's my co-host over on my other show!

Together they mix coloured liquids in order to figure out the science behind modern day b-movies and why this film deserves to be held up against the pantheon of veritable classics on this podcast. Promising leads are the muscial career of actress Debbie Gibson, a positive interracial romance, some wonderful special effects on a tight schedule, and the online virality of the trailer itself.
