Mark and David Cross (itsMeDavidCross on X) discuss the 1978 creature feature Piranha. Directed by Joe Dante, and starring Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies, Dick Miller, and a bunch of hungry fish, the Roger Corman produced film is one of the best Jaws knock-offs ever made. In this episode, they also talk about the inspired special effects, Joe Dante's filmography, and where it stands amongst all the other Jaws knock-offs that were made in the 1970s and 1980s. Enjoy!
