First Look: Ghost Shark

Not content with shark-riddled tornadoes, Syfy will be bringing us Ghost Shark on August 22nd. Judging by the trailer, this bad mofo can even get you in the bathtub.



And yes, that was Bull from Night Court.

First Look: Sharks. Tornado. Sharknado.

For America's birthday SyFy gives us this, a trailer for SHARKNADO!



I really have nothing else to offer that wasn't already stated in the trailer. Be safe today, America!

July 11th is The Day The Sharknado Lands

Syfy has finally announced a release date for their next amazing creature feature: Sharknado! Starring Tara Reid, Ian Ziering, and John Heard, the premise is that a hurricane hits LA and sucks up a bunch of sharks and together they become the ultimate terror of nature: a SHARKNADO.

I mean, look at this still photo they've released to the NY Daily Post:



How can you not want to see that? Can't wait for the Sharknado? That's ok, SyFy's got you covered. In June, they'll knock your socks off with some STONADOS. According to SyFy, "All hail breaks loose when super-strength tornadoes hurl large stones over Boston."

So there you have it, wind is now throwing rocks and sharks at us. If only we had a weather dominator to keep Mother Nature in line.

First Look: Tasmanian Devils

Danica McKellar (The Wonder Years' Winnie Cooper) stars in this Syfy original movie.

Talking Bigfoot With Danny Bonaduce And Barry Williams

Does anyone ever get tired of Bigfoot? No, and you know why? Because Bigfoot is awesome! And you know what's even more awesome than Bigfoot all on his own? It's Danny Bonaduce (Danny) from The Partridge Family and Barry Williams (Greg) from The Brady Bunch facing off as rivals over Bigfoot! Are you freaking kidding me?! The Syfy Saturday Original Movie about a Bigfoot encounter gone mad premieres this Saturday June 30th at 9 PM. On top of that, Bigfoot also features Bruce Davison, Howard Hesseman, Alice Cooper, Billy Idol, Sherilyn Fenn, and Andre Royo and that cast alone should have you watching Saturday night.

But let's get real here: we're watching it for Danny and Greg.

I got a chance to sit in on a conference call with Danny Bonaduce and Barry Williams on Tuesday. Despite the movie plot's rivalry, the two had an obvious camaraderie and were extremely funny to boot. They discussed the other cast members, how doing the monster movie was both fun and grueling, and the sudden unexpected snow storm that appeared in the middle of shooting. As you can imagine this movie's premise is a popular one and there was a long queue to ask them questions, but I managed to squeeze in one from us here at Culture Brats:

Without giving away any spoilers, what was your favorite scene or activity that you worked on for this film?
Barry Williams: Top of Mount Rushmore with Danny's character taking a fall and I'm trying to, well I'm just holding... He's dangling over the edge and I'm just holding on and he's holding on to my arm. That was the highlight of the filming.

Danny Bonaduce: I gotta go with me and... oh man, I'm forgetting the guy's name at the moment. Do you remember the name of the guy that played the hunter, Barry? He's in a bunch of stuff. I think his name is Bubbles in a series he was on? Anyway, I was driving with him, I'm on the back of a very high-powered ATV, and we're going to ride out about the distance of two football [fields], turn right and then come around and head straight for the camera. So it's about a, I don't know, a five hundred yard dash. And right before we're about to do it both the general manager, the actor - whose name is going to come to me as soon I'm done with this, sorry about this - and Bruce the director say, "You just tell him where the camera is. You just find the camera for him." Now "find the camera" is an acting expression. Say I'm talking to Barry Williams and I'm at 6:00 o'clock and he's at 12:00 o'clock and the camera is also behind him at 12:00. I gotta lean over, I gotta find the sunlight. "Find the sunlight" is another expression, "find the camera." So he says, "You gotta help this guy find the camera." [Laughs] So I'm doing it but I can't figure out why I'm doing it because he's in the front of the ATV driving really fast; he can see everything I can see. So I'm going, "A little more to the right, a little more to the left. OK, now straight ahead, gun it!" and we start going really fast and I cannot for the life of me figure it out. And I shout, "Put on the brakes!" And he puts on the brakes. Turns out this man is stone blind without his glasses! [He and Barry laugh.] I'm not helping him "find the camera" as the acting expression. He can't see it! And we're going really fast on an ATV with empty but big guns! It was... really... I think that was my favorite; a lot of those things are your favorite scenes when they're over. As it was happening and they said, "Hey do you want to do that one again?" and I said, "NO! I think we're good with that!"

Barry Williams: Yeah.

Who Needs Miley? Billy Ray Cyrus Has Plenty Of Other Kids

Billy Ray will be teaming up with another one of his children, Trace, for an upcoming SyFy paranormal show. Yes, the channel that creates flicks like Mega Python vs. Gatoroid and plenty of other paranormal shows (Destination Truth, Fact Or Faked: Paranormal Files, and about 16 different Ghost Hunters shows) is giving Miley's Daddy a show.
