Its my understanding that they edit a lot, if not most, of their VOD movies.

I love I when they riff a movie I found in some bargain bin or video dump somewhere back in the early aughts. I was deep into my bad, Japanese toku phase when I found this gem. I'd bet I've seen the first 10 minutes of the long version 20 times but the ending just twice. 

Pros: I kinda dig the opening scene, it's a decent setup for a disaster flick, it has a "name" cast and Glen Ford is a fucking legend.

Cons: it isn't a good movie.

That said, it's a funny riff, and I'm guessing they "sat on this riff" for a few years because they found or recorded it during Covid. Related, yet ultimately unimportant: Drop the Grimtrax trigger warning. Comedy, in general, has an inherent trigger warning. Solid into though!

Tadd: My man.
