"They're under the ground!" Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian and Megs (Liam & B-Tech Kev weren't invited to Perfection) – as we're heading to the Nevada desert to dig into the cult classic monster mayhem of Tremors. We're dodging Graboids and figuring out how to survive in our 262nd episode as we discuss:

  • This film claims to be both comedy and horror but is it either?
  • We discuss the practical effects and how they hold up (save for one shot)
  • Did they choose the wrong character to be the protagonist in this film?
  • What makes an enjoyable horror film to the members of the pod?
  • Was the romantic storyline necessary?
  • Megs doesn't help her reputation of not having seen any films
  • Whether Tremors is the Best Film Ever
