Episode 174 - Flickers Ahoy

We go deep on this episode of the podcast and get soaked in the process. We start off with 1998's "Deep Rising" from director Stephen Sommers, which stars Treat Williams and several other notable big-name Hollywood stars in a tale of a heist gone horribly wrong. It takes place on an ocean liner that meets up with a horrific beastie from the depths with teeth in places you don't expect. It is a big, noisy, dumb movie that is also a total blast to watch. We follow that up with an entirely different take on aquatic horror, with 2020's "Underwater", directed by the very impressive William Eubank and featuring an incredible lead performance from Kristen Stewart. It is an unrelenting tale of miners in the deepest part of the ocean who find themselves dealing with a sudden collapse of ALL the systems in their facility, and who come face to face with an unspeakable swarm of creatures that seem determined to kill them all. It is an absolute masterpiece and we highly recommend it. We would love to hear your thoughts on these two and also your recommendations for future movie pairings.Send us your thoughts on the show and recommendations for future episodes to [email protected] or [email protected].
