Look there's nothing wrong with an overgrown octopus pulling down the Golden Gate Bridge, there's nothing wrong with adorable giant bunnies gobbling up the townsfolk, but what if you got something more? What if you saw a killer animal movie that really got under your skin?

 

An early 70's AIP cheapie directed by someone mostly known for TV work seems like an unlikely candidate, but sometimes life surprises you. On this episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, Patrick revisits a track he recorded back in the halcyon days of 2017. Christ, you ever thought you'd be nostalgic for that first Trump year?

 

Armed with a six pack and a mortal fear of climate change he took a long look at this movie and asked the hard questions like: How weird is it that Sam Elliot was young(ish) once? Just who is responsible for all these wonderful squelching electronic sounds? And once and for all he lays out a massive rant about the concept of "so bad it's good" and how it's the realm of the coward.

 

Hey, he had a lot to drink.
