Dylan

Dylan, Sheldon, and special guest Sean O'Rourke dissect big-killer-animal flicks from 1995-1999, including Anaconda, Deep Blue Sea, Lake Placid, and the profoundly insane Congo. We try to develop a theory of why there was a boom in big-budget natural-horror at that historical moment, discuss the unexpected writers behind these screenplays, and learn some surprising facts about real-life man-eaters.
