GBW #24: Just When You Thought It Was Safe... (Piranha / Orca: The Killer Whale / Cruel Jaws)

<p>Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!</p> <p>On this week's episode, as there are a couple more weeks of summer left, Chris and Ryan look back on the knockoffs and imitators of the summer blockbuster that started it all: <strong>Steven Spielberg</strong>'s "<strong>Jaws</strong>." We start with 1978's "<strong>Piranha</strong>," the <strong>Joe Dante</strong>-directed, <strong>John Sayles</strong>-penned, and <strong>Roger Corman</strong>-produced monster flick that has enough wit and point-of-view of its own to stand out amongst the pack. Then, we move into 1977's "<strong>Orca: The Killer Whale</strong>," in what we could only really describe as an industrial film that accidentally made it to theaters, before finally wrapping up with schlockmaster <strong>Bruno Mattei</strong>'s infamous king-of-all-knockoffs shark epic: 1995's "<strong>Cruel Jaws</strong>."</p> <p>You can find this and future episodes on our website&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thegoodbadwhat.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thegoodbadwhat.com</a>.
