About this episode

The episode discusses the 1978 film Piranha as part of Animal Attack August.

For our final film of Animal Attack August, we chose the 1978 Joe Dante film Piranha which asked the question "what if instead of one big Jaws there were lots of little Jaws?" Tune in next week when our movie will be... The Guyver.
