After being excited, or at least somewhat intrigued, from the trailer react, I finally checked out 2024's SHARK WARNING ! It has bikini babes, buff dudes, and bad CGI Sharks, but is it enough to warrant a watch? Or is it a warning to avoid at all costs?

Toxic Shark? You don't know toxic until you hear my review! This week I let my toxic masculinity out as I review 2017's TOXIC SHARK. A bunch of sexy people get butt hurt by feelings, and then a dang shark comes along to ruin everything. I think there's suppose to be an environmental message in here but I stopped paying attention until there were boobs, abs and butts on the screen. Check out our fr...

Year 3 of Bucket of Chum and week 3 of Attack of the Sequels: The Sequel Month is here! This week, I FINALLY review one of the most infamous sharksploitation movies to ever grace the screen. Poorly composited shark attacks, terrible dialogue, and bewbs, Shark Attack 3: Megalodon takes the series to new bizarre depths. Starring John Barrowman (Doctor Who, Torchwood, Arrow) and Jenny McShane (Shark...

In this episode of Bucket of Chum: The Shark Movie Podcast , I sink my teeth into Jurassic Shark 3: Seavenge ! And it's a Polonia movie! Sure, it’s low-budget and full of questionable creative choices, but damn it, I love this stuff. Who doesn’t want more sharks, more revenge, and more over-the-top Sharksploitation madness? This movie delivers all that—and then some. Join me as I break down the ca...

YEAR 3, BABY!  We’re kicking off another Attack of the Sequels Month with a deep dive into 5-HEADED SHARK ATTACK! And no, you didn’t miss 4-Headed Shark Attack—because it doesn’t exist. (SyFy, you’re really leaving money on the table here!) This week, it’s all about bikini babes, buff dudes, and bonkers bad CGI in this classic SyFy Channel and Asylum concoction. Five heads? Five times th...

Plus, I’ll recap the shows where I had the honor of being a guest!...

Based on the hit video games and TV Show THE LAST OF US , comes CHUM! After a dumb ass loses a cooler of re-animated shark....things, well that's when things turn up to 11! Puppet sharks, boobs and a barrel of laughs, CHUM has something for the whole family (DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS WATCH THIS, STUPID) Cheesy effects and a ridiculous plot. But will it help subdue what seems to be an everlasting rage a...

Some incident happens, and then, shark attacks? There's also some scientists for a second. One of them is played by BRINKE STEVENS ...so there's that. After doing a trailer react to APEX PREDATORS 2: THE SPAWNING , and thinking it looked like a good time, I moved this one up the schedule. Was it worth it? Watch now to see how long I can contain my, what seems like everlasting, rage in this week's...

What happens when an Atomic Shark bites an influencer? She turns into a mean, mean, lady. Shark like teeth and a bad attitude won't keep her safe when her friends discover what she's become. They'll put their "skills" to good use, but who else is out there lurking around... Also the influencer lifestyle just looks insufferable. Also also, F*ck Ron. Listen now to hear my thoughts on one of the late...

This week, the sun is shining, the water is cool, and the sand is riddled with prehistoric (but also not prehistoric) sand sharks! No, not sand sharks , SAND SHARKS , sharks that swim through the sand! The plot feels eerily similar to Peter Benchley 's JAWS , which may not be a bad thing. But this is no Great White Shark this time. Starring Brooke Hogan  ( 2-Headed Shark Attack ), and Corin N...

Recently, Renny Harlin has disappointed fans around the world with The Strangers: Chapter 1 . From a man who did Die Hard 2  and Cliffhanger, 25 years ago we thought again about going in the water. This year marks 25 years of arguably one of the BEST sharksploitation  movies ever made, DEEP BLUE SEA! Does this movie stand up to JAWS ? A stacked cast and practical effects are all we neede...

Rubber suit monster, blood AND boobs? Yes please! This week I checked out GRAVEYARD SHARK (2024) ! Thanks to MAD ANGEL FILMS  for sending me this screener. An urban legend, and a gross secret in a small town. Abbey and Greg, Monster Hunters, take on their biggest for yet, with a creature born out of foolish desires, can they stop the graveyard shark before it kills again? Listen now and see i...

Why I keep subjecting myself to terrible movies I have already seen, I will never know. But I guess it's better with friends, and this week I'm joined by Josh from SUPER SCARY , and we go international. While the movie has been renamed to PSYCHO SHARK , the original title JAWS IN JAPAN  is what I prefer to go by (but neither title makes any damn sense). But certainly a JAWS movies this is not...

This week I check out another new shark movie (?) also from 2024, Something in the Water.  A destination wedding ruined by a shark attack, and reckless driving. But is there enough shark to justify this being a shark movie? Check out this week's review now about Something, something, something water, everyone sad. Check out our friends: Ouch! Was That A Ghost No More Late Fees And for more Bu...

Bonjour! This week, it's Eiffel towers, cheese and sharks in the city? Netflix has just released the latest sharksploitation thriller from France about a shark set loose in the Seine River in Paris. Directed by Xavier Gens ( Frontier(s) ), this movie has mixed reviews with some calling it the best shark movie since Jaws , while others are completely baffled and don't know what to think. And not to...

Seasick Cinema Episode 2 This week, I dug deep into the bucket and pulled out an oldie. This movie has Donna Wilkes  from Jaws 2  fame, and a haunted shark tooth necklace. This "movie" is a far departure from the director's Full Moon days. Director David DeCoteau  has given us Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama and  Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge . If you want to...

Kicking June off with a very special episode! This week, I was joined by author FAITH ROSWELL  to talk about her new book, MOVIE MONSTERS OF THE DEEP !
