About this episode

Tsunami + Underwater Supermarket + Sharks = the bonkers plot of 2012's Bait 3D (aka Bait). LIVE from the Nantucket Film Festival, Paul, June, & Jason dive into the upstairs/downstairs sharks, Bully the dog's attempted murder, the A-Team style shark cage suit, the questionable accents, and the logic of choosing a supermarket for your last big robbery. Is this movie a "well-polished upper"? Tune in to find out!
