The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 77 (Piranha and Piranha 2)
The Uncut Gems PodcastThe Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.
Animal Attack Summer continues as we talk about the 1978 Piranha and the 1982 Piranha 2: The Spawning. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the arcane art of ripping off Jaws, the idea of throwing the kitchen sink at a movie, Joe Dante making an exploitation film, James Cameron's woes directing (or not) Piranha 2, the inferiority of large amounts of small fish in comparison with one large fish, the camp of Italian filmmaking and much, much more!
