Orca (1977)

In the second installment of Febwhaleary, we leave behind the fun loving world of Free Willy and venture to the cold climate of Newfoundland to witness the dark side of nature. For not all Orcas share the same sense of fun and need for human companionship like Willy, some…can hold a grudge. For Killer Whales the need for vengeance can be just as strong in Orcas as it can with homosapiens, as one fisherman in the 1970’s found out. With rows of razor sharp teeth, designed to tear apart their prey, along with an extensive knowledge of explosives and natural accelerants; one does not wish to be on the bad side of this deadly mammal. For when one fucks around with nature…nature has a way of fucking you back.This…is Orca.I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare to serve up a cold plate of vengeance are fellow cinephiles and marine biologists, Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.Topics of discussion in this episode include a breakdown of one of the most haunting and traumatic scenes we’ve ever witnessed on the show to date; Dino De Laurentiis thumbs his nose at Spielberg as he gives us one ocean hell-beast to rule them all; and finally, we analyze the Final Destination-esque methods that the Killer Whale in Orca uses to obtain his vengeance.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Febwhaleary will continue next week, as we warp back to the future to save the Humpback Whale species with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. And yes, we promise, there will be whales here!
