In episode 163 of the Robcast, we begin our deep-dive into the works of James Cameron. You'll hear Robs Daniel and Wallis give an intro to the guy who directed the biggest and third biggest movies of all time, and then we get into the meat of the episode: a review of Cameron's debut movie, Piranha II: The Spawning. For this expedition, the Robs are joined by MJ Smith and Sarah Buddery, hosts of the wonderful podcast Let's Jaws for a Minute. Well, who better to deliver a verdict on Cameron's first fishy foray into film than the creators of a podcast about the ultimate fish movie? Piranha II comes a close second. We... we can't back that up.
During a discussion best described as "punchy," Sarah, MJ, and the Robs harpoon what has to be one of the shonkiest movies ever made. They discuss the film's fraught production, the weird porno vibe the film gives off, and ponder whether James Cameron is responsible for more of this than he'd like to admit. There is also discussion of the film's "hands on" executive producer, Ovidio G. Assonitis, who fired Cameron during production. Oh, and we discover what the Americans have instead of budgie smugglers. So, put on your respirators, it's time to get wet.
