Dylan, Sheldon, Will, and guest Sean O'Rourke plunge into weird and fascinating big-killer-animal flicks from 1976-1980, including Orca, Grizzly, and Tentacles. We discuss animal intelligence, environmentalism, and America's relationship to wilderness in the 20th century, while debating the films' merits and setting them off against one other in a tournament to determine the greatest post-Jaws eco-horror oddity. We also learn about the artists behind the films, including John Frankenheimer and Tobe Hooper. Plus, marine biologist Steven Ferguson fact-checks Orca, and NY Times reporter Corey Kilgannon tells us the truth about those alligators-in-the-sewers myths.
