Jaws taught us something we already knew\\u2014we\\u2019re scared of sharks. The Sharknado movies taught us that shark movies didn\\u2019t have to be good to be popular. Now, The Meg wants us to know that they don\\u2019t even have to have a good name, that people will buy tickets to a shark movie whose name they can\\u2019t even say out loud with a straight face.

You know what? It\\u2019s a scary world out there, and we don\\u2019t blame you if you\\u2019d rather just imagine us all being eaten by an extinct giant shark-like thing for a couple hours. No judgment here. So go to the theater, now that we\\u2019ve allayed your fears that The Meg might be a truly terrible Family Guy spinoff. It\\u2019s not; it\\u2019s something closer to a mix between Deep Blue Sea without Samuel L. Jackson and Armageddon without Bruce Willis. Enjoy.

Oh, and the Academy saw fit to add a new category to the Oscars this year. If you don\\u2019t know what it is yet, have we got a treat for you. Once you\\u2019ve heard Daniel\\u2019s opinion (if you had the time to listen to all of it), let us know what you think by leaving a sardonic comment over on Facebook. Josh may not be on many episodes nowadays, but he still takes great pleasure in reading anti-establishment grumbling on Facebook.
