‘The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time’: Jumping the dead shark!

Published

on

Here we are, back again in the land of eternal snark and every last cameo you ever laughed at, the movies that put the ‘fie’ back in the SyFy channel, the ridiculous combo of wind and sea and gnashing teeth, sharknado!

So, yes, the previous movie ended with Dolph Lundgren as Fin’s elderly son Gil saving the day, and sending Ian Ziering as Fin back in time Back to the Future style, so he can right past wrongs and save the world from sharknadoes one more time! And here, we’ve landed inevitably in dinosaur times, to endure the running of T-Rexes and riding Pteranadons, because this is obviously where the very first sharknado began, right? Well, not exactly. Time for flying into the time portal, to continue on saving the whole world!

Somehow after dinosaurs we’re in Arthurian-like times, complete with Alaska Thunderf*ck (don’t look at me that way, that’s her drag name) as Morgana la Fay and Neil Degrasse Tyson as Merlin, which makes total sense btw. Fin’s son Gil is of course a Knight of the Round Table and has been waiting for his parental units to show up for some time now, trying to prepare to do battle with the sharknado that’s always coming whenever Fin shows up. Of course Morgana has her own plans, as she always does, which doesn’t prevent her from getting “Byeeeeee!”-d her own damn self when battle with flying sharks begins!

And then we’re off to Colonial Times, because of course Fin and pals would be there right when Paul Revere rides by screaming, “The British are coming!” An inconvenient sharknado is being shadowed by the British, somehow led by Dexter Holland in British drag while ‘Come Out and Pay’ blares in the background, is headed this way and we have to convince, who else, ole Father Washington himself, and oh yeah, Hamilton too. Fan-squee for both historical figures rendered, and its all cannons pointed at the sharknado right now, buddy!

Inevitably next is the Old West and Billy the Kid, because what’s more patriotic than cowboys and guns? Fin gets himself landed in jail, ah-gain, right next to, oh hey, it’s Gil! Shocker. Dee Snider is the town Sheriff of all people, and another previously-believed-dead former castmate pops up to save the day just in the knick of time!

And that’s the real thing I think the majority of Sharknado fans enjoy, what we all tune in and play ridiculous spot-the-celebrity drinking games for, the cameos! Spot what’s-her-nutjob from ‘Dance Moms’ or Rupaul, everybody knows Rupaul, there goes Penn and Teller and the for-reals George R. R. Martin, Gary Busey was April’s dad and that explains a lot, and always and forever, Al Roker, as himself. These people who kept making these awful movies know perfectly well how terrible they are, and don’t skimp on the cheesy effects and oh so delightfully vague plots. Ziering has a bit of a perma-grin, even when Fin is at his deadliest save-the-world serious, as he lifts aloft a version of Excalibur that’s rather like a damn chainsaw!

Plenty of other time jumps and battles pop up, but we don’t need to spoil every last one of them. No time travel movie, sharknado or not, would be complete without the everything-is-as-it-should-be mega-happy ending, and Fin even gets to raise a glass with his entire extended family and all the friends he’s made in his sharknado-hunting travels. You too should raise a glass, make sure it’s full of alcohol for those ridiculous sharknado drinking games, to the end of a glorious run of flying shark movies in the best vein of eye-rolling so-bad-they’re-good SyFy movie tradition!

DISNEY+ CASTS DANIEL DIEMER AS FAN-FAVORITE ‘TYSON’IN SEASON TWO OF “PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS”

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
