Piranha 3DD (2012)


Listen Later

Coming hot on the heels of one of the 2000's most teachable moments, 2009's Friday the 13th, comes its midnight twin, a case for sleaze, an answer to the question, "Ok, Jordan. If the trash bits in Jason '09 are bad then what trash bits are good???" And your co-hosts are here to tell you: Piranha 3DD from 2012 is the movie you seek! Alexandre Aja's Piranha 3D from two years earlier is one of the great treasure's of the aughts' long tail, harnessing the sleaze of the era into clever, exploitation fun. Double D looks like it has about 1/4 of the budget, but don't you doubt it; this movie has just as much unpolished gold (and maybe more??) once you get past the cold open with Gary Busey and the farting cow. We've got faves on faves in Piranha 3DD, with Danielle Panabaker, Chris Zylka, returning hitters like Ving Rhames and Christopher Lloyd, and a real best-use cameo courtesy of The Hoff. And excuse me, Katrina Bowden did you just become an Aughts Pod hall of famer? Maybe so! Now get your bikinis packed and prepare to get wet, because we've got a lot of pop culture excavating to do. Girls Gone Wild is collapsing as the 2000s go bankrupt, y'all. The party's over, so long live the Piranha party!
