It's Shark Week! So of course we have to have 'Sharknado' writer Thunder Levin on the show to talk about the biggest TV hit of the summer! Among the things we'll be covering: where did the idea come from, why writer Sharknado but not 'Shark Storm' and the revelation of Ian Ziering as a big time action hero! Was anyone prepared for the Sharknado craze (could they ever be!?!)? Also, what's with all of the remakes and comic book adaptations and it is killing the movie going experience? Is VOD the new VHS? What's the story behind 'Mutant Vampire Zombies in the Hood' and how can we bring it back?!?
