KEVIN GEEKS OUT ABOUT ANIMAL ATTACKS
A two-hour video variety
show of rare footage and pop culture commentary.
Comedian Kevin Maher presents an obsessive look at the Animal
Attack genre: from recent CGI beasts to the nature-gone-wrong films of the
Drive-In era. This two-hour multi-media show includes dozens of film clips
featuring crazed cats, angry bears, giant spiders, Freudian snakes, killer
cockroaches, a racist dog and much more. With special guest presentations by
Jon Abrams (Editor-in-Chief, Daily
Grindhouse), Wendy Mays (creator of SPACE CAT) Matt Glasson (filmmaker/editor/co-host, Kevin & Matt Geek Out About Zombies)
and Tom Blunt (film blogger and variety show host)
Plus Kevin hand-picked some of his favorite scenes from the
genre, including: the most pretentious animal incident, best gratuitous animal
attack, and cinema’s fakest reptile (hint: it’s not DinoCroc.)
