Jake SerwinGUEST
No Piranha 2 The Spawning on anyone's ranking.
Jake SerwinGUEST
I haven't seen Piranha 2 The Spawning, unfortunately.
Jake SerwinGUEST
I haven't either.
Jake SerwinGUEST
That is
Jake SerwinGUEST
movie, right? Now you can say, I directed a movie, and that gets you the next one.
Jake SerwinGUEST
He should
Jesse NussmanHOST
remake Piranha 2.
Chris JerichoHOST
Right.
ShadieGUEST
And yesterday we watched, um, Piranha II, which I'd never seen.

Chris JerichoHOST
So which Piranha, what year is Piranha II?

Jay CluettHOST
A lot, we've seen a lot of people get eaten by various animals, and one thing that will strike, strike us is how repetitive they can be.
Jay CluettHOST
Like in the Piranha, not Aja's films, but in like the earlier Piranha films-
Mark HoffmeyerHOST
[laughs]
Jay CluettHOST
... it's just like people get eaten by piranhas.

Mark HoffmeyerHOST
He did Oxygen.
Mark HoffmeyerHOST
Like, this is a, a good DP.
Mark HoffmeyerHOST
And I think, I was thinking about Piranha 2 while watching this, and that's m- quite possibly one of the most gratuitous films, like mainstream theatrical releases with, like, nudity and violence.
Mark HoffmeyerHOST
But it has, like, an 80% Tomatometer score.
Jaden ChristopherHOST
I, I think I would probably put it at my least favorite as well.
Jaden ChristopherHOST
Um, even including Piranha II, because I, I just love cheesy, you know, '80s horror stuff.
Chris HaskellHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Jaden ChristopherHOST
Um, but that is interesting that there...
Jake BostonHOST
Pet Sematary 2, I wasn't the biggest fan of the first one.
Jake BostonHOST
Piranha 2, haven't seen the first one, and they're both sold out here.
Jake BostonHOST
Please Don't Destroy, interesting, interesting.
Jake BostonHOST
I'm a big fan of SNL movies.
Willie GibbsHOST
That's a defining factor.
Tim LongHOST
And then he's going to go up against the Flying Piranhas from Piranha 2.
Willie GibbsHOST
Ooh.
Willie GibbsHOST
Okay.

Willie GibbsHOST
I kind of like that I think you and I, I think we're both in agreeance that that's the weakest of these movies we've watched this summer.
Willie GibbsHOST
I think so too, right? And so I'm happy The Rock got some love.
Tim LongHOST
Because I thought Piranha 2 was better than I was expecting.
Tim LongHOST
Agreed.

He wants to direct.
Bill SimmonsHOST
They're like, "Who the fuck are you? You've made Piranha II.
Bill SimmonsHOST
That's not happening." Terminator comes out.
Bill SimmonsHOST
They're like, "You'd love to direct? [laughs] That sounds great."
Tim LongHOST
And number one, I haven't watched E.T. in so long.
Willie GibbsHOST
Is it Piranha 2? No.
Tim LongHOST
Piranha 2, I looked through the 20 that were available.
Tim LongHOST
Piranha 2 did not make it.
Tim LongHOST
Number one is First Blood.
Willie GibbsHOST
Oh, wow.
11 MINS LATER
Tim LongHOST
