Disasters in the Making

Hosted ByBrad Slager and Paul Young

Entertainment writers Brad Slager and Paul Young deliver their shared desire for the worst Hollywood has to offer. Each week they cover an infamous bad film and go over not just the laughable content but the poor decisions behind the making of a disaster.

They will also toss in odd Hollywood news, ridiculous movie marketing, and recommend other newly released bad movies on streaming and elsewhere. Make a tub of high-quality popcorn and settle back for low-quality entertainment!

Disasters in the Making: DITM 08-13-26 There’s Blood in the Water, and Plenty of Thrash

There’s blood in the floodwater—and Brad Slager and Paul Young are diving straight into the feeding frenzy. In this episode of Disasters in the Making, the guys take on Thrash, the 2026 Netflix disaster movie that throws a hurricane, a flooded coastal town, bull sharks, family drama, and one remarkably inconvenient childbirth into the same churning waters.

Brad and Paul break down the film’s derivative premise, questionable hurricane science, underused sharks, baffling character decisions, and increasingly ridiculous survival sequences. Along the way, they explore the sprawling world of shark-exploitation cinema, compare Thrash with films like Crawl, and ask how a movie featuring flooded houses, exploding sharks, electric toothbrushes, dynamite-wrapped steaks, and a leaping great white can still feel strangely forgettable.

Grab a flotation device, suspend plenty of disbelief, and join Disasters in the Making for a spoiler-filled voyage through a shark movie that may have finally jumped itself.
