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.
