In episode 15, Nilo and Jen are joined by author Gordon Grice to discuss African lion attacks. They swap stories that span more than a century and several countries, including the "man-eaters of Tsavo," and then debate the merits of two films based on those notorious attacks: Bwana Devil (1953) and The Ghost and the Darkness (1996). Along the way, they also touch on the follies of colonialism and briefly review Prey (2007) and the 1978 made-for-TV movie The Beasts are on the Streets!
