Deep Rising - Supplement

While we try to cover as much as we can in our episodes, there's always more to see, hear, and read about a movie that can enhance your viewing experience. If you enjoyed our episode on Deep Rising, here's a few extra bits you might find interesting...

Deep Rising

In this episode, we welcome Josh aboard to talk about a vastly underappreciated monster mash from the late 90s, Stephen Sommer's fun action-horror hybrid Deep Rising from 1998. Listen as we detail our love of creature features, marvel at this movie's amazing cast (chief among them the late, great Treat Williams), and mourn the decline of mid-budget genre blockbusters. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and slimy tentacles.

The Best of 2024 - Supplement

 While we try to cover as much as we can in our episodes, there's always more to see, hear, and read about a movie that can enhance your viewing experience. If you enjoyed our episode on The Best Movies of 2024, here's a few extra bits you might find interesting...

Best of 2024

Once again, we're discussing our favorite movies of the past year, in this case 2024. Despite it being a terrible year for us personally, the films were still great, so listen as we run through our top ten lists, which include disquieting depictions of religious and political conflict, disturbing bad behavior from rich people, and slapstick comedy involving fiendish but cute animals. Warning: Contains explicit language, some spoilers, and some futile Oscar hopes.
