Grizzly II: Revenge (1983/2021) – SSP263

This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we take a rugged trek into the wilds of cult horror cinema to mark the recent May 6th birthday of George Clooney with a bear-sized deep dive into the 2021 oddity Grizzly II: Revenge. It’s a tale born of teeth, claws, and Hollywood curiosity—one part creature feature, one part cinematic legend finally unleashed. Join your trail guides, Karen and Greg, as they sit by the campfire and wrestle with this long-lost sequel, sharing thoughts as raw and honest as the wilderness itself. Along the way, they sip on a specially crafted “Bear Bait” cocktail, strong enough to warm you through the coldest mountain night and smooth enough to keep the conversation rolling. If you love horror movie reviews, bizarre film history, creature features, or just enjoy your scares served with a stiff drink and a bit of frontier wisdom, this episode’s for you. So pull your coat tight, mind the shadows beyond the firelight, and listen close—because out here, revenge isn’t just personal… it’s Grizzly.

Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include: Karen tells us about the most popular national parks. We get more “bear facts” than we need. Bear bile is very important apparently. Greg inadvertently makes references to Billy Joel and Steve Miller. We also have references to the bands Winger and Venom!
