> [@Dante](#): > > Okay, I got pulled away from the TV near the end. Were Fin and April in the same shark, or two separate sharks? I think they had to be - Fin jumped into the shark right after it ate April, but couldn’t find her inside it. Did you see the payoff of that scene though? A chainsaw came out, followed by the baby that April gave birth to while inside the shark. ---

I believe it is simply called _Zombie Sharks_.

In 2013 they marketed the film on that Cannes boardwalk where all the marginal films go (can’t remember what it’s called), and it got mentioned multiple times (Vulture, buzzfeed, etc.) as “look at this wacky movie at Cannes!” Even NPR talked about it for a few minutes in that context. So…some viral thing that trended well. Of course, they also might be highly entertaining (I haven’t seen any). ---

So was only else wonder if April… …had already given birth, or if she just cut a hole in the shark and press her vagina against it.? ---

Shark’s insides must be very squishy for April and her newborn to survive de-orbiting without a parachute. I watched it again too, and it looked like he dived into the same shark in space that had swallowed her, but after touchdown, she was in a different shark than him - did you see the same? ---

I think so. Looked like she got swallowed, then a big shark crashed through the shuttle. Fin then jetpacked after her, but in all the confusion, must have chosen the wrong shark. I can’t believe I’m having this conversation. ---
