Description
The boys are back after a #Fortnight on the road. Brandon enjoyed a couple weeks in Scotland and Steve was off gallivanting around Utah and Arizona. Sadly, the "King of the B-Movies," Roger Corman, passed away while we were on holiday, so we'll be dedicating the rest of May to his career, in a series we'll be calling, "There MAY Be Boobs." Steve takes a deep dive into Roger Corman's career and we'll review one of the more well-thought-of Corman Creations, 1978's Piranha. Kids vanish after they trespass onto a "secret" military site on which "secret" experiments are conducted. Maggie McKeown, a bulldog of a skip tracer, ropes a down-on-his-luck drunk, Paul Grogan, into helping her locate these missing teens. Her own brazen disregard for the law and pulling levers without contemplation of the consequences leads to a plethora of deadly critters being dumped into a local recreational waterway. Coincidentally, Paul's daughter is attending a summer camp on that very lake. What are the odds? Now Paul must race to rescue his daughter, who has a fear of water, has no interest in going in the water, and will never enter the water under any circumstances. Can he do it? Piranha Final Grades Steve: Doesn't comprehend the cult status of this movie. Think a better product could have been put together if Corman himself had been more involved. But, he also doesn't want to give a Sub-2.0 grade to the recently deceased. 2.47/5 Brandon Uninteresting story construction. Dialog and acting didn't help elevate it. This movie was "pretty bad." The worst Roger Corman movie we've seen as a part of this podcast. Adding an extra couple tenths of a point for all the Skinemax movies of the early '90s that he didn't know Corman produced. 1.31/5 Cocktail of the Week: Piranhas In The Water, another Brandon Creation 2 oz Ruby Port Wine 1 oz Dark Rum 1/2 oz Orange Liqueur 1 oz Pineapple Juice A couple spurts of honey syrup Top with coconut water. Mix all ingredients other than coconut water in a mixing glass over ice. Strain into Collins glasses. Garnish with orange twist and skewered Swedish Fish. Cocktail Grade: Not bad for random liquids thrown into a glass. Mostly tastes like the Port Wine. It is red, though, so it looks like bloody water. Needed bubbles. Was better after adding some club soda for round two. 2.69/5.1 ------------------ Contact us with feedback or cocktail/movie recommendations to: [email protected] X: @boozeandbmovies Instagram: @boozeandbmovies Threads: @boozeandbmovies www.facebook.com/boozeandbmovies --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boozeandbmovies/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boozeandbmovies/support
