Because one sharknado isn’t enough, Syfy made a sequel to last year’s disaster B-movie, only this time the sharp-toothed creatures took over New York City.
If you didn’t watch “Sharknado 2: The Second One” on Wednesday night, fear not: Twitter did. Here’s what you missed while living your life:
This time there were sharks on a plane. (Sadly no Samuel L. Jackson, though.)
