Warrior of the Week: Juan Duran

It’s not just a movie. It’s more than just a newsbite. The snakeheads are real.

And they’re gigantic.

This is why we turn to Juan Duran. A youth in Baltimore, Juan managed to catch a frankenfish that weighed more than 18 pounds and is bigger than four feet long. Some might jump to the thought of it being a world record.

They need to wake up. It’s a not a world record. It’s a warning. I told you all that snakeheads are probably evolving to kill us all. Fish don’t grow that big that easily unless they’re using diabolical and nefarious methods. We need to rid ourselves of these fish, the sooner, the better.

Nature continues with super pisces

Last year, I gave a quick glance at a movie called “Frankenfish.” It’s a fun little film but completely fictional. Little did I know that it would actually be a near-documentary.

About 10, maybe 15 years ago, I can remember hearing about snakeheads, an invasive predator that somehow made it into the DC-Maryland area ecosystem. Times have not changed the situation except for the worse. They’re now being found in Pennsylvania and Delaware. Nicknamed as frankenfish, seemingly because of their near patchwork make-up and their willingness to throw a young girl into a lake at a moment’s notice, these little monsters are on the loose … again.

  • They’re strong survivors
  • They’re resilient, ruthless and murderous
  • They have no fear of humans
  • They can adapt

It’s clear that we need to eradicate them. Who’s to say that after they’ve wiped out entire ecosystems, they don’t adapt and evolve legs? It’s a perfectly reasonable assumption to make. The best plan is to blow them all out of the water. If other animals get caught in that crossfire, more’s the better.

MasterChugs Theater: It Came From Beneath the Water

This week, we’re gonna do some quick hits. Sometimes, you just want to ease back and not think a lot. Sometimes, you just want to turn off your mind and watch a movie.

Do not go to the lower rated titles in the horror section of Netflix Watch Instant. There is some sheer and utter dreck. My friends and I get together almost every month for our Bad Movie Night. None of those movies make the cut.

However, you can still find some bad movies that are enjoyable enough. They’re probably more of the disc only type. And since it’s summer, maybe you should go with a theme, like, movies that make you scared of the water.

Or at least movies that make you look forward to avoiding creeks and water parks. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: It Came From Beneath the Water
