Welcome to DailyKos' second annual liveblog of the television movie disaster/disaster movie Sharknado. This year's sequel is the cleverly-named
Sharknado II: The Second One. The movie begins at 9PM Eastern on the Syfy Network. As we did last year, we're going to give the movie the MST3K treatment in the comments and through updates in the diary.
Now that Syfy is aware of how many people love how cheesy the movie is, expect it to be twelve times hokier than the first Sharknado movie.
