Matt Lauer stars in the movie. We saw Sharknado 2 so you know what that means Hello people of Earth and welcome to how did this get made? Hello, people of Earth, and welcome to How Did This Get Made? Sharknado Edition. I am joined as always by my two co-hosts. Please welcome Jason Manzoukas, how are you Jason? Oh yeah, really great, Paul, really, really great. And June Diane Rayfield, how are you June? I'm okay.

Oh wow, really? All right. This is a sequel episode. So as you know, every time we do a sequel, we bring back our original guest, and we are not changing it up for this one. We are bringing back the amazingly talented, the tremendously funny Scott Aukerman.

Welcome, Scott. Hi, guys. I have a little more energy and gratitude for being here than these two, I guess. Yeah, I know. Thank you. Boy. I mean, you are now an official Sharknado expert.

Yeah, I do have to say you guys did it to me again. You asked me to be on the show a week ago and you said we had to watch Tyler Perry's Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned. That is what I, yeah. And did the old sharkaroo or switcharoo as I call it. Switch it up on you all the time. We're gonna make you watch all the Tyler Perry movies

but never make you talk about it. I'm getting there. all the time. We're gonna make you watch all the Tyler Perry movies, but never make you talk about them. I'm getting there. As Mr. Egg. How many times will I fall for it? This is an annual event at this point. Here's the thing, just to get it off my chest right away, I kinda like this movie.

I feel like- Why? Why do you like this? I'm gonna say- Explain. I'm gonna say this. I felt like why why do you like this? I'm gonna explain. I'm gonna say this I felt like there is and I Because of a sequel because the first one was so kind of it caught on and in a way I felt like they didn't fall into the traps that I thought it could have fallen into Which would be what being way more campy like I still felt you thought this wasn't way more campy I felt like they I felt like this wasn't way more campy I felt like

they I felt like the Matt Lauer and Al Roker stabbed a shark to death that was a great with an umbrella believable a believable but I guess what my my thought was like that they would be showing their embarrassment a little bit more and I felt like everyone committed the same way like yes you're right about that and I feel like what they think is funny is not necessarily what I find funny in it. And I think that there's still enough in it that is different than what-

See, that's the line I had a hard time drawing. What they were finding funny and sort of commenting on what was actually funny about the first one. I feel like they are, you know, anytime you're making an intentionally quote bad unquote movie, that's not the stuff that I'm finding funny. What I'm finding funny are the weird stuff

that they are unintentionally making bad. And that's exactly like what I, and I thought that this movie had tons of it that were really small and specific. But then there were weird weird choices like the opening of the movie is like the airplane going through the clouds But that is from the movie airplane or airplane to so it was as was the pilot of the airplane Robert Robert Hicks from a plane meaning the tail of the airplane looking like a shark spin. Yes coming through the clouds Yeah, and and then that whole segment was the Twilight Zone episode where there's something on the wing of the plane.

But see, I feel like the writers in those types of things are trying to go, look how smart they are. Oh yes, oh every step of the way. They're just, all of their homages are like, ha ha, can you believe we're doing this? But it was homage with no spin. It was just the recreation. It was sort of like, this is similar.

And that should be enough for you guys Oh, yeah, look at the length to which we went to The thing that I was also very confused about is they're coming from LA to New York. So they're over land I do that flight a lot. That's an overland flight. Really you do that flight I do that flight a lot. What's going on with your career? Jet setting with Paul Scheer My family lives in New York, so I get to go back a couple times a year.

Oh, so it's for family purposes, really. Wow, so you've got the kind of money where you can travel cross-country multiple times a year. To visit family. Yeah, you know, Jeff lives in the big building. Back in the little house on the prairie days, they said goodbye to their family if they ever moved across the country.

They would never see them again. Well, that's the benefit of this, living in this world right now. Yeah,. I why that's the benefit of this living in this world right now Yeah, well, it's also the benefit of this job that you're doing. You've got that crazy stamps calm money Oh, I'm I'm pulling in money from no nature box. I'm pulling in cars against humanity money I mean, I'm so excited to be making my fortunes and podcasting that But so that's a it's a land It's a land flight and there is a tornado full of sharks. By the way, if you are hearing a baby,

our baby, Gene and my baby, is here doing his first podcast. He might add a thought or two. Oh yeah, so they don't even explain why the Sharknado happens. The first movie was like, they collected all the sharks and they got sucked up. This one, nothing.

This one is just, yeah, the Sharknadoes exist. Or do they? Because that was the weird thing too. For some people it seemed like a Sharknado was not something that they had heard of, or it was such distant history. But every single person who sees Ian Ziering says, hey, you're that famous guy who battled the sharknado. Oh yeah, they've written a best-selling book about it.

Which if you could argue that, which I'm holding here in my hand. For the camera. Yeah, for the camera. You guys getting a shot of this? Which you can. Oh, by the way, if you know how to watch the live video stream of how did this get made, then you're enjoying this. Yeah, this is great.

Live video podcast going on right now. What's the boom about? This has been really great. If you haven't heard about it, then you're enjoying this live video podcast going on right now. This has been really great. If you haven't heard about it, then you're not one of the cool kids. And we're also in front of a live studio audience, and we love our audience. Every member of the studio audience gets $1100 to be here. Bound and gagged, but they are

enjoying it 100%. But yeah, so like, technically Hollywood Los Angeles is destroyed. I mean, because the last Sharknado ripped down the Hollywood sign. Is it an alternate universe where Hollywood is destroyed? Or I guess it would have to be, wouldn't it? Well, it's not at all. I mean, it is an alternate unit. It's not an alternate unit. Here's my question. Are you asking if this is a documentary? The first one is obviously an alternate universe because the Sharknado did not

actually tear through Hollywood. The Hollywood sign did not come down. the sharknado did not actually tear through Hollywood. The Hollywood sign did not come down. That one is in an alternate universe. Is this one in our present universe? What is happening right now? This is a very elaborate bit. It's a very meta bit that he's saying that he lives in. The first one was not a documentary.

That's the question you're asking, yeah. So what you saw happen in the first one. I'm just wondering at what point do the time streams converge? Is that why you have not gone to New York after you saw the movie Godzilla? Oh no, I will not go. Yeah, no. Yeah, no, this takes place in a movie, in the movie universe. Do all movies take place in the movie universe, by the way?

Do you know how, like, in any Sherlock Holmes movie or the- The Robert Downey Jr. ones? Yeah, or the recent Sherlock. No one ever says, like, oh, your Sherlock Holmes, like, the famous Sherlock Holmes movie or the Robert Downey Jr. ones? Yeah, or the recent Sherlock. No one ever says, oh, your Sherlock Holmes like the famous Sherlock Holmes? Or in Spider-Man, in the recent Spider-Man, in Amazing Spider-Man 2, he has a ringtone, which is the Spider-Man cartoon theme song. And yet, Spider-Man, he is the first existence upon this. So maybe that theme song was used for another popular cartoon that he is a fan

of? But I also think that in the Spider-Man 2 universe, I doubt that the Avengers movies exist. Are you just promoting comic book movies? The DVD comes out, Blu-ray comes out today actually. For which? For Amazing Spider-Man 2. Oh yeah? Okay great. I get a little piece of it. But does every movie take place in one universe? For the sake of this, we can argue that this movie in particular takes place in a parallel universe. The first one and the second one. But these two movies take place in a universe that not all other movies take place in.

Exactly. But it is the same universe that The Fault in Our Stars takes place in. Because you saw all the damage in The Fault. And The Hangover 2, not 1 and 3. Not 1 and 3, but just hangover two. I did read an article today that was like, hangover three finally happens for real. Giraffe gets head cut off on highway overpass.

Oh, giraffe. Giraffe. Giraffe. That's how you pronounce it, right? Is that one of those words you've only read? Yeah, giraffe. Is it giraffe? Giraffe gets a head cut off.

You know, the pianist from The Muppets, Geroff. But yes, LA is destroyed. And so you would think, and it is to certain people, big news. And then other people are like, I don't believe in this Sharknado. That's what it was. It destroyed a city. It was as if,

you know, to me, Sharknado was like that movie universe is September 11th Yes, right something catastrophic has happened in the world of this movie And you would think that everybody and there were some people like Kelly Osborne who's like wants them to sign her books Which by the way I have to ask about that she comes up to Iron's earring and says hey, can you sign my book and he goes I didn't write it right it's about him Yes, can't he sign a book that's about it He does not sign it he does we talk about it Tara read and writing. Oh, I wrote that down I did too

I like freeze-framed on Terry signature, and it is as if Your baby wrote it Right now it looks it can't hold anything yet, so that sounds right. I would describe it as like, when regarding Henry, when Harrison Ford got shot and he's learning how to write again, that is the level of writing. Or if she held a pen between her two hands

pressed together in like the prayer format, preposition, and then tried to write like that. Like, what's crazy is her handwriting makes, it starts off the movie reminding you how terrible she is in the whole entire thing. She can't even scroll her name correctly. Let alone act. And she doesn't, and this is an author now, she is an author, and she doesn't sign the

book, she just writes her name in, you know, in, not, what's the opposite of cursive, just in block letters. Right, writes in block letters, and then by the way, says to Kelly Osborne, by the way, I'm having a signing tomorrow, you should come to it. She just got her book signed! Why does she need?

And she needs bodies in the seats. Bodies in the seat is very specific. Gotta get her to come out. But like, the idea that these people start off like they are celebrities or whatever because of the Sharknado, but then when the sharknado returns to New York where they are now people are genuinely like what are you talking about? And no one believes them. We want to go to the baseball game, we want to whatever and

they're like we gotta get out of here. The plane crashed land at JFK because of a sharknado and no one believes it. Everyone just talks about it like a plane had an emergency landing. And nobody's mentioning sharks. Sharks were meanwhile falling on JFK airport. Which by the way, he, Ian Ziering, when the Today Show and Matt Lauer says hey a plane made an emergency landing it then cuts to a press conference that he did. I love that. And he talks about yeah well this is a sharknado or whatever. And then it cuts to him rushing through the hospital by Tara Reade's side.

Why is he doing a press conference before rushing to the hospital? He took a moment just to do a press conference. Okay. There is so much news footage in this movie. Yes. What happens though is just so that we can jump right into the actual Sharknado part. They're on the plane. The plane flies into the Sharknado. Like the Sharknado. The Sharknado part. They're on the plane, the plane flies into the sharknado, the sharknado,

the sharknado, and the pressure, the cabin pressure, like a hole is ripped in the side of the plane, people are sucked out. Somehow Kelly Osborne is still able to walk up and down the aisle going, everything's okay. Yeah, everything's okay. It is not, by the way. By the way, I just want to say, if you think June is not talking, she had to step out for a second because she's continuing to take great care of our baby. Our boner's got too big.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just too much. She couldn't reach the mic. I do want to talk about it. Before we get out of the plane, there's a couple of things that are worthy of mentioning. Kelly Oxford is in this movie as well. Kelly Oxford, who you might know as a Twitter personality,

a book author. Is she the person who goes in the bathroom? Yes. Why does she smell the bathroom when she walks in? He was only in there for a second. I thought that, and he wasn't pooping, and I thought he was gonna come back like, oh, she smells fish.

Like, what is that? And then a shark is gonna come out. Come out of the thing? No, no, it's just for her to walk in and go. It's, ew, yeah. just for her to walk in and go. Yeah. Ew, yeah. Do we also notice that Steve Sanders, eye and searing, is wearing a shark tooth necklace? Oh yeah, that's his new addition.

Well, his name is Finn, which I'm still confounded by that. His name is Finn and sharks have fins. I wanna know this. This is what I wanna know. Okay, no, wait, so sorry. So then we cut to the cockpit, the pilots are like, this weather's getting real crazy. A shark flies into, there are sharks that are airborne that fly in and out of the plane

in the cabin. They're eating people. They eat the pilots and suck them out into. Why can the sharks breathe air? Well that has always been an issue. Never answered. I get it, sharks get sucked up out of the ocean by a tornado, fine. They would die almost instantaneously of asphyxiation and just be shark corpses.

Isn't the tornado, it's filled with moisture though. Moisture, not breathing, sharks need to get oxygen. Do they? Oh god. I wish June was here because she might have an opinion. Oh, she's the shark expert. Yeah, she has an opinion on that now But here's the other my issues are too

The sharks also act like bullets. Yes, but they see they seem to be thrust against their own will but when they are flying They're like well fuck it. I'm gonna eat this person's head too like so they have Total control and no control at the same time. They are just projectiles of teeth And if a person gets in their way It's chompa chompa chompa that person either gets cut in half. Yes decapitated. I would say a lot of headshots This is this movie everyone's head is just coming clean. Doesn't seem like they're aiming for the people though Later like harnesses one and rides it like a bucking bronco through a tornado. But here is my issue with that.

A sharknado. Sharknado, which Matt Lauer refuses to say, which I like as a funny runner. I will say this, a huge missed opportunity when he rides that shark at the end, because he is a surfer. Yep. Yeah, surf it.

Surf that shark, man! Surf that shark! Surf that shark! Yeah, it was huge. It was so close. Huge missed opportunity. So close to surf that shark. Surf that shark! It was so close! Huge missed opportunity. So close to Surf that Shark. I wanted to know... I would have loved a little bit of wipe out. Like, nananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananan Nounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounounoun I would love to People there that really might take an interest in that

At one point I am zeroing he the pilot is eaten so he gets behind Anytime he wants there's an opportunity to act the hero. He jumps for it. Oh, yeah and says so I'm the hero Yeah, like out loud will say he's the hero, but he gets behind the the wheel of the plane of a wheel Yeah, sure He gets on the radio and he says hey, this is flight 209 My thing is that like how does he know what? Oh, yeah, any of us got in that thing we would not be as well put together as him He had no have you ever remembered the flight number of a flight year on? Like after you've stepped on the plane? Not only that. I do because I fly the same

flights in New York and LA a lot. Do they let you fly the plane? Well sometimes you know just for fun I mean I get in there. That's so cool. But here's my question and this may be but I may not be remembering this from the previous. I have lost one. Is he a pilot? No. See that's it. I don't think I was wondering that to somebody else's chopper in the first line though. He was not he was not he gets into the Cockpit of a plane that has lost two engines that has be a depressurized cabin a depressurized Cockpit yeah, and he gets on the horn and he lands the plane by the way 747 here's my other camera. Wow this is shit in my other can you we should have cut the sully sullenberger going up now that guy's good yeah I would have loved that how many cameos do you think we're in the movie I

counted so I know okay well see I didn't even know Kelly yeah Kelly Kelly Oxford yeah so there are people that I want to say something sorry just about Kelly Oxford cuz Kelly Oxford reminds me of the scene in the bathroom Where he's like freaking out and he goes any splashes back bathroom water on his face Yeah, I just want to say because he thinks he's hallucinating not Go into an airplane bathroom and splash the water water is not potable You don't you shouldn't even wash your hands in air. Is that true? No, not at all You're better off just using Purell.

It's so dirty. Airplane bathrooms, the water, everything is so dirty that you should definitively never use it. It's disgusting. It's like washing your hand in like a porta potty. Yes. What's wrong with that? What?

And you know how like everybody has, you know, certain directors have a certain style in the opening airplane sequence, they developed this new style, which is called blurry cam, which is, I guess we can't get this shot totally right, so they just make it really blurry. Just add some blur, yeah. Yeah, it makes it blurry, so you really can't tell what's going on.

Yeah, add some shake, add some light rings. Sorry, Paul, to get back to your question, I'm going to guess 35 cameos. Oh yeah, 35 cameos. Cameos? Well, see, this is the thing, in that scene where Jared- Including the band Cameo. Oh yes, of course. Just kidding. Cameos? Well, see, this is the thing. In that scene where Jared- Including the band cameo.

Oh, yes. I'm just kidding. Of course the band cameo. And I'm not counting people like Mark McGrath. Oh, you're not. I'm not counting literally the cameos. OK. Because in that scene with Jared from Subway,

it seemed like there were two people next to him that I should- There was a bunch of those. That I should recognize, but I don't know who they are. So if you're counting those people people people I did not actively even remember right then I cameos I would have to say there's 23 okay 35 35 do you have a juice back I don't have a number I do have it it almost felt like I I felt at one point like oh every extra is a that's what I don't even know but I know is someone I felt like it was like you count because you

can't you knew all the people like what you counted along or you have a lit you found it online I counted along and then I have gone back and look at supplemented your information there's only one person that I missed in the list of that I've seen online 50 I'm gonna say 50. Okay. Kurt Angle was the one I didn't get. He was the fire department guy in New York. I didn't know what Kurt Angle looks like. I don't know what that is.

Who's Kurt Angle? Kurt Angle, I believe, is a wrestler? Okay. I don't know. Oh yeah, I know. Yes, yes, yes. I knew he was somebody. I can tell he was somebody, yeah.

I mean, almost anyone could be considered a cameo. Well, celebrity cameos. You know what I mean? But you know what I mean? Like, maybe Jared from Subway is technically a cameo, but it's also the most lines he could probably get should he audition for something. Well, I guess like celebrity appearances. So the number is 27.

Oh, that was the closest, baby. 27 little guest ones. Screw you. Oh yeah, baby. I don't like that. I did like the fact that I did feel like though they cut the certain people in the crowd and I was always like is that person famous or is that person just like I felt like Kickstarter contribution people even though that didn't happen in this movie.

I just felt like it was like hey my sister wants to be in the movie. Hey my brother wants to be in it. Which is also leads me to some of the music in this movie. Like some weird acoustic guitar sometimes. Oh yeah. No there were all these sharp NATO songs. Who was the guy playing guitar on acoustic guitar. Oh, yeah. No, there were all these sharp guitar on the subway. Yeah, I was like, this must be somebody

because they kept cutting back to him singing different songs. That's what I'm saying. That that and he didn't get killed. No, we can't because that music. You guys, I know I missed a couple of minutes. Have you started to talk about just the story? Not really. We're still in the prologue.

Yeah, you're still talking about Terry Reid story? Not really, we're still in the prologue. Oh, okay great. You're still talking about Tara Reid's handwriting? Yeah, we did, and we also wanted to get your opinion on why you think these sharks are able, because we were saying that they can't be there. Yeah, you're the shark expert. Well, you know what I actually was thinking this time around? It seems strange to me,

all of a sudden the thought occurred to me, if I'm a shark and I'm swimming along I somehow get caught up in a tornado uh-huh you'd be surprised you're in the mind of the shark yes I love this well here's yes Scott this is the thing I'd be shocked

it would be shocking to you right I would be shocked you would be shocked I would be totally shocked would you be shocked to find out that you were in midair? I don't know if the first thing I would do is want to eat and attack. All of a sudden it occurred to me, like, these sharks are, you know, sharks swim around for a while in the water and don't necessarily attack everything they see.

Stay with me. Imagine this. Stay with me. Imagine this. Say you're in your house tonight and all of a sudden the they see. Imagine this. Stay with me. Imagine this. Say you're in your house tonight and all of a sudden the burglar alarm goes off. Oh God. Would you fry yourself up an omelet first?

Before attack. That's a very good question. But what, yeah. Okay. No, I wouldn't. No. There you go. You're proving your point.

Here's my point. There you have it. But sharks are only hungry when they're provoked. Guys, sharks cannot breathe in air. It would be like saying tonight, you are sucked from your bed and put two miles underwater. What if it were a whirlpool? What if there's some air in the whirlpool, especially if you're in the middle of it? Wait a second, it would work the same way for us.

We all eat fish or Right? So if we got pulled into the water will we just immediately start eating fish? Chop it on some fish now! Fish started slapping me in the face in the middle of a Human pool which would be the equivalent of a sharknado. What we have forgotten to say a human pool Sorry whirlman. A whirlman? say, I apologize, is as the sharknado hits the plane and the plane is ripped open, Tara Reed's hand is eaten off. Yeah, oh, we totally forgot. Of a shark.

She's holding a gun. Which appears. She's shooting at the sharks. Oh yes, she's shooting at the shark. Dead on aim, amazing aim. She shoots it in the eye, she says, the shark has a scar, she appears to think the shark remembers her.

Yes. Which made me think of Josh. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. She's shooting at the sharks. She's shooting at the shark. Dead on aim, amazing aim. She shoots it in the eye, she says, the shark has a scar, she appears to think the shark remembers her, which made me think of Jaws 4. By the way, that was the whole problem

with the original Sharknado, which was that- There was one problem with the original Sharknado. That was the only problem I could see. That was the whole problem, which was what? The only problem I saw was that it seemed like we were tracking one shark, and then all sharks at the same time, but that there was a battle against one shark. I thought that that was the shark I thought it was going to be. There seemed to be a moment of recognition. Did that shark come back at the end of this movie?

Oh yes it did! Yes it did! It did because it had her arm in its mouth! Oh! I didn't realize that I thought it was another... No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no Her whole arm was not eaten off. Just her arm. Just her hand. Get the fuck out. Get out of here. Fuck the fuck out of you. I am shocked that you guys think that this is her arm. No, when he reaches in the mouth. Why would he reach in the mouth

and he pulls out, they show her ring on the plane. Why would he say she's not gonna need this again? Because they can't put it back on. She can't put her waisted shriveled arm in. But why would he say she? Because she's right next to him. Because he doesn't barely recognize her as a human. Well okay, I understand that. She may not have even been there.

According to ABC News, it says at the end of the movie, Zering finds a shark that ate Reed's hand and gets the wedding ring back by ripping it out of the chewed arm, and it says, baby, will you marry me again? And she says yes. But he says, literally, I wrote this down, he says, she's not going to need this again.

Because he's making a joke. But who's the she? He's saying it to himself, like, she's not gonna need this again. Yeah, because she can't hear him. It doesn't make any himself like, she's not gonna need this again. Yeah, because she can't hear him. It doesn't make any fucking sense. Oh really? She's not gonna need this again.

Oh really? You're gonna get really upset at the logic of this? How does that line make any sense? Every person in the city of New York continuously runs into each other. Who is he saying it to? Why is Judd Hirsch at the other stop with his taxi cab? Because he knows that if anyone were to get out of that big situation at Met Stadium, it would have been them. You are out of order.

You are out of order. Guys, there's so many great. Actually, can I say one thing about the ring? That really was confusing, because my question is, were they engaged in the beginning? Why did she have to be divorced? I understand that. Why was she wearing an engagement ring, Jason?

I don't know. But was it a wedding ring? Wearing an engagement ring. She put it back on. That's the props department. She put it back on. Was it from the end of the first movie? Yes.

I think so, yes. Or maybe in the first movie, her hand swelled around the ring and she had to wear it in the second movie. By the way, I got to say, Tara Reed, great job for holding out. She wrote a book, and she didn't reconcile through that entire time. Although, brings me to the when we're talking about these confusing lines of dialogue this is another confusing line at one point where someone goes like we have to go to the they're just gonna go see

baseball and someone goes that's no problem June is gonna take a break you can take another break that's fine get out of here baby you cool baby don't you like talking about bad movies? You cool dude. Baby is very upset about the ring argument. Oh yeah. Bye baby. Look, I'm sorry we argued.

Through the eyes of a child, Jason, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I got so mad at you. Apology accepted. There's a lot of lines in this movie that are written as if someone doesn't understand how language works. Like that's a perfect example. Like, yes, she's not going to need this again. But then he gives it to her and she's standing right there. But there's one point where someone goes like, they're off to see a baseball game or I'm going to go to the baseball games. Like, that's not the type of baseball I'm worried about. What

does that mean in the context? That's crazy. Yeah, like that's a, like, well that's like, it's almost a pun, but it's not because they're worried, he's really worried about the sharknado. There's like so many weird, the whole scene between Judah and Richard Kind. Judah Friedlander, by the way, is in the movie not wearing one of his signature hats, which I literally have never seen him without one. Well, only in his real work, like in his like dramatic work and meet the parents and stuff,

does he not wear hats. Oh, he's in Meet the Parents. Yeah, yeah. Interesting. He plays the Ben Stiller part. Oh wow, that's crazy. He's really good. By the way-

Yeah, there's a whole scene between he and Richard Kind where Richard Kind has to talk about how he failed in his last scene. By the way, to the question of why aren't you in the players club eating the free food, he responds by telling a story. Can I tell you a story, he says? Yeah, which is not about why he's not down there in the players club. Well, I don't, has nothing to do with any of the themes

of the movie. Well, this looks really weird about the movie. Like, the way news travels in this movie is so disjointed and strange. Oh yeah. Only through the Today Show, which is on 24 hours a day. Only through the Today Show, which is essentially CNN. a day. Only through the Today Show, which is essentially CNN. By the way, the Today Show has better graphics

on the Today Show than this movie has in the actual movie. Oh, for sure. But some people are evacuating Staten Island while some people are at Citi Field just minding their peace and peace. And when Ian Ziering comes to tell them, get out of here or Sharknado is here, everyone looks at him like he's crazy

And relax hang out a little bit by the way it does seem like certain areas of the city are being greatly affected Like parts of New York are totally flooded yep and other parts. It's like a beautiful day out. Yes, right Well and and this to be fair within scenes it switches from daytime to night scenes it switches from daytime to nighttime. Yes. A lot of the same cinematography problems that the first one is. And that is kind of why, again, why I love this movie.

Because I feel like they didn't fix all the problems. And I don't think they were trying to do it more intentionally. They didn't go more towards making it look bad. It's sort of like, no, the same people did it again. And this is what they got. They still can't pay extras So there's a lot of scenes where there's like is empty Other than the one extra by the way waving his heart arms like this as he ran

I don't know if you have like cool. I made me rewind that three times a guy running with his arms above his head back and forth There is there is no egg. They have no extras They have nothing no to fill out this world. If you start to track one extra, you will see that same extra over and over. Well, I would actually argue that Sharknado 1 is a better movie, though. Like, there were stakes in Sharknado.

I agree. In terms of like, them getting back together, and the kids having to prove something, and like, I couldn't figure out like, what? But this one had Andy dick as a cop yeah That's true and and and the bringing back together of I am searing and mark McGrath as their buddies from by the way mark McGrath like he how does he look so old and so young at the same time he looks like a teenager who sat down and got Old age makeup put on him like like Leonardo DiCaprio and J. Edgar

age makeup put on him like Leonardo DiCaprio and J. Edgar or something? I said that he looks like a cold Ethan Hawke because he looks cold. They did shoot this during the polar vortex. He looks like he was chilly and he looks like he's shivering all the time, like just about to do my Parker back on. Put the Parker back on like every time you say cut. Just the relationships because even before the Shark Shark NATO hits, what's happening is that Ayn Zearing and Tara Reid, who are not married, not engaged, although she's... They are divorced, but they are trying to make it work.

And anytime someone says, your wife, he goes, uh-uh, man, we're divorced. And yet she has this ring on. So I would think though we're setting up that like, he may not want to be with her at all, like that there's something being set up that... Same, and especially when... Viv up then I was like oh now it's gonna get it complicated Vivica Fox Playing it real. I mean really committing a hundred percent, but they were former lovers Oh, yeah, but I didn't quite understand what her relationship high school

They were former lovers all 32 years ago because they are both 50. Yes, and he says to her, I haven't seen you since graduation. Yes, and she says- High school graduation. And she says, everyone in the old neighborhood still talks about you. Yes, and he goes back to the old neighborhood's pizza place and he's like, hey Vinny, you still got those propane tanks? Oh, are we talking about Vinny played by Biz Markie?

Biz Markie, yes. Oh yeah, that was crazy. By the way, Biz Markie, when he says, are you out of your mind, he twirls his finger in the cuckoo motion. That is the most surefire way, if you ever act in anything, if you ever have a line that says are you crazy, are you out of your mind, never do the cuckoo motion. It's the most surefire way to prove you are a terrible actor. Also Biz Markie makes a very interesting choice.

A shark comes into his pizza restaurant and they kill it and throw it in the oven. The next scene you see him kind of mopping the floor. He's mopping. Like, I gotta kind of clean up before I get out of here. And keep in mind, I'm cooking that shark at a low temp. Yeah. Ooh, shark pizza. So, but they're all in town for a high school reunion? No, no.

They're gonna be on Kelly and Michael to promote the book, but that's odd because they cut it. Which by the way, Kelly, but can we talk about, okay. But here's the thing, so why is his sister there then with her husband and kids? They live there. I think they live, oh no. They live there, they've never seen the Statue of Liberty.

They haven't seen the Statue of Liberty, you're right. Yeah, or maybe they live there and they have never seen the Statue of Liberty. I mean, that's possible. That's possible. And by the way, it didn't look like they got the location permits for Statue of Liberty because they couldn't get past. Maybe. And by the way, it didn't look like they got the location permits for Statue of Liberty because they couldn't get past this police. Like everything in New York is, like you go, oh you shoot in New York, everything gets,

production values look great. Not here. It looked like they were shooting with like running and gunning. Production values on that green screen were amazing. But when later on when the head of the Statue of Liberty is rolling down the street, there's blood coming off of it. Did you see that? There's sharks, right? I think it's because it crushed people.

Oh, okay. Oh, I did realize. It's not bleeding. My favorite. The head is not bleeding. But it looks so much like a severed head. There's no blood in the Statue of Liberty. Is there actual blood in the Statue of Liberty?

Is there a person in there? Is there a woman, a giant woman in there? This does get to a common health belief, which there is a giant woman who was Is like Han being frozen the statue Yes, I thought it's a statue, but there is a tinier slightly 99% scale woman It was it was made from the blood of an old. Yeah, it's like Han and carbonite You know like it's that kind of a thing you have to melt it and then the woman will come. By the way, I think Damon, who I love from Shark Tank,

my one of my favorite sharks who never buys anything, his cameo like you're in Sharknado, get eaten by a shark. He's like, no, no, no. I'm the only one who's going to get killed by the Statue of Liberty head. Yeah. And I thought there because he plays a shark in Shark Tank, there was going to be some sort of. I thought he would punch a shark like, like no I am equal to a shark. Yeah Sharko a sharko. Yeah make the shark an offer. Yeah, he's like he's like, how about I invest

Well, I want to say Kelly Ripa they're supposed to go on the Kelly Ripa show. The Rip? Yes. They're cutting it very close, by the way, because the Kelly Ripa show is, like, they must have had to land and run over to that show. What flight or is this some sort of weird red eye where they get in at like four in the morning? He also had time to do an interview while Tara Reid's hand yeah severed off but but my thing about Kelly is my thing about Kelly is

She sets up her shoes so that she can she can put her heel through a shark Yeah I think so they get a close-up of her foot that close up is so weird because and I took a picture of it There's a huge bruise. I guess covering a tattoo. I Really? It's makeup covering a tattoo who cares if she has a tattoo. I agree Well, maybe I've made a picture of it right here. That's huge. That's a huge They were saying that she was hurt by a shark No, I thought it was makeup covering a tattoo and maybe it's a body double

Because she wouldn't actually do the shot and then they actually on our website. Yeah, it's crazy. It's weird Did you know that picture? I think it's a body double oh that they had to in post put like some weird stain on her in order to match her tattoo or something or maybe matched Kelly Ripper's like naturally tanned complexion yeah I don't know I think it's Kelly Ripper and it's makeup covering a tattoo but why would she? Sharknado is there's people's heads being bitten off Maybe they cover it on the day on the tip on the show every day I think that's and they didn't she covers her tattoo on the show

Actor who shows up and goes into a make-up and hair trailer when they're playing themselves a lot know what I'm saying is Every single actor who shows up and goes into a makeup and hair trailer When they're playing themselves? A lot of times No, what I'm saying is What? Stop screaming it up Scott, Scott, calm down When?

When do they do this? Scott, calm down This is ridiculous Her audience is all stay at home moms in middle America They don't want to see the tattoo on her ankle Kelly, stop covering the tattoo We love you Tattoos are a mean thing

How many times are they shooting? Oh, she's that one? Oh, she's also got a wrist tattoo that she doesn't cover up that says Consuelos, which is her husband's name But she does it says she does cover up the other one. I don't know interpolating I'm just seeing that she's next to Regis and she's showing it off and Regis looks shocked and she's got a tattoo Oh Regis. Yeah Regis. All right Why is it Regis. Yeah, Regis. Alright, well anyway. Well that moment is... Why is it Regis in this movie? That's a good question.

By the way, is there... I thought that Kelly and Michael committed to are where Matt and Matt Lauer and Al Roker really played it straight. Matt Lauer legit has an arc in this movie. Yep, he does. Which is he goes from... From bewilderment... He's great.

...to incredulous. And then he finally calls it a sharknado. That's, I would say that's his journey. He would call it a shark storm and he finally gets to calls it a sharknado. I would say that's his journey. He would call it a shark storm, and he finally gets the call out of sharknado. And he kills a shark. He does kill a shark. By the way, I know we talked about this

in the last sharknado, but I had to ask myself the question again. Why don't people, when the sharks are out of water, just let them flail around and die? But they're flying like bullets. But they're flailing like bullets. But the shark that ran up to- It's like, why don't you just let a bullet die.

You're dead. Well the shark that landed near Kelly Ripa, like, it could just land there. Just run away from it. Just run away from it. It's got like a maximum like 10 foot radius. Then it will flop around. Say you were on a boat and a fisherman was there and he landed a shark and it was flopping around next to you.

Would you just stand there or would you go, ah, and run away? You'd run away. I would definitely go, ah, and run away, but I wouldn't take out a spear and kill it. Why not? If you get a chance to kill a shark, you should. You should kill a shark. My absolute favorite, because we're not going in any kind of order, I feel like. My absolute favorite moment in this entire movie is when the sharknado is ripping through Manhattan and all of the people

of New York are rising up to fight the show I love that because that's what people in New York and the old and and there's a there's a shot afters like shot after shot of people opening car trunks and pulling out yeah machetes or shovels sitting there waiting for the sharknado why don't they have the stuff in their hands already then there's a guy who pulls a tarp off of a pickup truck where there is just chainsaws. Lots of chainsaws. He starts ripping the chainsaws and throwing them into the tornado, the sharknado. So the chainsaws will whip around themselves fighting the sharks in some sort of sharks

versus chainsaws. It's a chainsaw NATO at that point. And by the way, those chainsaws will come down. Oh yeah, 100%. Someone will get... They don't just go up to heaven. Yeah. It was very irresponsible to throw those chainsaws into the shark NATO.

And that's what New Yorkers do. Yeah. I also feel like I know it's a regular joke, like, oh, fuck New Jersey. But New Jersey was through a legit disaster only a year ago. A horrible storm and a horrible storm And yet they get no no no love or they keep talking about Jersey like don't go to Must have made this before Sandy no no they didn't know then you're right I feel like I feel like this would have been a great time for that fat governor from New Jersey Chris Christie to come in and be like hey

I heard it handled this before. Yeah, give me a chainsaw to shotgun. That would have been a great For him to make fun of the scandal about closing off the he was like Sharknado to just move on then we'd be ready to move NATO. The lanes are closed You can't get out of you would all have a good laugh then we'd be ready to move on. There's Sharknado, the lanes are closed, you can't get out of Jersey. We would all have a good laugh and we'd forgive him. Okay, so there's a bunch of beats, one of my favorite beats in this movie too is when, like there's, you know, there's like that hero moment

where the hero saves one of the days, you know, one of the kind of moments where he saves the day for the people he's with, and he runs back and he joins them and he's like, ah, ah, and you know, in the movies it'd be like, oh my oh my god you've been shot and he hasn't even noticed they're like oh my god look and he has a baby shark that has bitten into his side and is just attached and flopping around he has a shark attached to his body that he has not noticed because of the adrenaline of saving the day and I'm gonna there's a fish attached to him day. And I'm gonna bring up- There is a fish attached to him. I'm gonna bring up something though

that I have an issue with Ian's performance, which is when he- Flawless, I loved it, I thought he was great. I believe he committed 100%, but I felt like he never knew how to land the one-liners because when that baby shark was attached to him, he's like, oh, that's gonna leave a mark. But he never like enjoyed it,

like he had another line- What about, that's gonna leave a shark? You know, like enjoyed it like you had another line. That's gonna leave a shark You know like pump it boom Tated why why is everyone in the world in this movie, and we were not asked we should have been asked to be in this Offered everything and you guys said no so you have left us no other option But to make our own sharknado three yep starring us we have to say we involve four of us were in a scene I'm gonna say it would have been appealing to some people automatically automatically half a mill more people and killed us four million people watched this last night yeah four million It's like a sci-fi channel record.

The first one didn't even, I think, clear a million. And then over on Twitter, it was a ridiculous number of people in the Twitter. Tweeting about it. Yeah, it was way more than before. So this movie is a bona fide. They say they're gonna make one every year. Really?

Yeah. I think as far as Ian's Earring's performance goes, you know that expression of you act for free but you get paid to wait around? Yes. I think he acts for free and gets paid to kiss Tara Reid. That's like the most pained expression on his face. Do you think that Tara Reid asked for the PTSD role? Like she's like I need my character to be a little bit more complex. She's clearly... To match my character to be a little bit more complex. She's clearly- To match my acting style.

I have a question, and June, this question is for you. What's up, Doc? Doc or Doc? On the plane, on the plane, before tragedy strikes, before the sharknado, Tara Reid is in a white leather jacket. Okay? Symbolizing, I'm assuming that she is truly one of the good guys. She is one of the good guys.

She is a white cat. In the last movie, she underwent a transformation where now she is a newly a virgin and she's about to be a part of it. Like Sean Lowe from The Bachelor. I don't think that was part of it, but okay. Once her hand is chomped off, she is wearing a black leather jacket

and black fingerless gloves. And a white like giant necklace. Yes. By the way like giant. What do you think about this outfit change? How and why is she allowed to change outfits on a day when only a sharknado is happening? Well, she was in the hospital and she was in a gown. By the way they got that. My feeling is that this was the outfit she was planning on wearing at Kelly and Michael. Interesting. And so she had it with her. Including fingerless leather glove, which she is wearing. I didn't see that. Look she is a stylist. I did notice though by the way when she was in the hospital, I don't know if anybody else noticed that that hospital scene when she's in the bed the robe she's wearing is like a Giants robe. Do you mean the New York Giants?

But yeah they clearly couldn't afford like getting the extra gauze to tape up her hands. She just pulled her arm into a, she pulled her arm in so her arm just didn't come out of the hole. I did think something was happening where I mean she has so much makeup on the entire movie. And it's like, I think there was a conversation where she was like, I get it, I know I've been through a tough day and had my arm, my limb cut off just hours before, but I know how many people are gonna be watching Sharknado. They need the next movie. There's no fucking way, yes, there's no way I'm not doing full hair and makeup.

And a new outfit. Yeah. And that's why I'm going to argue that everyone played it straight because they knew millions of people would be watching. Like, 4 million people. That's more than that watch Mad Men on week to week. That's more than watch Breaking Bad.

That's more than watched Transformers or the last Star Wars. Yeah. But it's like, so they know that they have to bring their A game. It's not as many people as listen to this podcast. Yeah, crazy. Really amazing. What is in the next one?

Well, there's a really funny moment with her too where, I don't know if you guys talked about this, but when she's running out of the hospital, when they're evacuating the hospital, she has her own hero moment with this. Everyone does. Go, go, go! They're constantly saying go, go, go. The girl that's cast as the helpless little girl that she helps out is 15 years old. Oh, it's not over. She's so old. As tall as Tara Reid. Absolutely. And she's hovering behind a filing cabinet and she's scared. And she's basically like, here's the thing, guys. Why not just cast's the thing, when you cast a minor,

you have to pay for a tutor. And a tutor is about three to $500 a day on top of the minor. The minor can only work certain hours. So they were casting 18 year olds, no matter what. What if this was an eight year old girl and an eight year old girl is as big as Tara Reid?

Maybe that was her disease. She had the Jack disease or something like that. Wow, that's why she's in the hospital. Maybe that was her disease. She had the Jack disease or something like that. Wow, that's why she's in the hospital. She had Jack disease. Hey, you got Jack. Didn't you think that they set up very clearly that the son, Mark McGrath's son,

has a photographic memory and also something else. Never paid that off. Never paid off, no. Yeah, yeah. Mark McGrath also. I didn't get any of these relationships. I don't get why I had to falling out. That's what I'm saying.

I didn't get why they were getting married. I can explain it. I can explain it, but it's not gonna be compelling. Who were the women who were with? Okay, so Mark McGrath. On Staten Island. Okay, so Mark McGrath is married to Carrie War.

Carrie War. Who I love. Okay. Back at remote control. Carrie War is Ian Ziering's little sister. Got it. Okay, Ian Ziering and Mark McGrath used to be best friends growing up and they call themselves

What was dynamic do a dynamic do but he was a Robin? Okay, Batman Robin and that Robin Robin Robin Robin to roll Is that a giraffe or a Robin guys you have to know that when we do this podcast we all are reading from transcripts so sometimes But yeah, I amhring decides to hate mark mograph because he starts fucking his sister his little sister okay so they have never gotten along since high school never spoken since vivica a fox they had a love affair in high school but her dad did not her dad didn't approve so ian dumped her and started dating the cheerleader to every by the way that she was

White is that is that? Implied wait wait wait so Vivica Fox and Tara Reid knew each other Yes, well here's the question all went to high school to get Vivica Reid and Tara or Vivica Fox and Tara read are 16 years apart Who in life actual age in actual life age. But I mean she says oh you're cheerleader. So I'm assuming she was a cheerleader at the same school. I think she was not. I think that he went off to do whatever he does. He was a professional surfer. She was a cheerleader at his surfing events. Oh, maybe. Okay. He started boning down.

Yeah, cuz he does say that to Vivica Fox. He was like I thought I was a hero. I was I loved the crowds and all the adoration basically is what he's saying. That's a great monologue So many crowds at surfing competitions But yeah, and then the other women who is it who are curry wars Kari Warr's friends? I don't know that one. They're just there to be shark fodder. They literally show up and go, hey girl, and then they get eaten one more time. But that's my question is like, what is this weekend?

Is it a girls' weekend in New York City where they're all getting together? Like, let's all go see the Statue of Liberty together. Maybe it's like everybody's excuse is that they're gonna have to, they're gonna be there for- Guys, Kelly and Michael. I just wanna bring this up, I'm sorry, because we're talking about age.

So, Ian Ziering and Vivica A. Fox, both 50. Age appropriate. Yes. Tara Reid, 38. So when they started dating out of high school, Tara Reid was 8 years old. Like I mean, like... Okay, maybe it was that then. Maybe it was that.

She was an 8 year old that he was into, a little cheerleader cheering at softball games. Maybe. Okay, so... Yes. So they're all there for... For something. Okay, because here's the thing. They also, it seems like Mark McGrath and Carrie, what's her phase? Were. Were. Are in New York City maybe for the first time. I know you said they were there. I don't think they were. I guess so. No, I think you're right. They're not there for the first time. Because

they're going to the best games. People who paid more attention are shouting at their Yeah, you're right, you're right. Yeah, they live, they live, no, no. It just seems like this weekend. Because Ian Ziering is from New York, like he grew up there. Then he must be too, then Mark McGrath and the sister must be as well.

No, I know what it is. Mark McGrath, Curry Wurr and Ian Ziering are all from New York, but Curry Wurr's friend is visiting, that's why they're going to the Statue of Liberty. But Vivica A. Fox is also from New York. Okay. So that, so she's taking- So this is just a co, okay.

It's just a total, it's just a weird thing that they happen to be in the- Yeah, and they're going to the baseball game, and they're like, go take your dumb tourist friend to the Statue of Liberty, we're gonna go to the baseball game, we'll meet up with you guys later. I think that that's what it was.

Okay, okay, whew. Well, we answered that question. Although she does say to her daughter, I remember the first time I saw the Statue of Liberty, implying this is the- Liberty? Liberty, you are the worst today. This is the first time I said Liberty. Well, say Liberty instead of Liberty.

No, you said Liberty. Rewind the tape, rewind it. Did you mean Liberty? The first time I saw the Statue of Liberty was- Well, but she's 15 years old. How many times time I saw the Statue of Livery was... Um... She's 15 years old. How many times do you see the Statue of Liberty in your life? Even if you live there. If you live there, I don't know. I would assume you have seen it already.

I mean, how many times did you go when you lived in New York? Oh, I went every weekend. Really? We were also trying to help the woman who's frozen in that statue. I was worried. You tried to wear off the spell, but it never worked. I also every weekend would go and hold a red rose at the top of the Statue of Liberty just to see if anybody was looking for me.

Because I told someone many, many years ago that I would be on the Statue of Liberty holding a red rose on Saturday. Guys, Vivica A. Fox at one point motivates the son, Mark McGrath's son, to do a heroic deed by kissing him. She kissed everybody in this movie. By doing the Star Wars reference. Yes. But I thought that was weird because I would, as a young kid, I don't know if I'm like super like getting motivated. It's very strange. It's also like she she can't get Ayn's earring sloppy seconds so now she's going for like 12-year-old boy.

Yeah, it was a little weird. I was very upset by her costume, too. In what manner? Her camo pants? She looked like Trinity from The Matrix. She looked like... It was very strange. I actually thought, oh, at one point,

because I really wasn't paying a lot of attention, to be honest. Well, all the wardrobe was done at Old Navy, by the way. At one point, I was like, oh, she's a lesbian, and that's a part of the story. I thought so, too. And that's great. And that's great.

And that's interesting. And I got those cues from that outfit. I didn't know what was going on. And then when I started to realize, oh, my god, they're supposed to be love interests. That's insane. Why wouldn't they dress her? Because an attractive woman wouldn't dress like that?

Is that what you're trying to say, June? Wow, wow, June, wow. Wow, wow. Okay, what I'm trying to say is she's... A heterosexual woman wouldn't wear camel pants. No, I agree. There was nothing about her that seemed like, yes. If she's the love interest, lesbian or no, like any love interest, why would she be put in that clothing?

Who knows? Don't you think she had some say in the fitting? Like... I do. No. Yes, I do. She was wearing a magenta V-neck top. She's like, I'm out to hunt sharks. I think she was like, I want to be dressed like a badass

who's going to kick ass at sharks. Not like I want to be all girled up sexy for IMZ. That's only part of the story. Although she did go to the baseball game in order to lure him into her bed. Yes. You are right. She didn't go there with the intention of killing him. The first time after seeing him him 32 years later, the first thing she does is kiss him deeply on the lips.

Yeah, after putting on a pair of camo pants like these are gonna get him. By the way, wasn't, wasn't, didn't she say, I don't know if I'm misremembering it. Oh, he might be lost. I'm gonna go look for him. Oh, you're gonna go look for, he he might have forgotten where our seats are by the way He has a ticket to be remembered. He has a ticket Yes, and when he sees her he then says where are the guys and she goes? Let me show you where the seats are yeah, he has a ticket Yeah, what is he so stupid that everyone thinks he does and he is so stupid Yes, he doesn't just look down at the ticket and see where the seats are but then also worried about the sharks yeah he's doesn't seem that worried you know what he's not at all concerned with the fact that his

wife's hand just got eaten off he never tells anybody they're like yeah where is she whats her name and he's like she's fine she's fine something happened but she's fine well something happened her arm was bitten off by a shark. Yeah hand I think but did you notice that? Cuz she screams my hand my hand You're really still maintaining that the arm that it doesn't make any fucking sense. I don't think I mean I agree that that's better Than what they are you know you I? Really that makes more sense if they had shot it that way. If the text supported that.

That is what happened. But do you notice that when they're at the Statue of Liberty and they hear about, oh my god, there was this huge plane emergency landing, they go, oh my god, we have to call Tara Reid and Ian Ziering. They call, everyone's wrapped with the tension of like, are they okay, are they okay? Carrie Wehrer immediately says, oh my gosh, are you all right? Her daughter goes, what happened? She goes, oh, she was in an accident, she's fine.

Like they're all wondering, was she on this plane thing? You know what else happens in this movie all the time? People are able to participate in conversations that other people are only having on the phone. Yes. So like I am Ziering is talking to this movie exists in a world where there's no social media, no cell phones, no. There's also a thing where, where I am Ziering is talking to Carrie water on the phone, I

think. And Tara Reed is participating in the conversation as if she can hear Carrie war's dialogue. But yes. Right. And it's like, I kept being like, how, why is she answering? in the conversation as if she can hear Kerry War's dialogue. But yes. And it's like, I kept being like, why is she answering? She can't hear what's being said. This is a private conversation between people over there on the phone.

Yeah. Whatever. Guys, can we just get into when the director, the magical day on set when the director said, hey, Judd, why don't you just improvise some stuff, and we'll keep the camera rolling on you. Yeah, Judd Hirsch, by the way, plays a taxi driver. He's not Alex Rieger. Just improvise some stuff and we'll keep the camera rolling on you. Yeah, Judd Hirsch by the way plays a taxi driver

Keep going But they clearly Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do You have to trust your director if he's going to say improv a little that he's going to leave some of the bad stuff on the cutting room floor. Everybody being like, we need more Hirsch. This is a movie that not only has Matt Lauer and Al Roker, two of the biggest stars in the film, doing weather segments, but they cut to two other. The Weather Channel has a segment and then there's another guy. What's weird about all of the weather reporting is that it's a lot of like, there's a lot of universal cross-platform. And what's weird about all the weather reporting is that it's a lot of like there's a storm coming There's gonna be two inches of sharks on the ground. Two inches of sharks on the ground. They kept saying that. That's one shark?

I couldn't figure that out at all. What does two inches mean? Two inches of shark would be like the bottom two inches of a shark's body? I'm gonna tell you that that thing made me not want to watch Weather Channel because I felt they were really gimmicky with their shark shit. Yeah. I was like, you know what? Oh, their shark graphics too were terrible. Terrible. And she treated it as if it was like, oh, we are familiar. It's like we already have the graphics built for Sharknado.

It's like we are in here. Right, right, right. But they kept on saying that this was impending. Like all of the reporting on the Sharknado was like, it's about to happen. And it couldn't have been going on I mean it was had already been happening there were four in the morning there were three Sharknado's that combined all on Independent sharknado yes independent man is shirking it is all on Manhattan while people are being like this would be a bad storm with no

Reason and there's and that that to me is like the laziest thing about this film like there wasn't like oh there was an earthquake oh there was a something there it just it didn't have any of the setup that the first one just one line yes and I did feel during this viewing like you know this is actually a you out of viewing yes I was you screening is Jack Nicholson Lara Fumboil you started to feel actually like what we're fighting in this movie is all wrong. People are fighting the sharks, and the sharks are innocent victims

of what is a very strange weather event. Well, yeah, it's global warming. It's global warming, and it's something strange. Some environmental effect. So who was the villain in your eyes? Obama. Yeah. Duh. Honestly, your eyes? Obama. Yeah. Duh.

Honestly, we should, humans. Humans. Yeah. It's more like a human NATO. In a way, but it was at one point I was like, wow. People are really like gonna be very, this is gonna have an effect. Sharknado is a huge now like pop culture event.

This is what's gonna happen. What effect is it gonna have though? Well, I scuba dive. Okay. Oh wait, hold on, hold on. Here we go. Hold the phone. Yes, and there are shark attacks because humans get too close to where sharks have their natural habitats. And then we blame them like there are many bear attacks for just behaving like bears and behaving like sharks. Bears behaving badly. Exactly. Well I think what's actually happening though is sharks are coming closer to land because

the water is warmer where it shouldn't be. And that's true too. And it's the same thing with bears. Bears, because they're running out of food sources in the wild, are having to come down into town. So we need to make more honey. And also campers leave their garbage everywhere too. What is your point on this? My point is that at the end of the movie, the big climax is people getting guns and

at one point someone takes out a pitchfork to kill the sharks. Yes, machine guns to kill the sharks. As though they're the problem. As though they're the problem. When it's like hey, they've been lifted up out of the water. Let's turn your air conditioner off after 7pm. I don't know much about sharks. I don't know much about sharks. I don't know much about sharks, June.

Do you scuba dive? Yes, he does. I do scuba dive. Okay, so both of you scuba dive, so I'm gonna take what you have to say serious. All right, well here's my thing. After the first sharknado and the second one, I'm guessing we're kinda running out of sharks.

Right, is that? No. I mean, there was thousands of sharks. 93% of the ocean floor is unexplored okay there have so many sharks and you guys know what phrase fucking like sharks oh yeah you know like all they do is fuck I know everybody's like oh do piranha on this show but fucking piranha at least had a you know what they've taken you this many episodes to address this.

I want you to say it now. Guys, they gave you a reason for these fucking piranhas. Which is, there was, yes, there was a drill. A fish year. A drilling, there was a core, there was a drill, and they went in and they opened up another world. And that's why it will never be done on this show. Because it makes fucking sense.

Because it adds up. It is quality movie. Jerry O'Connell, amazing. Finger Am quality. It adds up. It adds up. Jerry O'Connell, amazing. Finger Amps, amazing. Adam Scott, top notch. Elizabeth Shue, on point. Paul Sheer, stealing scenes right and left. Survives.

Porn stars, British models, we had it all. This movie wishes it was piranha. Alex Asha, genius, working with Daniel Radcliffe in a movie called horn see it at Christmas You'll know what about prana three double D though talk about that later, okay? Great time working with big wrench. I Think that every woman has a butt implant every woman Yeah, I only wish are you sure he wasn't saying every woman he would like to implant in their butt?

Maybe he just was phrasing it incorrectly? I think this movie was less successful to me. I really do. I agree. Here's my issue. I think the sense of threat was not as palpable. I think they were more jokey about it. They were just looking for buzzy scenes.

There was a sense of danger in the first one. I thought the sharks were taken out of it in this sense. They didn't have the threat of sharks. In the first one, remember there were scenes where they were trapped in like waist-high in water when there were sharks? It seemed like it was like, oh shit, what the fuck is worse than sharks being around?

But like a lot of sharks. And this one, it just seemed like it was weathered NATO. Right, it did seem like, they didn't seem fazed by it. It was like, oh, okay, here's a hundred sharks, mom. Take out my gun, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. No sense of fear of like, what if this happened to you? Which is how a lot of horror movies survive, of like, this just seemed like spectacle. And they didn't put it through someone's eyes that had an experience.

If I were writing the movie, what I would have done was really tease out Finn thinking he's seeing sharks for like a while. Like three hours. For three hours. See, and by the way, this is just, this is a taste of what we would have done. What we are going to do.

That's all I'm gonna say, because I don't wanna. This is a taste of what we would have done. Once we finish production on Nundercover, we are going to do. That's all I'm gonna say because I don't wanna I don't wanna have to do this. This is a taste of what we would have done. Once we finish production on Nundercover, we are going into Sharknado, our version of it. Let's write a script, let's write a script. How, I mean, it's gotta be better than this one, right? If we each wrote 20 pages of a script, we could do it.

Let's do it. I would definitely do it. And then do a live reading of it on the podcast. Now, I mean, maybe your listeners don't know, but we did a Rocky versus Rambo script. We don't know if you read it. I did read it. Where we split it up, it your listeners don't know, but we did a Rocky versus Rambo script. Yes, I did read it. Where we split it up, it was Harris Whittles and Paul Rust and Neil Campbell and Mike Cassidy and Coolop.

We all split it up and did 20 pages. It's a masterpiece. It's out there online if you want to read it. We're going to do a live reading at some point, I'm sure. I think we should write a Sharknado 3. We should write a Sharknado. I think we could all handle 20 pages. Sharknado 3, Pig in the City.

The one thing I did want to talk about, just because it wasn't even really addressed, but that bag that Vivica Fox carried around, the, it was Yolo Bus? No, I didn't notice this. It was like Yolo, oh, Yolo R Us. Like she went shopping at a place called Yolo R Us. Because she said she went to a toy store. Oh, so it was a Toys R Us font.

Oh, but they couldn't use Toys R Us. So they called it Yolo R Us? Oh boy. Yikes. And wait, she just got a bag? Oh no, she got a slingshot there. She got a slingshot there. And yeah, Vivica A. Fox seemed unfazed by the sharks,

unfazed by dying., unfazed by dying. Because she was heartbroken. She was ready to go. Yeah, I guess she was ready to go. She was ready to sacrifice her life. Yep, and does. And does. She does, right?

Wait, did she die? She split in half when, oh yeah, when she and Ion Ziering go to the top of the Empire State Building and attach themselves with maximum electricity to the Freon tanks that are gonna then be hit by lightning and explode into the tornado, sharknado, nullifying it with the explosion. Both of them are electrocuted and

launched into the sharknado where she is instantaneously sawed in half by a flying shark. Yeah. Would have been better if the chainsaw had gotten her. Yeah, that would have been good. By the way, why don don't they have those sharks what are the ones that have like needles cut like the ones that look like they're a chainsaw is that a shark that or is that a swordfish yeah swordfish yeah haven't you done swordfish on this show no we should that's a good that's a good one yeah strange too was like I would also have thought somewhere along the way that New Yorkers were either the story would be that they were scared to fight back or

No, no, you don't do this to New York. Yeah, but The reason they start fighting but I couldn't surmise like why now why all of a sudden why here why now? I'm by right now taking like out there pitch for pitch forks and totally shot in LA on us on a like a back lot Those are the first how are they allowed to have these machine guns in the back of their trunk? It's New York. Just because it's act of God, you're able to shoot machine guns into the air

if this happens? I think it's because of Ian's earring speech. June is mixing a shrug with a yawn. His speech from the top of the Fire truck. Fire truck? That speech is literally to 15 people. Yes, I know. But he says to must mean is televised. Literally to 15 people. Yes, I know. And but he says to them,

It was televised. What he does say to them is, I saw it during the movie Sharknado 2. He says to them, you better get ready because when I, basically when I turn off the Sharknado, all the sharks are gonna fall to earth. Which they have been doing already from what I can see. And shit's gonna get cray.

You know, he basically says that to Robert Klein the mayor. Yeah, and and then it happens He like I shut down the sharknado and everybody's like, yeah And then like all the sharks are plummeting to earth and everybody's like, oh no And that's when they go to their trunks and pick up everything that's violent by the way. He just said get ready Why don't they go to their trunks? Anyway, yeah, by the way, this is a bad day for Robert Klein as a mayor I mean first he can't stop his leg and then wow really deep cut on a Robert Klein stand-up routine I also was blown away you had me I was also blown I was so blown during the course of this movie. Yeah, bruh. I was blown away when Tara Reid affixed a buzzsaw blade to her stumped arm, goes to

the top of the Empire State Building and cuts a shark in half with her hand stump. Hand stump, exactly. Not an arm stump. I don't even really understand how it was, she had the gun in her hand. Stop, she picked me off. She had a gun and a ring on the guard So but yet, I don't know how she worked that that that was a very quick helped She says I might need your help. She attached it to her nerve endings. You never see Skywalker Yeah, you never see her actually turn on the thing with her other hand. She just like

When he rides the shark in midair, I really was. But you're right, 100% it should have been surfing. Can I say I was excited when they brought out the sword though? When they bought a sword. Oh, that was fun too. I was like, oh good, someone's going to attack a shark with a sword. I loved when they were like, I loved when they, because this is the other thing, like, there's also like, part of the beauty of Sharknado 1 was watching them come up with the solutions. And this one, he's like, okay

I need smoke detectors flares propane tanks and duct tape and they're like great this they walk into a bodega Where there are all of everything? Yeah, there are loose flares What they say before they even go into that bodega is like we're in Times Square, we're gonna find Everything it's got everything It's the crossword find it here. What else there's one shelf that on the top shelf is smoke detectors Which he needs and on the bottom shelf is loose flares Which he also by the way how great would it have been if the guy on the pizza place was actually is he? What Bismarck he mean will your Bismarck he if that was actually vivid a Fox's father is like What Bismarck he mean will your Bismarck he if that was actually Vivica a Fox's father is like oh

By the way, that's what it could have been if you fucking assholes had let us write this movie We don't even have to do the bones of it because we didn't do a pass do a pass that would have made more sense Other than just like you like cameo bits. Come on Scott will you come back next year and look I'm here. I'm here every August I will make time for this alright Well, we I we there's no Amazon reviews to read this just came out last night as a matter of fact We're releasing it the day after we are releasing it right as so as much as you can get it You're getting it or we putting this out today today. It's Yeah, very exciting for everybody there. So everybody, I mean, look at this, just a little extra.

Yeah, so enjoy it all as it replays for the rest of the month on Syfy Network. They started playing first Sharknado right after this. Yes. And I watched a couple minutes of that. Oh, by the way, Jared never dies. I wanted to bring that up. Jared Subway? Clearly Subway gave them some money, and they're like, he't there's subway product placement all over this well as Coors Light

Yes, yeah And he says something like when you guys gonna start eating fresh and then sharks came by and Jared I guess subway sandwiches Are the ultimate repellent yep? No, what oh yeah this movie followed the kind of it had a number of ploddy kind of things Which is which I felt like they wanted to do But then couldn't really which is like one of them was Nobody believes I am Zering nobody believes the guy who's saying the bad thing is coming, but it already happened But it was there and that's what I couldn't figure out why was he was flooded

Why were people skeptical when obviously sharks were falling? Again, it brings up the idea that no one's communicating a whole subway line is flooded Yes, and it doesn't then it doesn't translate There's a guy still in his apartment at the very end of the movie How is there is why is the shark that attacks them in the subway tunnel? Able to bite the entire rear of a subway car off like these sharks are also enormous Well, they're being thrown at a very high velocity. Yeah, I guess that's it. It's the the velocity I did want to bring up this one part. It's near the Judd Hirsch cab part.

There's clearly a rip of an ACDC song, but it's not an ACDC song. And it's amazing. It's almost like one note. It's like, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink. All right, so. Wait, keep it going.

I'm here in white. Terri Reed, that's Terri Reed's theme early on in the going. I'm here in white! Tara Reade, that's Tara Reade's theme early on in the film. I'm here in white! And, okay, so when Judd Hirsch's taxi is flooded and the sharks are running around, they're able to jump away using a rope. Everybody escapes but Ian Ziering, except for Judd Hirsch who's eaten by a shark. But, Ian Ziering has no rope left and there's sharks swimming all around him all around Yeah, between him and where Mark McGrath is and he and Mark McGrath at the exact same time have the exact same idea

Which is? Frogger they both say Frogger to themselves and then I and Zering jumps on top of multiple sharks But boom boom boom boom and then jumps all the way across the street to where Mark McGrath is safe. Which I thought Frogger was about avoiding cars. It was avoiding cars. It's not about jumping on frogs. But nobody jumped on alligators. Willey pads?

Alligators. Alligators. I did? Alligators. He didn't jump on sharks, so you proved my point. He jumped on wood, and you had to avoid jumping on a shark. Wood is not the same thing as a shark. But still, there was that, and there was the bait and switch,

where there was flaming sharks from above and water sharks from below in the stairwell. And they had to do the old bait and switch so they can grab the miniature axe. But Mark McGrath didn't. He was like, hey, look over here, look over here. And he and Ian Ziering were standing next to each other. There's a lot.

There was no shark near the axe. I want to bring up when Vivica Fox and Mark McGregor, no, and Ian Ziering were in the elevator. They kept inching forward to the blocking was such that they're in a tiny elevator, but one would have a line and they couldn't just stand next to each other in a static elevator. So they kept like moving in front of each other subtly till they were like basically at the front door of the elevator. Watch that scene again and they just keep subtly trading places and getting in front of each other.

Well, if someone can explain to me on the corrections and omissions why when Mark McGrath jumped through that 42 he was really psyched. I didn't get that either. I felt like that was a reference to something. Jumped through a 42? Yeah, he jumped through a 42 at the city field. Anything to plug, Scott? Yeah, Comedy jumped through a 42 at the city field anything to plug Scott

Yeah, comedy bang bang season 2 DVD is out there five and a half hours of extra video bonus footage plus commentary on every episode Yeah like that nice work Jason if you Want to see a really funny movie rent they came together.
