Birdemic 2: The Resurrection (2013)

Published on: 25th February, 2022

A story about old friends and new, talking about making movies, unmotivated dolly shots, and even worse CGI than before.

Listen in as me and returning Birdemic specialist, Dave, giggle and revel at this amazingly ridiculous sequel.

We're back for more BIRDS! Written and directed by self-proclaimed auteur James Nguyen (Birdemic: Shock and Terror, Birdemic 2: The Resurrection, Julie and Jack), Movie Rewind said " if you liked the first movie for all its stupid, quirky charm, you’re bound to have a great time suffering through this one as well," and Splatter Critic said it's "terrible in countless ways, yet hard to condemn since it’s so unabashedly stupid." Yep. That about covers it.

It tells the continuing story of Rod (Alan Bagh, back in action and swinging for the fences) and Nathalie (Whiney Moore, back like a good sport) as they continue their lives after the horrific events of the first film. Rod's buddy, Bill (fantastically wooden Thomas Favaloro), is a promising young director who needs cash for his passion project. Rich Rod signs on as long as his lady fair and his adopted son can be in the film. Random conversations about old Hollywood movies and the struggles of being and actor, writer, or director are highlighted. Finally the birds attack, cave people from the La Brea tar pits rise, and zombies show up. It is fucking nuts.

The film is currently available on Amazon Prime, Fear Factory, Tubi, Pluto TV, and DVD.

About the Podcast

Subversive Cinema
The show about the weird, whacky, and downright wrong entries in cinema history.
There are a lot of films out there, so it's only natural that a decent amount of strange content exists. These are the films we examine.

Each week, I sit down with a guest and we take a look a one of these weird, whacky, or downright wrong cinematic entries. Each of them has something about it that makes it special — I call it the "Subversive Sauce" — and that is recipe we try to break down.

Is it scientific? Absolutely not. Will you learn things you didn't know? Maybe. Might you hear about films worth checking out? Most definitely.

Tune in and see what the subversion is all about!

Art started in the podcasting ecosphere back in 2007 with the outrageous, yet short lived, scripted variety show "WBKR: Buckwilde Radio," which claimed listeners from over 20 different countries. After hanging up his headphones and heading west to move to Los Angeles, he kept podcasting in his heart but only made appearances rather than producing or hosting. It only took a global pandemic, boredom, and the pleading from his buddy, Joe, to get back into the mic booth.
