Ep. 08-02: Tremors (1990)

TREMORS (1990)–In the isolated desert town of Perfection, Nevada, handymen Val and Earl stumble upon mysterious underground tremors that turn out to be massive, carnivorous worm-like creatures. As the town’s residents are picked off one by one, the survivors must band together, outwit the beasts, and find a way to escape. Mixing horror, humor, and inventive creature effects, Tremors is a thrilling and fun creature feature that became a cult classic.

Dig deep with us into subterranean horror with this 90s classic. We’ll examine the film’s blend of old-school monster movie charm and smart survival storytelling. We’ll discuss its tight pacing, clever script, and memorable cast. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys meets a suspicious seismologist with dusty maps, shaky ground, and a warning: there’s something alive beneath our feet—and it’s hungry.
