Ep 132: Not So Special Effects (w/ Bad CGI Sharks' Jason Ellsworth)
Be it CGI or practical, sometimes there are FX in movies that are so bad, they take us right out of the experience!

In a rare non-celebratory episode, we welcome the co-writer/star/director of the hilarious flick, BAD CGI SHARKS, Jason Ellsworth to join us in a critical discussion on some of the LESS impressive FX we've seen in movies. These are the sequences that are so jarringly inadequate, they hit like a Mac truck, smashing any semblance of immersion to smithereens.
We each pick 2 examples of the worth effects we could think of and describe them in excruciating detail for your listening pleasure!
Aside from his truly great indie flick BAD CGI SHARKS, you can also catch Jason shouting about movies on the weekly YouTube show, MAJAMA JAMS!
