On a whim, I rented Sharknado 5 last night, and loved it. Inventive, blackly funny, fast moving, never boring, and totally preposterous from beginning to end.

I was especially delighted at how they explained Tara Reid’s (the hero’s wife) wooden acting in-universe:

She’s a robot!

I was so enthralled that I went out and bought a copy on Amazon so I could share it with the guys in the model club.
