Listen now
Description
The BallyBOO concludes for this year as Zach is joined by return guest Rashmi Menon (Ballyhoo Correspondent/ YBR Presents Co-Host) on a journey to deep in the heart of Texas where unspeakable mutants made by science terrify your soul as they dive into Ray Kellogg's 1959 Creature Feature, THE KILLER SHREWS. Hold onto your seat as the duo unpack the film's origins, shudder in terror as they walk through history of Kellogg and the films producer Gordon McLendon, repulse in agony as they dissect a simple and stupendous silly plot, and finally hop aboard the boat to safety with them while they discuss the many ways films like The Killer Shrews permeate cinema and pop culture to this day. PLUS: Zach and Rashmi write a country song. ---------------------------------------------------------- Discussed in today's episode is the Film Master's release of The Killer Shrews.
