0:00.0 | Over time, the animal Attack subgenre became one of the most popular and lucrative in horror. |
0:28.6 | So, naturally, these movies became a dime a dozen through the 21st century, particularly |
0:34.6 | in the era of streaming and straight to TV filmmaking. |
0:39.4 | Studios like The Asylum cashed in on the popularity of existing horror films and franchises |
0:44.7 | to make low-budget B-movies for high profit, sparking a wave of other filmmakers and studios |
0:51.8 | trying to do the same. |

1:58.6 | towards the end of the series, I felt it fitting to cover at least two kind of |
2:03.4 | schlocky B movies in the subgenre that is perhaps most packed with schlocky B movies. So we're |
2:09.6 | going to be discussing Shark Nado from 2013 and Zom Beavers from 2014. Both of these discussions will be spoilorific, I guess. So give them a watch, |
2:21.6 | I guess, if you don't want to be spoiled. So joining me to discuss these movies. Well, he is a very |
