Episode 24: Underwater Slaughter

 

In our season 2 finale, Slate takes us underwater to explore all of the things that live down deep and want to eat you. From deep sea adventure films to the radiation monster movies of the 50s to the first summer blockbuster of all time, we'll explore squids, crocodiles, sharks and piranhas in the movies. This is the episode to ruin your summer!
