Summary: <p><a href="https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/61181/23-fun-facts-about-tremors" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tremors</a>: “This Valley is Just One Long Smorgasbord.”</p><br><p>In 1990 America, no one could ever have predicted that a movie about <a href="https://screenrant.com/tremors-movie-creatures-graboids-origins-weakness-explained/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">subterranean penis monsters</a> would not only attract the acting talents of <a href="https://screenrant.com/tremors-tv-show-kevin-bacon-canceled-reason/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kevin Bacon</a> and <a href="https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/fred-ward/credits/150865/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fred Ward</a>, but also inspire almost as many sequels as <a href="https://screenrant.com/every-single-highlander-movie-in-chronological-order/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Highlander</a>.</p><br><p>For real, what <a href="https://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-31/june-2018/freud-and-penis-envy-failure-courage" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Freud-obsessed</a> writer decided to create a film franchise featuring the leviathan version of an unsolicited dick pic? At the very least, Darth can cackle at the silver lining of witnessing her male guest-hosts being subjected to a woman’s experience in dating. The important lesson to glean from Tremors is that it’s completely acceptable to be an <a href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/courts/tremors-actress-finn-carter-in-las-vegas-court-on-felony-charges-1815074/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">idiotic seismologist</a> with zero knowledge of vibration or sound so long as you have stunning blue eyes and refuse to wear a bra. Add some utterly random pole-vaulting skills to that equation, and you just might get Kevin Bacon to cut foot loose.</p><br><p>On the other side of the spectrum, thank God for legitimately badass women like <a href="https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a30457996/tremors-30-anniversary-reba-mcentire-interview/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reba McEntire</a>.

In fact, your favorite podcasters suspect that this movie might be where denim was last worn. </p><br><p>Regardless of your feelings about this <a href="https://ultimateclassicrock.com/tremors-movie/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cult classic</a>, you have to admit that Tremors is nothing if not entertaining. Admit it.
