Leviathan is a science-fiction horror that's part of the 1980s underwater movie craze.
The film didn't fare so well at the box office, and on the surface, it's a head-scratcher as to why.
There are famous names behind the film -- like special effects master Stan Winston, artist Ron Cobb, and composer Jerry Goldsmith, for a start. RoboCop himself, Peter Weller, leads a fun cast.
The movie hasn't received a glowing critical re-appraisal. Still, there are quiet corners of the internet and plenty of YouTube comments in clip uploads that sing its sea-song praises.
So is Leviathan good? Well, I'm winking which way that goes, but you can't see that. So you have to listen to find out.
This episode will explore all the yeses and nos and discuss the movie's legacy.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
