Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hello, and welcome to Deep Blue Sea the Podcast. I
am Mark Darkness and Goosebumps Hofmeyer.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And I am Jay one Ugly Baby Cluet. On this podcast,
we've been through the entire Deep Blue Sea trilogy scene
by scene. We're doing it again. But we also loves
to talk about deep c Jason films that's film stretched
by Rindy Harland featuring sharks or a coding action, or
films that take place really really deeply underwater, which is
what we're doing today with The Rift. What is the Ring?
(00:41):
Does It? Boy? Does It? The Rift is a nineteen
ninety Spanish English language Spanish sci fi horror directed by
Juan Pique Simon I Believe Apologies, starring Jack Scallia and
his incredible hair, Ali Ermi, Ray Wise Deborah, an international
(01:01):
cast of stereotypes who over the course of about eighty
three minutes, they come and they take a submarine down
to try and find another submarine that's very very deep
in the ocean, and they encounter all kinds of creatures
and beasties down there. It sounds like some kind of
paper yet, a napkin monster, that kind of thing. So
(01:26):
we need a guest who introduced us to this film.
He was on I think earlier this year, even to
talk about Chapter Deep. We see he's very familiar with
all kinds of other worldly goings on that that seems
to be his bread and butter. So welcome back to show,
Fred Anderson, Fred the Rift, thank you for.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I love this movie.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Thank you, and I mean I'm so happy you enjoyed it.
You know, I'm always always nervous when I recommend movies
to people. But I knew somehow that I could trust you.
I mean, you have the Deep Lucy podcast, so of course,
but I felt I had this deep instinct within me
who told me that these guys will enjoy this movie deeply.
(02:11):
Oh we do.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I mean, listen, the world is one big laugh factory.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Okay, okay, that whole I enjoyed this film. This isn't
a good film. I had a great time watching this.
But this film needs a rewrite.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
This fair rules and you know what we have a
new like Wick Hayes is he should join the Ripped
Alcoholic Club with Jason Statham from The Meg and Patrick
Wilson from the one where he fights the Moon Moonfall.
I love, I love a good ripped alcoholic.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
When we found out Wick was his first name, I
lost my mind. He just call He's called Wick for
like twenty minutes and it's like Wick Hayes. No, wait,
hang on, his first name is Wick. That's not.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
The first there's Stemsland in this He's.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Taken to a character called Jake Pliskan in the opening scene.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
You know what's crazy about this movie. This guy helped
engineer two submarines or or developed the plants for two
submarines that can travel to like twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Thousand, thirty five thousand, thirty five.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Oh yeah right, yeah, yeah, like thirty five thousand feet
blow the ocean surface. And the entire time people will
be like, oh, this is some ship you built. Oh,
this thing just keeps breaking down, Like this guy kind
of sucks. This guy. This is a Nobel Prize.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But that's saying that because the first ship he designed
has apparently failed in some way down to him as
far as they go, So this guy designed the ship
wrong and back down another in the same ship again,
and then it turns out no, it wasn't him, and.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Like they mess with it. It's like, hey, this thing
can go really far under the ocean surface. Like, well,
we're gonna tinker with it. No, don't do that. Well,
we're gonna do it anyway. They him, and this thing
would be like and Sven Sven like skeletons. He he
(04:35):
absorbs incredible pressures, very very This movie rules. It's like
science shut up. Yeah, we don't care. And it's gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I love this science shut up film. Favorite kind of films.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
There's a fish tank in the boat just like it's awesome.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, it is awesome and and yeah, you need to
judge it for its own universe, for the universe it's in.
That's how. You can't compare it to the Abyss or
deep it is. It is the rift universe. It's the
multiverse kind of not really, but it's it's it is
(05:21):
what it is, you know. That's that's how. And that
goes for all of Simon's movies. You know, you have
to just take a deep dive into his very very
specific way of storytelling and and and and gory fun
and you will realize that this is a really great movie.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I'm not I I had a great time. That's the
This film was a ride. This that there is so
much crammed into less than an hour and a half.
I was not bored. You cannot be bored watching this film.
The final act is bonkers. That when they're just throwing
animals at all over the shop and there's a giant
(06:03):
starfish thing on the wall, that's it looks great. It's
a terrible character.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Lovesome, but.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
He will a a coworker using these like micro microscope
glasses that are going to make it a worse experience
for him. Surely he's going to have a better view
without the glasses on. I get it. It makes it.
It's funny to look at it. He looks, he looks
weird with the glasses on. I get it. It's just like,
(06:38):
I didn't take this film seriously because I couldn't. I
just had I just went with it and had fun.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah, that's it. I respect that. That's fine. I won't
be angry or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm I'm still thrilled that you said, hey, we should
I want to talk about the rift. It was like, great,
let's talk about the rift and if we are.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I wish I wish I would have this when I
was a teenager, because whenever talking to women, I would
have been like I knew that there were hormones larking
somewhere in that luscious bat.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh my god it was. That was like ten minutes
into the film. I had taken a full page of
notes already. I was like, I literally I wrote down,
I am taking too many notes, and I had to
just like pace myself with my note taking, like this
Episod's gonna be three hours longer though it's become of
everything I write down.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I actually took some notes. I rarely take notes when
I watch movies because I have this big ego and
I think I will be able to talk about the
movie without not really remembering it. But I did take
a note about Jack Scalia's hair, which is sunning.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
It's dunning.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, yeah, it's kinda it's really it's it's it's its
own character basically, and I mean it's probably you know,
that hair together with what do you call it in
the English language? Is the left in his.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Shin chim chin dimple?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I guess is that? Yeah? Yeah, that combination makes Jack
Sky in this movie maybe the perfect star, you know, yeah,
a star.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
A p Absolutely, he's very much in the in the
Kurt Russell vane of action hero. Big hair just it's like,
you know, cool guy, so.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Much hair, so much hair, and it stays bouncy throughout.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, it's very very nicely calmed, you know. It's it
has a volume, you can say all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
He's also in a TV film from tex called Crack
and Tentacles of the Deep that might well be joining
the list at some point.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Even when he wears a mask and hoodie so he
doesn't absorb terrible gas that people just take their helmets
off anyway and just bring it in, you know. But
he takes it off and his hair goes back. It's awesome.
This movie rules. It's barely a movie too because holding credits,
(09:17):
you know, it has the chillest credits or like the Rift.
It's very kind of bland for the movie it is.
I don't know if you notice that, like chill font
for a deep sea movie.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I didn't notice this, but you know, yeah, please tell
us more.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
No, it's just really like there's there's no It's like
it's like not Calibri or Pacifico or Comic Sands. It's
just the stockst stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Ever. I was just fascinated about it that the dp's
name is Juan Marine oh, perfect for this film, and.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You lived to one hundred and five years.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh that's he was born.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, is that correct?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I don't I thought Mark, I don't know. That was
one of those times you're like, is he telling the truth?
Was he just making something up because it's not here?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Let me look cinematographer one one Marine, because I was like,
that's a great name.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's impressive. And so when was what was the first
time that you you encountered the rift? When did you
how did you sink into.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Well it was it was, yes, sink.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
That's only some times they dive on this podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, yeah, I was about to say that I dived
into it on a sheep the HS cassette in the nineties.
It was released on a what do you say, low
priced company, but you know, quite cheap, one of those
cassettes the HS tapes you found in in a pile
in the you know, yeah, bargain bin, in the bargain bin,
(11:04):
and and I mean it had this this lovely cover,
you know, with the with the sea and there's some
monster lurking and there's some stuff going on. And I
watched it and I loved it. And then it took
years and years until I watched it again, and that
was on a horror convention in Germany, and there was
this rumor, really there was a rumor that The Rift
(11:28):
was coming out on DVD that weekend. And I was
like looking around every there was like hundreds of people
selling DVDs. And soon or later I found the guy
who had a little piece of paper where he said
that he was selling The Rift on DVD, but he
already sold out the copies he had, and but he
(11:52):
looked at my face and he saw my disappointment. So
he left his little store in this convention center and
did a car trip. It took it took him three
hours to go and get new DVD copies off the Rift, right,
And yeah, legend he understood, he understood pure And that's
(12:14):
when I watched it the second time. And then later
I bought a Blu ray and it's one of those
movies I watch at least once a year, you know.
And I believe first time I watched it, when I
was young, I probably didn't even understand that it was Spanish.
You know. It just felt like yet another you know,
the direct video Corman flick or something like that. But
(12:36):
it had that beautiful European craziness that I love so much. Yeah, So,
you know, I got attracted basically because it had a
lot of monsters. And you know, if a movie have
a lot of rubber monsters, I kind of automatically loves it.
(12:57):
You know, it doesn't matter if they're good or you know,
bad made or something like that, but it's it's just
the idea of rubber monsters popping out everywhere. That's beautiful.
That's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
There are great rubber monsters in this There's one that's
kind of looks like, oh gosh, guys, this is gonna sell.
What's that thing in the back of your throat that
just kind of hang like. There's one Yeah, it just
looks like that and it's just uh and it like
swings at somebody and like wax them in the head
(13:27):
and it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeahula, that's what it Isla.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
It looks like that and it's just it just you
could tell some some special effects guy was on a
ladder dropped it and then it swung at the person
and bumped them in the head.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
By why Philippe Heli.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
H What's great too, is that this movie has a
personality to it. Though, like people are called squid face
and and like I love that his ex is on there,
wix X is on there, and they just get into
an argument. He's like, stop acting like a spoiled schoolgirl
and your precious feelings. And like, there's a guy playing
darts horribly.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
He's not even looking, he's not even he's throwing.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
And then when when they cut to the dark board,
there's nothing in it. So I'm like, where the darts go?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
In a conversation off to the side, and he keeps
on throwing darts.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Let's drives me nuts, Like where are those Those darts
don't go anywhere too, they miss So like that I
love that scene. But just like wick hay Is, everyone's like, oh,
the whiz kid, the WonderBoy, but he kind of is
a wonder boy.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
He saves the day multiple times.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
He's like, hey, guys, we should do a test. No,
like your your thing failed, yeah, because we didn't do
a test.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
He saves the day and then gets total for saving
the day.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Come to my office.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
There's one of the characters. I'm pretty fascinated, but I
don't remember his name. I don't know the actor's name,
and what I'm going to tell you it's not funny
or witty or anything, but he he looks annoyingly much
like Michael Fastbender, the actor in especially in in uh Prometheus. Yeah,
(15:12):
and it kind of sits in Yeah, and it's it's
it's like I couldn't stop watching him just because of that.
And he had this slight German accent or something. Did
you notice this? It was almost annoying, But he kind
of looks like an uglier Michael Fastpender.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Basically, I think that's probably Philip. I think he has
like he's I think he's supposed to be French, but
he's like waivers across the continental Europe during the course
of the film accent wise. So yeah, but yeah, I
I as see what you mean. He did look very
(15:50):
reminiscent of Robot Fastbender.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah. Maybe maybe not very, but it's it was enough
for me to get distracted. Yeah, It's kind of kind
of felt like, what's what's the what's his name? Now?
The Alien director? Did you watch The Rift? You know?
Did he get inspired or something by it?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, I mean this was they changed elements of this
to make it different from Alien because originally was supposed
to be set in space, and then they change too,
which which means we can talk about it now, because
I didn't know if it was set in space, we
wouldn't be talking about it. But it sounds to water,
so we do. And that's great, So good, good choice
everyone involved with doing that.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I love that they had big sets, like they never
set the size of the astronome, and uh, I love
like that giant creature at the end. I mean it
does eat skeeds. But like, you're right, if there's if
there's rubber monsters in it, I'm gonna watch it, like
I I love a good rubber monster gets head.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
By one, Yeah, shoots out of this tunnel in the water,
just head bunts him and he becomes paralyzed and convulsing
from being head by by Robert monster. That's great.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And he sticks his head in the hole like this
is uh you.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Know, kind of reminded me of what do you call it?
Whackam mole.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, And there's some pretty good door in this movie.
The creature effects are nice, Like I like watching these
creatures explode and you know, spends a little adventure in
the seaweed like that's that's just a good time.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
It's a good exploding head too.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yeah, exploding head blows up, the shoots in the head right,
and then it's just blood everywhere.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
But does she really shoots him in the head. I
was thinking about because I watched it twice now and
it just seems like she's about to shoot him in
the head and then he explodes or is she actually
doing this brutal way of killing him.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
They they say when they hand the guns out that
they're like extra super powerful guns. So I do I
do think because like later someone gets shot in their
arm explode as well. It's these are just like exploded
like explosive rounds in these guns and just blow people up.
But before that guy his head explodes, he's like he's
(18:10):
the guy who gets headbed and convulsis and then there's
like something inside him that's milling around and squirm and
it's it's like the Scarabe it was in the Mummy
kind of thing, but bigger. And I think that was
that was well done for a film with with clearly
quite a limited budget.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
The guy who worked on it was Colin Arthur. He
did the makeup effects he had done like Clash of
the Titans. He worked on Open Your Eyes like he
did the special effects on that and talked to her,
which is kind of crazy. But now the guy has
been like he did a lot of makeup department, but
he's also worked on some pretty great movies, like so
I think they had a pretty good crew here working
(18:49):
on the special effects. So I mean, yeah, the guy
did Never Ending Story. He worked on Total Recall, so
he did Never Ending Story, then he did the riff
the creatures, and then when he went to work on
Total Recall.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah, but it seemed I read somewhere that had quite
okay Bodiet, I mean it, yeah, allegedly, I can't speak
English properly here two million dollars in Buddiet, which is
I would say quite good for a Spanish you know,
rip off movie from from the early nineties, you know.
(19:25):
But I also heard that it was you know, the
La Rerentis who financed it, So you never know, there
one I need. I don't know if you're familiar with this,
but you know, my my, my, my line of business
is the is the weirdest UFOs and ghosts and stuff
like that. That's what I'm doing. And I find I
found out and I didn't know that until today that
(19:47):
the first draft of the script was two hundred and
fifty pages.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yes, and.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It was written of course, but the original draft that
was written by one Colin Wilson. Do you know Do
you know who Colin Wilson. Well, he's probably one of
the more famous kind of esoteric authors, and he wrote
about paltergeists and UFOs and occult He wrote hundreds of books.
(20:21):
He basically wrote everything that he got paid to write.
You know, he wrote, you know, sex manuals basically. Sometimes
he wrote satires, He wrote philosophy, He wrote every book,
every book you can imagine. And he wrote one of
the best UFO books ever written, Alien Dawn, which is
(20:42):
kind of an in depth dive into the phenomenon. So
it's so. He also wrote What's that to Toby Hooper
movie set in London, Life Force. Yeah, he wrote the
book that. Yeah, so he was a really cool guy.
(21:04):
But like The Rift, Yeah, he obviously wrote the first
draft of The Rift, and I would have loved to
see his version, truly, that would probably have been It
probably was very very different. I guess they just cut
away everything that was serious and philosophical and just aim
for the gore and the camp.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I'm imagining a four hour version of the Rift.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now office visits were there be come to my office?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Really?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Okay, so there's two three four hours, eighty minutes forty
three that's what I'm thinking, come to my office. No, yeah, no,
at least okay nine nine office scenes.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
At some point one of them they switched places and
like Wick, it's now Wick's office. Over course of the
meeting that Wik takes over and sends the captain the
captain away and then like captain, come back in my office,
and the two of them.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
It's it's such a sweet scene when the second time
Early Army calls Wick to go into this office and
he first bashes him a bit, and then he says,
you did a damn fine job. That that's that's a
scene that almost brings me to tears. You know, it's
so beautiful, you know, it's it's kind of like the
(22:31):
it's kind of like early Ermi's version of slow Clap
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah, I enjoyed that scene.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And also Wick does it well. Wi's not like okay,
Wick's like thank you captain, Like Wick is classy in
that moment.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
You have that mutual understanding, you know, man o man
or you know, it's it's it's a it's a beautiful moment.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
If I was part of that crew, I would just
like one them should always be getting in trouble. So
Ermie has to go talk to him in the office,
so he's just never around. Just I've got to my
office and like he comes back out someone else said
something sassy, not use then all right, let's go to
(23:19):
my office and just it's just a cycle of him
being gone. And also, like ray Wise becoming the villain,
is that he didn't have enough time to rip off
the abyss, did they.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Well it's that and it's alien as well. He's home.
But I'm currently going through Twin Peaks. I'm doing it
for the first time. I'm doing like right up for
each episode, and ray Wise is in Twin Peaks, and
my whole thing I'm going through is is assuming ray
Wise ray Weiss did it, because ray Wise, in my
head is always the bad guy in anything. And okay,
you know Ray's secretly did whatever, and then he's in there,
(23:56):
so that well he's got he's gonna be the secret
back guy. And of course ray Wise is this secret
bay in this, so it's just he's playing he's playing
into my conspiracy theory that Ray Wise always plays the
secret bad guy in everything he ever does. I assume
I'm not that farign too a pis yet, but I agree.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I mean I was thinking the same thing with Ray
Wiss if I actually forgotten that he was the bad guy.
Uh until I start watching the movie and I start
I looked at him and I thought, Okay, he looks evil. Yes,
it's Ray Wise, he must be the guy. It kind
of reminds me of Bruce Payne, who I've seen in
countless movies, where he always plays a nice guy in
the beginning, but we all know that he is the
(24:36):
bad guy. There's no so it's never a surprise. With
the Bruce Payne, he's always the bad guy. And almost
the same thing with Ray Wiss. I'd say it's.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Just per fifty seven. You're like, that guy's bad.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It's like it's him, it's James Cromwell outside the Babe.
He's always going to be a secret back guy.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You know what the key is you you can't look
like a Michael Wincott who you're like, that's a bad guy.
You know, like whenever you see wing Cot you're like
and you hear him talking, well, he's a villain.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
This is this is my thing with Dennis Quaiit Dennis
quite looks like a villain. Ray Wise looks like a villain.
Like there are people who look like villains. Dennis Quaid
keeps on kidding himself but trying to not be a villain.
But he looks like a villain. This is my whole
I've been saying this for years. People like, what are
you like Dennis quack because he looks like a villain.
I don't know how does no one else see this?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You know, who's a good undercover villain as David Morse whenever?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
He who's nice?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Pet if you look at him and you're like, I
like him, he's nice, and then you're like, well, no, wait,
he's a villain, but he's great.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
He's so wholesome.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
He's been a villain a couple of times. And you're like, oh,
you got me. You hire the nice character like people
who look friendly. Because Cromwell's just kind of like a
stern dad. So you know he's gonna be bad eventually. Yeah,
but yeah, you knew this dude was going to turn
also be in a submarine movie would be kind of
(26:06):
boring because you're just it's just you sort of sitting
next to a desk, like plugging stuff in.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Just checking a screen. Yep, blips are still there for blips,
and the bloops.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Take us down to six hundred. Okay, captain, and he's
gonna go. And then you're like, we did it. How's
a torpedo bay looking? You like, open it up good
and the close it.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I don't. I don't generally like submarine films for this
reason because they're always kind of boring. But as soon
as yeah, so like hunt for I'm not found a
Hunt for October, I find it boring. I know, Mark,
I get it. I'm sorry, but it.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Was in voluntary. Everyone can have one feelings day. But
as soon as you said that, something in my body
just went. Tony Scott loaded it up with so much
sweat and smoke, you're like, all right, and a lot
of intensity and people yelling you.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's still boring for me.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
They're all on gimbals too. It's like whoa you know,
shooting around.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
To fix a submarine film, you got to add in
monsters or ghosts or some something else. So we talked
about blow on here. I like to Blow because Blow
is a is a haunted house film on a submarine.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Great.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I liked The Rift because the Rift is weird. Monsters underwater, Great,
let's go. Let's go find that.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
It goes thirty eight thousand feet underwater, goes really far.
They should have died on the course coast of Norway.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, which, I've just been there. That's great, It's it's
we whatever. I've just been tonnoying. And now every bit
of media I see someone that's referring to NOI the
book I'm reading talks about noise. The Rift has noise
in it. I just I just been.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I'm going to Norway on Friday. Oh yeah, I'm going
to sit in a car for twelve hours and you're
going to go up the mountains and live in a cabin.
There's no electricity, there's no you know, there's no phone,
internet or anything like that. So it's a I haven't
been to Norway for many years, and now when I'm
(28:21):
going back, I'm going into the wilderness and I absolutely
love that. I'm so looking forward to not have a
computer or phone or something. It's a it's a what
do you say? It doesn't matter for this discussion. I
just wanted to that's great.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
How are you going to watch the rift?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Well? I watched this twice. Now you know.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
You know what you can do. Get everyone in a
circle and just tell them the rift, the story.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Okay, toast marshmallows and talk about.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, really ripped dude in a bed drunk. Just two guys, the.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Most the most hay you can think of.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Most hair. Like you think it's a pillow, you think
it's a dog, it's a guy's head. He's passed out.
These two. His name is Wick Wick Hey, last name,
no first name name.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Two guys walk by, like one of them Stegland, Steamland,
Stevia Snake, and they're like, hey, man, you built a
boat that can go forty five thousand feet underwater. Some
people tinkered with it and messed up without behind your back,
but it's your fault. So you're going to Norway at
(29:43):
eight hundred or whiz kid. He's like, well, the world
is just full of lass.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So okay, okay, I just want to that that do this.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Bread and film like.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I will, I will, you know, or during the twelve
of our car trick, I will tell them.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
You can tell it. It's twelve hours eighty minutes, which stops.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
To the four two hundred and fifty papers.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
You could get. You could get this in you know,
five six, seven times.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
So yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, I'll do my best.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Make up the Rift too be like, okay, the Rift too,
back below wix back.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I would love to see a sequel to this one.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I actual see.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I mean this could be you know, like a franchise
like like Deep Luci basically or you know, uh yeah,
back below. It's a good title.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
They they went thirty thousand feet into the ocean to
do tests. That's a big venture.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Well, they're going to find the submarine that's lost. I
don't know if that first submarine was supposed to have
gone that deep. They're just trying to like follow in.
Oh yeah, sorry, you're saying that the overall because yeah, yeah,
I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
They have dogs and animals there, and like they brought
stuff there mm hmm ice.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
It's amniotic sacks full of human with things. They blow
it all up.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
It's just seed in tissue monsters. This tissue monster is
still in the ocean.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I do like that. They say, oh yeah, this is
too deep a photos of this this see weed shouldn't
be down here, and it's just you know, we do experiments.
That's that's how we're just experiments. It's not like but
but no, that's just experiments. And then it's just it's
just a part of explosive barrels and they shot blows up.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
What would have happened is do you guys know what
had happened is then at that.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Deep he would have died. It would have been very
painful for a very short amount of time, and then
he wouldn't be around anymore.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I guess you would like, yeah, that's a lot, that's
a lot of ways to go.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
It would be kind of funny if they're like, hey, Spen,
get out there, and as soon as you get outstairs, here.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Wait, what did he Why is the water red? What's
that cloud? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
And I know this is in the world of the rift,
but yeah, they're saying that the pressure would also lead
the lung collapse and just you would crush immediately, which
is But I like when when he's screaming the wife,
the ex wife or ex girlfriend's like, I think something's
wrong out there. Oh man, what a great movie, you know.
(32:39):
I didn't even think about how deep they were the
first time I watched it, I just had a smile
on my face. It wasn't until the rewatch when I
went did they just say twenty seven thousand feet?
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Like what? They almost full into the crevice. It's forty
five thousand deep when they do it, I'm going for it.
For into the crevice, going forward in fall into the crevice,
Go diva. And they didn't. That was disappointed. Wick stopped
them and lodged them and decided what could be down there?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Who knows the rift to.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
The rift too? Yeah, still rifting.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Statham comes out. But we can have a team up
of two ripped alcoholics, one with great hair, one with
no hair.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yes, it's the Rift. It's the ripped r I p T.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
They both have axes on the boats. Sure, they're both
in a bad spot and have to get recruited. People
don't trust them at first because remember like the doctor,
they're mad at them because people died, so they messed up.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Doctor dies in both cases. But they.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, so these two guys working together, yea, the Ripped.
I love this movie.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
So when when I can't, I'm not sure what the
lady with the luscious bod when she shoots the gul,
she shoots the guy. She she reports back to the
captain over the town and is like, Fleming is dead.
I'll explain later, and this walks never explains.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Can we talk about skeets please?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Let's talk about he can't swim or he can't he
can't swim. He has nothing but equips, but they equips
that aren't great. His quips are like somebody, but I
do something, response to something. And White Boy first he
(34:54):
dies hard. He like getting sucked into the tentacle thing.
It's a big death. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
And he's also in water World. He's a plane gunner
in water World.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Mm hmm okay, I didn't know that, you like.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
And he's king and out for justice and he's in Dude,
where's my car?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
This is John Toles Bay with my car?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
So what are some other moments that you love here?
Like uh Fred, like or like what are what's your
what are the moments that bring you happiness? Like when
you watch this on DHS when you when you learned
you could get it on DVD, Like what's like what
moments do you hold on to?
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Well? I would say, I mean the last half hour
basically is worth every penny, you know, all your time,
and because it's non stop monster action, and it's so
it's so much gober monsters and you have that I
don't know how to describe this most it's kind of
like some kind of weird fantasy dinosaur coming out from
(35:58):
some show revis and biting someone, which I kind of
kind of very very different from the other ones. I
suspect they took some monster they had in the basement
they used it. I like that one, but I'm very,
very very fond of the wacamole sequence because it's like
it's so funny somehow, and like you said, he's looking
(36:19):
into the hole and they're coming out, and it's it's
and they kind of look like this. These monsters kind
of look like I don't want to actually, I don't
want to say any dirty words, but it has the
feeling of the top of a penis coming out, yeah,
which which I found very music. But you know, I'm Swedish,
(36:41):
so we we we often have this this this this
way of thinking.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Actually the head of a fly, you know, the massive
eyes on the side of the fly, That's what I was.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
I love phallic monsters alien and like what DreamCatcher there's
a great, great thing about phallic locking monsters.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
But as I'd say, my my my favorite character in
movie outside of Wick of course, is ray Wise. I
think it's always great. He's always stealing the show when
it's when when he makes a movie, and and it
kind of in general, I would say that the whole
cast feels very inspired. And I suspect they got quite
good pay you know, from those two million dollars, they
(37:30):
probably got not a bad paycheck, you know, so they
probably gave it a lot because this is a movie
where it could have been so easy to just call
it in, you know, cashier paycheck and go home. I
mean earlier ermy is. I mean, imagine that guy did
Full Metal Jacket and a few years later he did
(37:50):
the Rift.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
I like that guy, which they quote full Metal Jacket. Yeah,
that's one of quips is when the driving the stuff
down the long tunnel, He's like, this feels like a
go for suck through a garden hose. It's like, wait
a minute, no you can't, no, no, no, hang on,
Oh yeah, he's that that three years ago a different film.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, what do you what are your comfort food watches Fred, Like,
what are some movies that you you put on and
you just love, Like they're what's your top four comfort food?
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Oh? I have a tunnel comfort comfort movies. They're usually
quite generic, you know, they don't they're they're kind of relaxing.
I don't laugh at me. But one of them is
a Kevin Costa movie. I think it's called correct me
(38:45):
if I'm wrong. I think it's called Mister Smith or
something like that. The serial killer movie mister Brooks, Mister Brooks,
Thank You, which I've seen countless of times, just because
it's so relaxing to watch. It's Kevin Costal playing a
serial killer. That's fun, and it's kind of just professional,
you know, it's a it's a it doesn't stand out
(39:08):
except that Kevin Costner is a serial killer. But it's
it's it's like a just a very well made movie.
Uh uh, this sounds like get I guess like an
anti climax here, But I mean it's a Brooks is
one of my my comfort movies.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
I need to watch it. It's as a seven point
three on IMDb score. Yeah, I mean, but like it.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
It is a great movie.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
It is so h you know, it's interesting what you said.
Sometimes just well made movies that aren't they don't make
you jump up and be like, oh my gosh, or
they they aren't. They're so good that they don't have
moments that are bad that you're like, oh that's bad.
When they're just good, you can just kind of chill
and watch them and enjoy it because you're not your
heart rate's not accelerating. Yes, you're not jumping out of
(39:54):
your seat, and you're not bored. It's just good. Like, uh, yeah,
there's this movie Other Monsters that is really easy to watch.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
But yeah, it's just good. It's not like you're never
I don't know, you know what I mean like it, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Totally, that's exactly the kind of movie. I mean. Another one.
I actually think this is a great movie, but I
realized many people find it just a well made movie,
and that that's a Richard Gear movie. The Moffmann Prophecies.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Oh yeah, that's another good one.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Yeah, it's it's a good one. But I've seen it
so many times. It's one of those movies I can
just play in the in the background while I'm doing
some work or or making food or something and it's
such a familiar feeling to have it have it on. Uh, yeah,
that's you know, it's I have kind of generic Hollywood
(40:53):
movies as you know, as as comfort movies he has.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
He has a calming, calming presence. Though Richard gear Yea
and kind of Costner to an extent, they're very You'll
never really see them run in a movie.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
Right, trying to think, Yeah, like this, like, I think
Costa might be one of cinema's greatest walkers.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Given that he's been in quite a lot of sports movies,
like picture him running, Yeah, like Baseball, he's a picture.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
You know, in the draft days, drafting people like he's
water World. He's not swimming a lot.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
I feel The Dreams is just a lot of walking
and sitting. So yeah, and then gear like The Jackal.
I don't think he really runs in The Jackal. If
you do, that's an action movie.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
If you google Kevin Costs the Running, you just get
McFarland USA.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
And he's a coach, the coach but running. That's and
like Gears in Runaway Bride, but he's interviewing a lady
who runs away, you.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Know, in the nineties in the nineties. When I was
a teenager, I had this idea that I refuse to
watch movies with Kevin Costner and Richard Gear and all
those you know, traditionally handsome guys who was popular. You know,
it was like it was too mainstream for me because
I just wanted to watch Full Cheer or Hong Kong
(42:21):
movies and stuff like that. So basically the nineties is
still a treasure trow for me of great movies because
I didn't watch them. I refuse to watch movies with
these guys in so now when I'm I'm in my
forties and I realized, wow, this is a Kevin Coster
movie from ninety five I haven't seen, I'm like right
on it. So that's that's kind of that's a that's
(42:45):
one of the nice things with getting old and have
passed as a stubborn, moronic teenager, you know. So I'm
grateful for that experience.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
I've got a lot of entry Tequila Sunrise. There's so
many good trashy thrillers from the nineties like Jade and
Last Seduction and.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
Oh the hot Spot with Don Johnson. Maybe it's late eighties.
Have you have you seen the hop?
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Yeah, it's a nineteen ninety Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
It's a masterpiece. I'd say it's like, it's one of
the best movies I've watched during the recent years. This
was one of those movies I avoided in the video
store because you know, it looked silly, And now I
watched it, I think maybe last year or two years
ago for the first time, and I was like, blown away.
This is a this is a nor monsterpiece.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
I'd say it's ninety Jennifer Connolly, William Sadler, Charles Martin Smith.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Yeah, fantastic cost.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
Yeah, you need to to to see this movie.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
I'm mad in it right now.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
Great one great, one time too?
Speaker 2 (43:57):
B What are the jack now?
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Week?
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (44:00):
So what are there so we got? We got two
movies from you?
Speaker 3 (44:04):
What?
Speaker 1 (44:04):
What's what are some other I like these? I'm learning
about some neat movies. Here. What else you got?
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Oh? Really? I have eight titles behind me? You know.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
For me, I thought it was Night's Tale because beautiful,
you know. You know what's funny about Nightstiale When he
gets discovered, there's issues for about three minutes and they're
like it's cool. And then when when he gets an
argument with Shannon Sassaman. She's like, yeah, just get beat
up and you can have me back. And then he
gets beat up and they get back. Like there's no
like the lows are only lows for about fifteen seconds,
(44:37):
and so it's just a very it's a nice hangout picture,
I think, because there's really nothing groundbreaking, like there's no
big emotional sweeping scene. You can just put it on
and enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
And it's a great like supporting crew that's putting teams
yeah around them as well. Mark Haddie Yell and Tunic. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
That evolution are my like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
Evolution, Yeah, I have I have two more comfort movies.
Only you're discussed in this podcast. I'm sure that sure
of that. And that's Leviathan. I watched hundreds of times,
you know, tons of times. I love it. It's very, very
very it's such a safe movie to have in the.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
The best jump shot in cinema history.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah, and then we have a monsterpiece Star Crash by Luisgicosi,
which I I think it's it's probably the best Star
Wars ripoff ever made. And it's so corny and campy,
but it has such an even quality when it comes
to she'e. It just works. It has Carolyn Monroe, it
(45:44):
has David Hasselhoff, it has Christopher Plumber. It's like a
fantastic movie. I I can't even count how many times
I've seen it. It's it's like a it's a it's
a work of art. It's not too Yeah, of course, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:03):
I got the hot spot in Star Crash. I need
to watch, right, Jay, what are yours?
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Like?
Speaker 1 (46:09):
You haven't told me your comfort food watches?
Speaker 2 (46:11):
I mean it's just we talk about Deep In, Jurassic Book,
Wooley Amili, these kind of films. Yeah, I don't have
films I kind of. I don't have many that I
go back to. Like if I ever have a sick day,
I tend to watch something new because I've got so
many films I need to watch. But yeah, yeah, Early
(46:32):
Pixar is comforted for me. Find finding Nemo toy story
like anything. I just like, so you got it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Yeah. We watched Deep Blue Sea a lot.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
We do. Ronnie Hardman has been my most watched director
on other box for four years straight.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Now, what's the most comfort aside from Deep Blue? See,
what's the most comfort food? Harlan film? Oh it can't
be Cliffhanger because that one.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
Just I mean, the one I've seen the most is
probably die Hard too, but I don't. I don't loved
I had to. Yeah, it's a comfort film. I get
stabbed in the eye with an icicle.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Uh no, oh, good Night goes Hard.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
It does? I think Driven wind Hunters, no, Mark, No,
because not Driven. Driven the least comfort film.
Speaker 3 (47:19):
I'd say mind Hunters way way too many times.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
The movie rules, Yeah, it does.
Speaker 3 (47:28):
It's simple. It's just it's just, you know, it's it's
nothing special, it's just there. It just exists in some
kind of limbo kind of just floating around. But it's
it's it's professional.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
I would say if I Mind Hunters and Skip Trace
like on our.
Speaker 3 (47:48):
Oh okay, if.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
We're allowing films to produced, then Blast from the Past.
Oh the Past is a great But he didn't direct it.
He just was involved in some capacity.
Speaker 3 (47:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
Talking about it someday.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
Do you have any Hong Kong films to recommend Hong
Kong cinema? What should we be watching?
Speaker 2 (48:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (48:06):
Yeah, of course, I mean Eastern Condors of course.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
I just bought that on Criterion.
Speaker 3 (48:11):
Yeah, it's fantastic. It's such a great movie. Tiger on
the Beat, of course, which is a great one. Full
Contact Tiger Cage two, which I I like. I I
have to be fair. I haven't watched it since the HS,
but I still remember it vividly. It has such great fights.
(48:31):
You know, there's a there's a Taiwanese horror movie with
David Moores and I can't remember the title at the moment,
which is really disturbing and has some great head shopping
going on in it. Of course it's not it's not
Hong Kong, but it's Taiwanese. It's double vision vision exactly
(48:53):
great one, great one, very very underrated. I'd say to yeah,
it's everything on two there.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Wow, whoa, this is a heck of a cast.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Yeah, it's a great cast. But we were here. There
is one cut version going around, and there's the longer
unrated version, and you and you kind of need to
watch the unrated version because it has all the gore
in it. It's kind of gone in the shorter version.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
Just saying I'll pay attention for that. I got some
good stuff to watch here. I know we're supposed to
be talking about the Rift, but I enjoy this this
is a fun conversation, and basically me talking about The
Rift is just going I love this movie.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
It's a crazy if people listening and want to check
out The Rift, it is. It is on YouTube, it
is Where did you watch it? Milk? Where's it in
the station? GM plus MGM plus? It was on Prime
when we scheduled this, but it's not on prim anymore.
But it we're back at some point. I'm sure it's
it's very short. It's less than an hour and a
half long. It is well worth your time.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
It is.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
It is fun. You will not be bored.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
Yeah, exactly. It's not really so much to talk about. Actually,
I mean it doesn't have any deeper meanings or or
you know, you know, it doesn't have anything like that.
It's just it just goes from a to to what
do you say to a T C. No, we're saying Sweden,
so we have a different alphabet there. Of course. It's
(50:22):
it's just very very straightforward monster movie. You know. It's
it's I really can't find any message in it.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
It's unapologizing. Yeah, this shut up science and just let's
do it. And then there's skeetss I did.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Like at the end they have like a little decoy
where where like the pretending to be consoling the captain
away from the door, and then Ray White comes in
and Ali, we just kind of popped out of owe
and punched them in the face. I think that was
that was well done. As a little memory has that
you know, that got me? It's good. I yeah, it's
(51:04):
a fun time. But speaking of deeper meanings, I don't know.
I don't know if there any deep means, but I
do know how deep the film is tenuous. So listener,
say this is your first time listening to the show, welcome,
whenever we cover a new film. As I'm going through,
I work out, because this is deeply see the podcast,
(51:24):
how deep, how blue? And how much at sea the
film takes place at and what's on the screen, et cetera.
So of course that's we all know. Deep Blue Sea
is on average about fourteen and a half meters or
forty seven and a half feet deep, about thirty one
percent blue, and eighty nine percent of it is at sea,
Mark Fred, do you think the Rift is deeper, bluer,
(51:47):
or more at sea than Deep Blue Sea?
Speaker 3 (51:52):
It's deeper, Yeah, for sure, it is, definitely, it's quite blue. Also,
i'd say, I mean inside the control it's very very blue.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Less blue, I'll say less blue. Okay, well, no, but
he's in the water with the seaweed.
Speaker 3 (52:11):
Yeah, Jesus Is.
Speaker 1 (52:16):
I'll stick with less blue. And then it's in the
ocean almost almost immediately. But gosh, but he's in the
bed in the beginning.
Speaker 3 (52:30):
I guess they're they're deeper into the sea.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
I mean there they get going quick. But no, not,
it's not as se as much. It's deeper and it's
not as blue. Okay, okay, well it is. It is
definitely deeper. This is our second deepest film, next Underwater.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
Next to Underwater, Underwater works out being nine point four
kilometers deep on everage, this is seven point eight, so
it's it's actually pretty close. Like Leviathan is third, and
that's four point four kilometers deep, so this is almost
double Leviathan. But it's it's deep. So it's twenty five thousand,
six hundred feet whatever that is in miles. I don't know.
(53:20):
Blueness it is close, it is. It is bluer than red.
So deepest is thirty one percent. This is forty four
and a half percent because not only as it when
they're underwater, very blue. All their uniforms are blue. As
he said, all the lighting in the control room is blue.
There are scenes in the control room which is one
(53:40):
hundred percent blue, never doubt red it. So it's bluer
than the Racken however, you say that we'll never get
it right, and less blue than Jews three D, which
is still the bluest of the Jaws films. Oh no, sorry,
gels A Revenge is bluer as it's Jaws. It's the
third blist scratch everything I just said and seen us.
(54:00):
It is slightly more at sea see do see eighty
nine percent the Rift ninety one? Oh man, that was
because they get to see pretty quickly. It is quite
a short film, though, so you got a factory in.
This is percentage, but it is quite a lot of
it at sea. And then the credits are also over
the sea. At the end of the thing. As this
is third in our senus, it's only beaten by lifeboat
(54:23):
and abandoned ship, all of which are entirely at sea.
They start at see the end at sea. It's just
a little bit of Stuias at the start where it's
not at s So yeah, it's third on that so
that's that's the ranking. That's where it sits on the
wonderful spreadsheets.
Speaker 1 (54:41):
I love this list me too.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
It's my baby. Great well, Fred, thank you once again
for recommending the rift and for joining us to talk
about it. Do you have anything that you want to plug?
Speaker 3 (54:55):
Following No, not really. You can find me on Blue
Sky and Instagram as Homos Satanist. That's basically where I
spend my time on the internet nowadays. Yeah, that's my
and you know, if you like UFOs, buy my book
No the Lights High Strangeness in Sweden. I know that's
(55:16):
not about movies, but it's about you regardless.
Speaker 2 (55:22):
Guess is a Betty dancer. She plugs her Betty Dancing
trip and and we encourage it. So plug whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (55:28):
All right.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
You can find my book wherever you buy books and
give a nice review of it. Thank you, excellent.
Speaker 1 (55:35):
Any plucks, just listen to movies on the flakes. I
got some rotten tomato stuff out. Uh well, I'm writing
something for the National Highway Transportation Agency about what would
happen if Superman sped as fast as he could fly
(55:56):
and chaos One.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
Of those sentences where I could not predict the next
word at any point in that sentence.
Speaker 1 (56:05):
And Johnny Storm speeding in a car as well. So
it's for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and fandom.
They have me writing scripts about speeding and they're they're
doing a campaign about speeding catches up with you, and
I'm writing about Superman driving. So I don't it's been
it's been fun. So I got those scripts, so I
(56:26):
get weird assignments and and this is definitely one of them.
Speaker 3 (56:32):
Yeah, I need to just to ask you shortly. I
actually watched The Shark recently enjoyed a lot that was
forty seven meters down on CA.
Speaker 2 (56:47):
Yeah, it's a great one.
Speaker 3 (56:51):
I love it. It's a great one. I just wanted
to let you know.
Speaker 1 (56:55):
I love descent sharks. Yeah, I can't see they're all
battles guarred. Yeah. Man and Jay and I both watched
Dangerous Animals recently and we loved it. So that's worth
a watch. Okay, Sure is.
Speaker 2 (57:08):
Forty sevent cage forty five point seven percent blue anyway,
not forty seven meters deep? It lied, It's only seventeen
point four anyway. I don't know how much does it
see I haven't gone back another one again yet. Listeners.

died in Deep c spoilers, so we're dealing with the
aftermath of that, going into the tunnel, the whatever's supposed
too the shaft. Eh, yes, that's the one, the elevator shaft.
It's late. I'm tired, so come back next week to

See you next week.
Hello, and welcome to Deep Blue Sea the Podcast. I
am Mark Darkness and Goosebumps Hofmeyer.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And I am Jay one Ugly Baby Cluet. On this podcast,
we've been through the entire Deep Blue Sea trilogy scene
by scene. We're doing it again. But we also loves
to talk about deep c Jason films that's film stretched
by Rindy Harland featuring sharks or a coding action, or
films that take place really really deeply underwater, which is
what we're doing today with The Rift. What is the Ring?
(00:41):
Does It? Boy? Does It? The Rift is a nineteen
ninety Spanish English language Spanish sci fi horror directed by
Juan Pique Simon I Believe Apologies, starring Jack Scallia and
his incredible hair, Ali Ermi, Ray Wise Deborah, an international
(01:01):
cast of stereotypes who over the course of about eighty
three minutes, they come and they take a submarine down
to try and find another submarine that's very very deep
in the ocean, and they encounter all kinds of creatures
and beasties down there. It sounds like some kind of
paper yet, a napkin monster, that kind of thing. So
(01:26):
we need a guest who introduced us to this film.
He was on I think earlier this year, even to
talk about Chapter Deep. We see he's very familiar with
all kinds of other worldly goings on that that seems
to be his bread and butter. So welcome back to show,
Fred Anderson, Fred the Rift, thank you for.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I love this movie.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Thank you, and I mean I'm so happy you enjoyed it.
You know, I'm always always nervous when I recommend movies
to people. But I knew somehow that I could trust you.
I mean, you have the Deep Lucy podcast, so of course,
but I felt I had this deep instinct within me
who told me that these guys will enjoy this movie deeply.
(02:11):
Oh we do.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I mean, listen, the world is one big laugh factory.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Okay, okay, that whole I enjoyed this film. This isn't
a good film. I had a great time watching this.
But this film needs a rewrite.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
This fair rules and you know what we have a
new like Wick Hayes is he should join the Ripped
Alcoholic Club with Jason Statham from The Meg and Patrick
Wilson from the one where he fights the Moon Moonfall.
I love, I love a good ripped alcoholic.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
When we found out Wick was his first name, I
lost my mind. He just call He's called Wick for
like twenty minutes and it's like Wick Hayes. No, wait,
hang on, his first name is Wick. That's not.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
The first there's Stemsland in this He's.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Taken to a character called Jake Pliskan in the opening scene.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
You know what's crazy about this movie. This guy helped
engineer two submarines or or developed the plants for two
submarines that can travel to like twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Thousand, thirty five thousand, thirty five.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Oh yeah right, yeah, yeah, like thirty five thousand feet
blow the ocean surface. And the entire time people will
be like, oh, this is some ship you built. Oh,
this thing just keeps breaking down, Like this guy kind
of sucks. This guy. This is a Nobel Prize.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But that's saying that because the first ship he designed
has apparently failed in some way down to him as
far as they go, So this guy designed the ship
wrong and back down another in the same ship again,
and then it turns out no, it wasn't him, and.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Like they mess with it. It's like, hey, this thing
can go really far under the ocean surface. Like, well,
we're gonna tinker with it. No, don't do that. Well,
we're gonna do it anyway. They him, and this thing
would be like and Sven Sven like skeletons. He he
(04:35):
absorbs incredible pressures, very very This movie rules. It's like
science shut up. Yeah, we don't care. And it's gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I love this science shut up film. Favorite kind of films.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
There's a fish tank in the boat just like it's awesome.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, it is awesome and and yeah, you need to
judge it for its own universe, for the universe it's in.
That's how. You can't compare it to the Abyss or
deep it is. It is the rift universe. It's the
multiverse kind of not really, but it's it's it is
(05:21):
what it is, you know. That's that's how. And that
goes for all of Simon's movies. You know, you have
to just take a deep dive into his very very
specific way of storytelling and and and and gory fun
and you will realize that this is a really great movie.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I'm not I I had a great time. That's the
This film was a ride. This that there is so
much crammed into less than an hour and a half.
I was not bored. You cannot be bored watching this film.
The final act is bonkers. That when they're just throwing
animals at all over the shop and there's a giant
(06:03):
starfish thing on the wall, that's it looks great. It's
a terrible character.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Lovesome, but.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
He will a a coworker using these like micro microscope
glasses that are going to make it a worse experience
for him. Surely he's going to have a better view
without the glasses on. I get it. It makes it.
It's funny to look at it. He looks, he looks
weird with the glasses on. I get it. It's just like,
(06:38):
I didn't take this film seriously because I couldn't. I
just had I just went with it and had fun.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah, that's it. I respect that. That's fine. I won't
be angry or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm I'm still thrilled that you said, hey, we should
I want to talk about the rift. It was like, great,
let's talk about the rift and if we are.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I wish I wish I would have this when I
was a teenager, because whenever talking to women, I would
have been like I knew that there were hormones larking
somewhere in that luscious bat.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh my god it was. That was like ten minutes
into the film. I had taken a full page of
notes already. I was like, I literally I wrote down,
I am taking too many notes, and I had to
just like pace myself with my note taking, like this
Episod's gonna be three hours longer though it's become of
everything I write down.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I actually took some notes. I rarely take notes when
I watch movies because I have this big ego and
I think I will be able to talk about the
movie without not really remembering it. But I did take
a note about Jack Scalia's hair, which is sunning.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
It's dunning.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, yeah, it's kinda it's really it's it's it's its
own character basically, and I mean it's probably you know,
that hair together with what do you call it in
the English language? Is the left in his.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Shin chim chin dimple?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I guess is that? Yeah? Yeah, that combination makes Jack
Sky in this movie maybe the perfect star, you know, yeah,
a star.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
A p Absolutely, he's very much in the in the
Kurt Russell vane of action hero. Big hair just it's like,
you know, cool guy, so.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Much hair, so much hair, and it stays bouncy throughout.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, it's very very nicely calmed, you know. It's it
has a volume, you can say all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
He's also in a TV film from tex called Crack
and Tentacles of the Deep that might well be joining
the list at some point.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Even when he wears a mask and hoodie so he
doesn't absorb terrible gas that people just take their helmets
off anyway and just bring it in, you know. But
he takes it off and his hair goes back. It's awesome.
This movie rules. It's barely a movie too because holding credits,
(09:17):
you know, it has the chillest credits or like the Rift.
It's very kind of bland for the movie it is.
I don't know if you notice that, like chill font
for a deep sea movie.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I didn't notice this, but you know, yeah, please tell
us more.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
No, it's just really like there's there's no It's like
it's like not Calibri or Pacifico or Comic Sands. It's
just the stockst stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Ever. I was just fascinated about it that the dp's
name is Juan Marine oh, perfect for this film, and.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You lived to one hundred and five years.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh that's he was born.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, is that correct?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I don't I thought Mark, I don't know. That was
one of those times you're like, is he telling the truth?
Was he just making something up because it's not here?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Let me look cinematographer one one Marine, because I was like,
that's a great name.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's impressive. And so when was what was the first
time that you you encountered the rift? When did you
how did you sink into.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Well it was it was, yes, sink.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
That's only some times they dive on this podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, yeah, I was about to say that I dived
into it on a sheep the HS cassette in the nineties.
It was released on a what do you say, low
priced company, but you know, quite cheap, one of those
cassettes the HS tapes you found in in a pile
in the you know, yeah, bargain bin, in the bargain bin,
(11:04):
and and I mean it had this this lovely cover,
you know, with the with the sea and there's some
monster lurking and there's some stuff going on. And I
watched it and I loved it. And then it took
years and years until I watched it again, and that
was on a horror convention in Germany, and there was
this rumor, really there was a rumor that The Rift
(11:28):
was coming out on DVD that weekend. And I was
like looking around every there was like hundreds of people
selling DVDs. And soon or later I found the guy
who had a little piece of paper where he said
that he was selling The Rift on DVD, but he
already sold out the copies he had, and but he
(11:52):
looked at my face and he saw my disappointment. So
he left his little store in this convention center and
did a car trip. It took it took him three
hours to go and get new DVD copies off the Rift, right,
And yeah, legend he understood, he understood pure And that's
(12:14):
when I watched it the second time. And then later
I bought a Blu ray and it's one of those
movies I watch at least once a year, you know.
And I believe first time I watched it, when I
was young, I probably didn't even understand that it was Spanish.
You know. It just felt like yet another you know,
the direct video Corman flick or something like that. But
(12:36):
it had that beautiful European craziness that I love so much. Yeah, So,
you know, I got attracted basically because it had a
lot of monsters. And you know, if a movie have
a lot of rubber monsters, I kind of automatically loves it.
(12:57):
You know, it doesn't matter if they're good or you know,
bad made or something like that, but it's it's just
the idea of rubber monsters popping out everywhere. That's beautiful.
That's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
There are great rubber monsters in this There's one that's
kind of looks like, oh gosh, guys, this is gonna sell.
What's that thing in the back of your throat that
just kind of hang like. There's one Yeah, it just
looks like that and it's just uh and it like
swings at somebody and like wax them in the head
(13:27):
and it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeahula, that's what it Isla.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
It looks like that and it's just it just you
could tell some some special effects guy was on a
ladder dropped it and then it swung at the person
and bumped them in the head.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
By why Philippe Heli.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
H What's great too, is that this movie has a
personality to it. Though, like people are called squid face
and and like I love that his ex is on there,
wix X is on there, and they just get into
an argument. He's like, stop acting like a spoiled schoolgirl
and your precious feelings. And like, there's a guy playing
darts horribly.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
He's not even looking, he's not even he's throwing.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
And then when when they cut to the dark board,
there's nothing in it. So I'm like, where the darts go?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
In a conversation off to the side, and he keeps
on throwing darts.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Let's drives me nuts, Like where are those Those darts
don't go anywhere too, they miss So like that I
love that scene. But just like wick hay Is, everyone's like, oh,
the whiz kid, the WonderBoy, but he kind of is
a wonder boy.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
He saves the day multiple times.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
He's like, hey, guys, we should do a test. No,
like your your thing failed, yeah, because we didn't do
a test.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
He saves the day and then gets total for saving
the day.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Come to my office.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
There's one of the characters. I'm pretty fascinated, but I
don't remember his name. I don't know the actor's name,
and what I'm going to tell you it's not funny
or witty or anything, but he he looks annoyingly much
like Michael Fastbender, the actor in especially in in uh Prometheus. Yeah,
(15:12):
and it kind of sits in Yeah, and it's it's
it's like I couldn't stop watching him just because of that.
And he had this slight German accent or something. Did
you notice this? It was almost annoying, But he kind
of looks like an uglier Michael Fastpender.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Basically, I think that's probably Philip. I think he has
like he's I think he's supposed to be French, but
he's like waivers across the continental Europe during the course
of the film accent wise. So yeah, but yeah, I
I as see what you mean. He did look very
(15:50):
reminiscent of Robot Fastbender.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah. Maybe maybe not very, but it's it was enough
for me to get distracted. Yeah, It's kind of kind
of felt like, what's what's the what's his name? Now?
The Alien director? Did you watch The Rift? You know?
Did he get inspired or something by it?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, I mean this was they changed elements of this
to make it different from Alien because originally was supposed
to be set in space, and then they change too,
which which means we can talk about it now, because
I didn't know if it was set in space, we
wouldn't be talking about it. But it sounds to water,
so we do. And that's great, So good, good choice
everyone involved with doing that.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I love that they had big sets, like they never
set the size of the astronome, and uh, I love
like that giant creature at the end. I mean it
does eat skeeds. But like, you're right, if there's if
there's rubber monsters in it, I'm gonna watch it, like
I I love a good rubber monster gets head.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
By one, Yeah, shoots out of this tunnel in the water,
just head bunts him and he becomes paralyzed and convulsing
from being head by by Robert monster. That's great.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And he sticks his head in the hole like this
is uh you.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Know, kind of reminded me of what do you call it?
Whackam mole.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, And there's some pretty good door in this movie.
The creature effects are nice, Like I like watching these
creatures explode and you know, spends a little adventure in
the seaweed like that's that's just a good time.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
It's a good exploding head too.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yeah, exploding head blows up, the shoots in the head right,
and then it's just blood everywhere.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
But does she really shoots him in the head. I
was thinking about because I watched it twice now and
it just seems like she's about to shoot him in
the head and then he explodes or is she actually
doing this brutal way of killing him.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
They they say when they hand the guns out that
they're like extra super powerful guns. So I do I
do think because like later someone gets shot in their
arm explode as well. It's these are just like exploded
like explosive rounds in these guns and just blow people up.
But before that guy his head explodes, he's like he's
(18:10):
the guy who gets headbed and convulsis and then there's
like something inside him that's milling around and squirm and
it's it's like the Scarabe it was in the Mummy
kind of thing, but bigger. And I think that was
that was well done for a film with with clearly
quite a limited budget.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
The guy who worked on it was Colin Arthur. He
did the makeup effects he had done like Clash of
the Titans. He worked on Open Your Eyes like he
did the special effects on that and talked to her,
which is kind of crazy. But now the guy has
been like he did a lot of makeup department, but
he's also worked on some pretty great movies, like so
I think they had a pretty good crew here working
(18:49):
on the special effects. So I mean, yeah, the guy
did Never Ending Story. He worked on Total Recall, so
he did Never Ending Story, then he did the riff
the creatures, and then when he went to work on
Total Recall.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah, but it seemed I read somewhere that had quite
okay Bodiet, I mean it, yeah, allegedly, I can't speak
English properly here two million dollars in Buddiet, which is
I would say quite good for a Spanish you know,
rip off movie from from the early nineties, you know.
(19:25):
But I also heard that it was you know, the
La Rerentis who financed it, So you never know, there
one I need. I don't know if you're familiar with this,
but you know, my my, my, my line of business
is the is the weirdest UFOs and ghosts and stuff
like that. That's what I'm doing. And I find I
found out and I didn't know that until today that
(19:47):
the first draft of the script was two hundred and
fifty pages.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yes, and.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It was written of course, but the original draft that
was written by one Colin Wilson. Do you know Do
you know who Colin Wilson. Well, he's probably one of
the more famous kind of esoteric authors, and he wrote
about paltergeists and UFOs and occult He wrote hundreds of books.
(20:21):
He basically wrote everything that he got paid to write.
You know, he wrote, you know, sex manuals basically. Sometimes
he wrote satires, He wrote philosophy, He wrote every book,
every book you can imagine. And he wrote one of
the best UFO books ever written, Alien Dawn, which is
(20:42):
kind of an in depth dive into the phenomenon. So
it's so. He also wrote What's that to Toby Hooper
movie set in London, Life Force. Yeah, he wrote the
book that. Yeah, so he was a really cool guy.
(21:04):
But like The Rift, Yeah, he obviously wrote the first
draft of The Rift, and I would have loved to
see his version, truly, that would probably have been It
probably was very very different. I guess they just cut
away everything that was serious and philosophical and just aim
for the gore and the camp.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I'm imagining a four hour version of the Rift.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now office visits were there be come to my office?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Really?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Okay, so there's two three four hours, eighty minutes forty
three that's what I'm thinking, come to my office. No, yeah, no,
at least okay nine nine office scenes.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
At some point one of them they switched places and
like Wick, it's now Wick's office. Over course of the
meeting that Wik takes over and sends the captain the
captain away and then like captain, come back in my office,
and the two of them.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
It's it's such a sweet scene when the second time
Early Army calls Wick to go into this office and
he first bashes him a bit, and then he says,
you did a damn fine job. That that's that's a
scene that almost brings me to tears. You know, it's
so beautiful, you know, it's it's kind of like the
(22:31):
it's kind of like early Ermi's version of slow Clap
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah, I enjoyed that scene.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And also Wick does it well. Wi's not like okay,
Wick's like thank you captain, Like Wick is classy in
that moment.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
You have that mutual understanding, you know, man o man
or you know, it's it's it's a it's a beautiful moment.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
If I was part of that crew, I would just
like one them should always be getting in trouble. So
Ermie has to go talk to him in the office,
so he's just never around. Just I've got to my
office and like he comes back out someone else said
something sassy, not use then all right, let's go to
(23:19):
my office and just it's just a cycle of him
being gone. And also, like ray Wise becoming the villain,
is that he didn't have enough time to rip off
the abyss, did they.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Well it's that and it's alien as well. He's home.
But I'm currently going through Twin Peaks. I'm doing it
for the first time. I'm doing like right up for
each episode, and ray Wise is in Twin Peaks, and
my whole thing I'm going through is is assuming ray
Wise ray Weiss did it, because ray Wise, in my
head is always the bad guy in anything. And okay,
you know Ray's secretly did whatever, and then he's in there,
(23:56):
so that well he's got he's gonna be the secret
back guy. And of course ray Wise is this secret
bay in this, so it's just he's playing he's playing
into my conspiracy theory that Ray Wise always plays the
secret bad guy in everything he ever does. I assume
I'm not that farign too a pis yet, but I agree.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I mean I was thinking the same thing with Ray
Wiss if I actually forgotten that he was the bad guy.
Uh until I start watching the movie and I start
I looked at him and I thought, Okay, he looks evil. Yes,
it's Ray Wise, he must be the guy. It kind
of reminds me of Bruce Payne, who I've seen in
countless movies, where he always plays a nice guy in
the beginning, but we all know that he is the
(24:36):
bad guy. There's no so it's never a surprise. With
the Bruce Payne, he's always the bad guy. And almost
the same thing with Ray Wiss. I'd say it's.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Just per fifty seven. You're like, that guy's bad.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It's like it's him, it's James Cromwell outside the Babe.
He's always going to be a secret back guy.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You know what the key is you you can't look
like a Michael Wincott who you're like, that's a bad guy.
You know, like whenever you see wing Cot you're like
and you hear him talking, well, he's a villain.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
This is this is my thing with Dennis Quaiit Dennis
quite looks like a villain. Ray Wise looks like a villain.
Like there are people who look like villains. Dennis Quaid
keeps on kidding himself but trying to not be a villain.
But he looks like a villain. This is my whole
I've been saying this for years. People like, what are
you like Dennis quack because he looks like a villain.
I don't know how does no one else see this?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You know, who's a good undercover villain as David Morse whenever?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
He who's nice?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Pet if you look at him and you're like, I
like him, he's nice, and then you're like, well, no, wait,
he's a villain, but he's great.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
He's so wholesome.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
He's been a villain a couple of times. And you're like, oh,
you got me. You hire the nice character like people
who look friendly. Because Cromwell's just kind of like a
stern dad. So you know he's gonna be bad eventually. Yeah,
but yeah, you knew this dude was going to turn
also be in a submarine movie would be kind of
(26:06):
boring because you're just it's just you sort of sitting
next to a desk, like plugging stuff in.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Just checking a screen. Yep, blips are still there for blips,
and the bloops.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Take us down to six hundred. Okay, captain, and he's
gonna go. And then you're like, we did it. How's
a torpedo bay looking? You like, open it up good
and the close it.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I don't. I don't generally like submarine films for this
reason because they're always kind of boring. But as soon
as yeah, so like hunt for I'm not found a
Hunt for October, I find it boring. I know, Mark,
I get it. I'm sorry, but it.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Was in voluntary. Everyone can have one feelings day. But
as soon as you said that, something in my body
just went. Tony Scott loaded it up with so much
sweat and smoke, you're like, all right, and a lot
of intensity and people yelling you.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's still boring for me.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
They're all on gimbals too. It's like whoa you know,
shooting around.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
To fix a submarine film, you got to add in
monsters or ghosts or some something else. So we talked
about blow on here. I like to Blow because Blow
is a is a haunted house film on a submarine.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Great.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I liked The Rift because the Rift is weird. Monsters underwater, Great,
let's go. Let's go find that.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
It goes thirty eight thousand feet underwater, goes really far.
They should have died on the course coast of Norway.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, which, I've just been there. That's great, It's it's
we whatever. I've just been tonnoying. And now every bit
of media I see someone that's referring to NOI the
book I'm reading talks about noise. The Rift has noise
in it. I just I just been.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I'm going to Norway on Friday. Oh yeah, I'm going
to sit in a car for twelve hours and you're
going to go up the mountains and live in a cabin.
There's no electricity, there's no you know, there's no phone,
internet or anything like that. So it's a I haven't
been to Norway for many years, and now when I'm
(28:21):
going back, I'm going into the wilderness and I absolutely
love that. I'm so looking forward to not have a
computer or phone or something. It's a it's a what
do you say? It doesn't matter for this discussion. I
just wanted to that's great.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
How are you going to watch the rift?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Well? I watched this twice. Now you know.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
You know what you can do. Get everyone in a
circle and just tell them the rift, the story.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Okay, toast marshmallows and talk about.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, really ripped dude in a bed drunk. Just two guys, the.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Most the most hay you can think of.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Most hair. Like you think it's a pillow, you think
it's a dog, it's a guy's head. He's passed out.
These two. His name is Wick Wick Hey, last name,
no first name name.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Two guys walk by, like one of them Stegland, Steamland,
Stevia Snake, and they're like, hey, man, you built a
boat that can go forty five thousand feet underwater. Some
people tinkered with it and messed up without behind your back,
but it's your fault. So you're going to Norway at
(29:43):
eight hundred or whiz kid. He's like, well, the world
is just full of lass.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So okay, okay, I just want to that that do this.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Bread and film like.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I will, I will, you know, or during the twelve
of our car trick, I will tell them.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
You can tell it. It's twelve hours eighty minutes, which stops.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
To the four two hundred and fifty papers.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
You could get. You could get this in you know,
five six, seven times.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
So yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, I'll do my best.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Make up the Rift too be like, okay, the Rift too,
back below wix back.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I would love to see a sequel to this one.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I actual see.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I mean this could be you know, like a franchise
like like Deep Luci basically or you know, uh yeah,
back below. It's a good title.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
They they went thirty thousand feet into the ocean to
do tests. That's a big venture.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Well, they're going to find the submarine that's lost. I
don't know if that first submarine was supposed to have
gone that deep. They're just trying to like follow in.
Oh yeah, sorry, you're saying that the overall because yeah, yeah,
I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
They have dogs and animals there, and like they brought
stuff there mm hmm ice.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
It's amniotic sacks full of human with things. They blow
it all up.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
It's just seed in tissue monsters. This tissue monster is
still in the ocean.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I do like that. They say, oh yeah, this is
too deep a photos of this this see weed shouldn't
be down here, and it's just you know, we do experiments.
That's that's how we're just experiments. It's not like but
but no, that's just experiments. And then it's just it's
just a part of explosive barrels and they shot blows up.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
What would have happened is do you guys know what
had happened is then at that.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Deep he would have died. It would have been very
painful for a very short amount of time, and then
he wouldn't be around anymore.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I guess you would like, yeah, that's a lot, that's
a lot of ways to go.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
It would be kind of funny if they're like, hey, Spen,
get out there, and as soon as you get outstairs, here.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Wait, what did he Why is the water red? What's
that cloud? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
And I know this is in the world of the rift,
but yeah, they're saying that the pressure would also lead
the lung collapse and just you would crush immediately, which
is But I like when when he's screaming the wife,
the ex wife or ex girlfriend's like, I think something's
wrong out there. Oh man, what a great movie, you know.
(32:39):
I didn't even think about how deep they were the
first time I watched it, I just had a smile
on my face. It wasn't until the rewatch when I
went did they just say twenty seven thousand feet?
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Like what? They almost full into the crevice. It's forty
five thousand deep when they do it, I'm going for it.
For into the crevice, going forward in fall into the crevice,
Go diva. And they didn't. That was disappointed. Wick stopped
them and lodged them and decided what could be down there?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Who knows the rift to.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
The rift too? Yeah, still rifting.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Statham comes out. But we can have a team up
of two ripped alcoholics, one with great hair, one with
no hair.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yes, it's the Rift. It's the ripped r I p T.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
They both have axes on the boats. Sure, they're both
in a bad spot and have to get recruited. People
don't trust them at first because remember like the doctor,
they're mad at them because people died, so they messed up.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Doctor dies in both cases. But they.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, so these two guys working together, yea, the Ripped.
I love this movie.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
So when when I can't, I'm not sure what the
lady with the luscious bod when she shoots the gul,
she shoots the guy. She she reports back to the
captain over the town and is like, Fleming is dead.
I'll explain later, and this walks never explains.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Can we talk about skeets please?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Let's talk about he can't swim or he can't he
can't swim. He has nothing but equips, but they equips
that aren't great. His quips are like somebody, but I
do something, response to something. And White Boy first he
(34:54):
dies hard. He like getting sucked into the tentacle thing.
It's a big death. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
And he's also in water World. He's a plane gunner
in water World.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Mm hmm okay, I didn't know that, you like.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
And he's king and out for justice and he's in Dude,
where's my car?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
This is John Toles Bay with my car?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
So what are some other moments that you love here?
Like uh Fred, like or like what are what's your
what are the moments that bring you happiness? Like when
you watch this on DHS when you when you learned
you could get it on DVD, Like what's like what
moments do you hold on to?
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Well? I would say, I mean the last half hour
basically is worth every penny, you know, all your time,
and because it's non stop monster action, and it's so
it's so much gober monsters and you have that I
don't know how to describe this most it's kind of
like some kind of weird fantasy dinosaur coming out from
(35:58):
some show revis and biting someone, which I kind of
kind of very very different from the other ones. I
suspect they took some monster they had in the basement
they used it. I like that one, but I'm very,
very very fond of the wacamole sequence because it's like
it's so funny somehow, and like you said, he's looking
(36:19):
into the hole and they're coming out, and it's it's
and they kind of look like this. These monsters kind
of look like I don't want to actually, I don't
want to say any dirty words, but it has the
feeling of the top of a penis coming out, yeah,
which which I found very music. But you know, I'm Swedish,
(36:41):
so we we we often have this this this this
way of thinking.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Actually the head of a fly, you know, the massive
eyes on the side of the fly, That's what I was.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
I love phallic monsters alien and like what DreamCatcher there's
a great, great thing about phallic locking monsters.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
But as I'd say, my my my favorite character in
movie outside of Wick of course, is ray Wise. I
think it's always great. He's always stealing the show when
it's when when he makes a movie, and and it
kind of in general, I would say that the whole
cast feels very inspired. And I suspect they got quite
good pay you know, from those two million dollars, they
(37:30):
probably got not a bad paycheck, you know, so they
probably gave it a lot because this is a movie
where it could have been so easy to just call
it in, you know, cashier paycheck and go home. I
mean earlier ermy is. I mean, imagine that guy did
Full Metal Jacket and a few years later he did
(37:50):
the Rift.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
I like that guy, which they quote full Metal Jacket. Yeah,
that's one of quips is when the driving the stuff
down the long tunnel, He's like, this feels like a
go for suck through a garden hose. It's like, wait
a minute, no you can't, no, no, no, hang on,
Oh yeah, he's that that three years ago a different film.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, what do you what are your comfort food watches Fred, Like,
what are some movies that you you put on and
you just love, Like they're what's your top four comfort food?
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Oh? I have a tunnel comfort comfort movies. They're usually
quite generic, you know, they don't they're they're kind of relaxing.
I don't laugh at me. But one of them is
a Kevin Costa movie. I think it's called correct me
(38:45):
if I'm wrong. I think it's called Mister Smith or
something like that. The serial killer movie mister Brooks, Mister Brooks,
Thank You, which I've seen countless of times, just because
it's so relaxing to watch. It's Kevin Costal playing a
serial killer. That's fun, and it's kind of just professional,
you know, it's a it's a it doesn't stand out
(39:08):
except that Kevin Costner is a serial killer. But it's
it's it's like a just a very well made movie.
Uh uh, this sounds like get I guess like an
anti climax here, But I mean it's a Brooks is
one of my my comfort movies.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
I need to watch it. It's as a seven point
three on IMDb score. Yeah, I mean, but like it.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
It is a great movie.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
It is so h you know, it's interesting what you said.
Sometimes just well made movies that aren't they don't make
you jump up and be like, oh my gosh, or
they they aren't. They're so good that they don't have
moments that are bad that you're like, oh that's bad.
When they're just good, you can just kind of chill
and watch them and enjoy it because you're not your
heart rate's not accelerating. Yes, you're not jumping out of
(39:54):
your seat, and you're not bored. It's just good. Like, uh, yeah,
there's this movie Other Monsters that is really easy to watch.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
But yeah, it's just good. It's not like you're never
I don't know, you know what I mean like it, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Totally, that's exactly the kind of movie. I mean. Another one.
I actually think this is a great movie, but I
realized many people find it just a well made movie,
and that that's a Richard Gear movie. The Moffmann Prophecies.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Oh yeah, that's another good one.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Yeah, it's it's a good one. But I've seen it
so many times. It's one of those movies I can
just play in the in the background while I'm doing
some work or or making food or something and it's
such a familiar feeling to have it have it on. Uh, yeah,
that's you know, it's I have kind of generic Hollywood
(40:53):
movies as you know, as as comfort movies he has.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
He has a calming, calming presence. Though Richard gear Yea
and kind of Costner to an extent, they're very You'll
never really see them run in a movie.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
Right, trying to think, Yeah, like this, like, I think
Costa might be one of cinema's greatest walkers.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Given that he's been in quite a lot of sports movies,
like picture him running, Yeah, like Baseball, he's a picture.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
You know, in the draft days, drafting people like he's
water World. He's not swimming a lot.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
I feel The Dreams is just a lot of walking
and sitting. So yeah, and then gear like The Jackal.
I don't think he really runs in The Jackal. If
you do, that's an action movie.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
If you google Kevin Costs the Running, you just get
McFarland USA.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
And he's a coach, the coach but running. That's and
like Gears in Runaway Bride, but he's interviewing a lady
who runs away, you.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Know, in the nineties in the nineties. When I was
a teenager, I had this idea that I refuse to
watch movies with Kevin Costner and Richard Gear and all
those you know, traditionally handsome guys who was popular. You know,
it was like it was too mainstream for me because
I just wanted to watch Full Cheer or Hong Kong
(42:21):
movies and stuff like that. So basically the nineties is
still a treasure trow for me of great movies because
I didn't watch them. I refuse to watch movies with
these guys in so now when I'm I'm in my
forties and I realized, wow, this is a Kevin Coster
movie from ninety five I haven't seen, I'm like right
on it. So that's that's kind of that's a that's
(42:45):
one of the nice things with getting old and have
passed as a stubborn, moronic teenager, you know. So I'm
grateful for that experience.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
I've got a lot of entry Tequila Sunrise. There's so
many good trashy thrillers from the nineties like Jade and
Last Seduction and.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
Oh the hot Spot with Don Johnson. Maybe it's late eighties.
Have you have you seen the hop?
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Yeah, it's a nineteen ninety Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
It's a masterpiece. I'd say it's like, it's one of
the best movies I've watched during the recent years. This
was one of those movies I avoided in the video
store because you know, it looked silly, And now I
watched it, I think maybe last year or two years
ago for the first time, and I was like, blown away.
This is a this is a nor monsterpiece.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
I'd say it's ninety Jennifer Connolly, William Sadler, Charles Martin Smith.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Yeah, fantastic cost.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
Yeah, you need to to to see this movie.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
I'm mad in it right now.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
Great one great, one time too?
Speaker 2 (43:57):
B What are the jack now?
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Week?
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (44:00):
So what are there so we got? We got two
movies from you?
Speaker 3 (44:04):
What?
Speaker 1 (44:04):
What's what are some other I like these? I'm learning
about some neat movies. Here. What else you got?
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Oh? Really? I have eight titles behind me? You know.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
For me, I thought it was Night's Tale because beautiful,
you know. You know what's funny about Nightstiale When he
gets discovered, there's issues for about three minutes and they're
like it's cool. And then when when he gets an
argument with Shannon Sassaman. She's like, yeah, just get beat
up and you can have me back. And then he
gets beat up and they get back. Like there's no
like the lows are only lows for about fifteen seconds,
(44:37):
and so it's just a very it's a nice hangout picture,
I think, because there's really nothing groundbreaking, like there's no
big emotional sweeping scene. You can just put it on
and enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
And it's a great like supporting crew that's putting teams
yeah around them as well. Mark Haddie Yell and Tunic. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
That evolution are my like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
Evolution, Yeah, I have I have two more comfort movies.
Only you're discussed in this podcast. I'm sure that sure
of that. And that's Leviathan. I watched hundreds of times,
you know, tons of times. I love it. It's very, very
very it's such a safe movie to have in the.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
The best jump shot in cinema history.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah, and then we have a monsterpiece Star Crash by Luisgicosi,
which I I think it's it's probably the best Star
Wars ripoff ever made. And it's so corny and campy,
but it has such an even quality when it comes
to she'e. It just works. It has Carolyn Monroe, it
(45:44):
has David Hasselhoff, it has Christopher Plumber. It's like a
fantastic movie. I I can't even count how many times
I've seen it. It's it's like a it's a it's
a work of art. It's not too Yeah, of course, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:03):
I got the hot spot in Star Crash. I need
to watch, right, Jay, what are yours?
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Like?
Speaker 1 (46:09):
You haven't told me your comfort food watches?
Speaker 2 (46:11):
I mean it's just we talk about Deep In, Jurassic Book,
Wooley Amili, these kind of films. Yeah, I don't have
films I kind of. I don't have many that I
go back to. Like if I ever have a sick day,
I tend to watch something new because I've got so
many films I need to watch. But yeah, yeah, Early
(46:32):
Pixar is comforted for me. Find finding Nemo toy story
like anything. I just like, so you got it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Yeah. We watched Deep Blue Sea a lot.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
We do. Ronnie Hardman has been my most watched director
on other box for four years straight.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Now, what's the most comfort aside from Deep Blue? See,
what's the most comfort food? Harlan film? Oh it can't
be Cliffhanger because that one.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
Just I mean, the one I've seen the most is
probably die Hard too, but I don't. I don't loved
I had to. Yeah, it's a comfort film. I get
stabbed in the eye with an icicle.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Uh no, oh, good Night goes Hard.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
It does? I think Driven wind Hunters, no, Mark, No,
because not Driven. Driven the least comfort film.
Speaker 3 (47:19):
I'd say mind Hunters way way too many times.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
The movie rules, Yeah, it does.
Speaker 3 (47:28):
It's simple. It's just it's just, you know, it's it's
nothing special, it's just there. It just exists in some
kind of limbo kind of just floating around. But it's
it's it's professional.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
I would say if I Mind Hunters and Skip Trace
like on our.
Speaker 3 (47:48):
Oh okay, if.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
We're allowing films to produced, then Blast from the Past.
Oh the Past is a great But he didn't direct it.
He just was involved in some capacity.
Speaker 3 (47:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
Talking about it someday.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
Do you have any Hong Kong films to recommend Hong
Kong cinema? What should we be watching?
Speaker 2 (48:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (48:06):
Yeah, of course, I mean Eastern Condors of course.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
I just bought that on Criterion.
Speaker 3 (48:11):
Yeah, it's fantastic. It's such a great movie. Tiger on
the Beat, of course, which is a great one. Full
Contact Tiger Cage two, which I I like. I I
have to be fair. I haven't watched it since the HS,
but I still remember it vividly. It has such great fights.
(48:31):
You know, there's a there's a Taiwanese horror movie with
David Moores and I can't remember the title at the moment,
which is really disturbing and has some great head shopping
going on in it. Of course it's not it's not
Hong Kong, but it's Taiwanese. It's double vision vision exactly
(48:53):
great one, great one, very very underrated. I'd say to yeah,
it's everything on two there.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Wow, whoa, this is a heck of a cast.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Yeah, it's a great cast. But we were here. There
is one cut version going around, and there's the longer
unrated version, and you and you kind of need to
watch the unrated version because it has all the gore
in it. It's kind of gone in the shorter version.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
Just saying I'll pay attention for that. I got some
good stuff to watch here. I know we're supposed to
be talking about the Rift, but I enjoy this this
is a fun conversation, and basically me talking about The
Rift is just going I love this movie.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
It's a crazy if people listening and want to check
out The Rift, it is. It is on YouTube, it
is Where did you watch it? Milk? Where's it in
the station? GM plus MGM plus? It was on Prime
when we scheduled this, but it's not on prim anymore.
But it we're back at some point. I'm sure it's
it's very short. It's less than an hour and a
half long. It is well worth your time.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
It is.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
It is fun. You will not be bored.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
Yeah, exactly. It's not really so much to talk about. Actually,
I mean it doesn't have any deeper meanings or or
you know, you know, it doesn't have anything like that.
It's just it just goes from a to to what
do you say to a T C. No, we're saying Sweden,
so we have a different alphabet there. Of course. It's
(50:22):
it's just very very straightforward monster movie. You know. It's
it's I really can't find any message in it.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
It's unapologizing. Yeah, this shut up science and just let's
do it. And then there's skeetss I did.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Like at the end they have like a little decoy
where where like the pretending to be consoling the captain
away from the door, and then Ray White comes in
and Ali, we just kind of popped out of owe
and punched them in the face. I think that was
that was well done. As a little memory has that
you know, that got me? It's good. I yeah, it's
(51:04):
a fun time. But speaking of deeper meanings, I don't know.
I don't know if there any deep means, but I
do know how deep the film is tenuous. So listener,
say this is your first time listening to the show, welcome,
whenever we cover a new film. As I'm going through,
I work out, because this is deeply see the podcast,
(51:24):
how deep, how blue? And how much at sea the
film takes place at and what's on the screen, et cetera.
So of course that's we all know. Deep Blue Sea
is on average about fourteen and a half meters or
forty seven and a half feet deep, about thirty one
percent blue, and eighty nine percent of it is at sea,
Mark Fred, do you think the Rift is deeper, bluer,
(51:47):
or more at sea than Deep Blue Sea?
Speaker 3 (51:52):
It's deeper, Yeah, for sure, it is, definitely, it's quite blue. Also,
i'd say, I mean inside the control it's very very blue.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Less blue, I'll say less blue. Okay, well, no, but
he's in the water with the seaweed.
Speaker 3 (52:11):
Yeah, Jesus Is.
Speaker 1 (52:16):
I'll stick with less blue. And then it's in the
ocean almost almost immediately. But gosh, but he's in the
bed in the beginning.
Speaker 3 (52:30):
I guess they're they're deeper into the sea.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
I mean there they get going quick. But no, not,
it's not as se as much. It's deeper and it's
not as blue. Okay, okay, well it is. It is
definitely deeper. This is our second deepest film, next Underwater.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
Next to Underwater, Underwater works out being nine point four
kilometers deep on everage, this is seven point eight, so
it's it's actually pretty close. Like Leviathan is third, and
that's four point four kilometers deep, so this is almost
double Leviathan. But it's it's deep. So it's twenty five thousand,
six hundred feet whatever that is in miles. I don't know.
(53:20):
Blueness it is close, it is. It is bluer than red.
So deepest is thirty one percent. This is forty four
and a half percent because not only as it when
they're underwater, very blue. All their uniforms are blue. As
he said, all the lighting in the control room is blue.
There are scenes in the control room which is one
(53:40):
hundred percent blue, never doubt red it. So it's bluer
than the Racken however, you say that we'll never get
it right, and less blue than Jews three D, which
is still the bluest of the Jaws films. Oh no, sorry,
gels A Revenge is bluer as it's Jaws. It's the
third blist scratch everything I just said and seen us.
(54:00):
It is slightly more at sea see do see eighty
nine percent the Rift ninety one? Oh man, that was
because they get to see pretty quickly. It is quite
a short film, though, so you got a factory in.
This is percentage, but it is quite a lot of
it at sea. And then the credits are also over
the sea. At the end of the thing. As this
is third in our senus, it's only beaten by lifeboat
(54:23):
and abandoned ship, all of which are entirely at sea.
They start at see the end at sea. It's just
a little bit of Stuias at the start where it's
not at s So yeah, it's third on that so
that's that's the ranking. That's where it sits on the
wonderful spreadsheets.
Speaker 1 (54:41):
I love this list me too.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
It's my baby. Great well, Fred, thank you once again
for recommending the rift and for joining us to talk
about it. Do you have anything that you want to plug?
Speaker 3 (54:55):
Following No, not really. You can find me on Blue
Sky and Instagram as Homos Satanist. That's basically where I
spend my time on the internet nowadays. Yeah, that's my
and you know, if you like UFOs, buy my book
No the Lights High Strangeness in Sweden. I know that's
(55:16):
not about movies, but it's about you regardless.
Speaker 2 (55:22):
Guess is a Betty dancer. She plugs her Betty Dancing
trip and and we encourage it. So plug whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (55:28):
All right.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
You can find my book wherever you buy books and
give a nice review of it. Thank you, excellent.
Speaker 1 (55:35):
Any plucks, just listen to movies on the flakes. I
got some rotten tomato stuff out. Uh well, I'm writing
something for the National Highway Transportation Agency about what would
happen if Superman sped as fast as he could fly
(55:56):
and chaos One.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
Of those sentences where I could not predict the next
word at any point in that sentence.
Speaker 1 (56:05):
And Johnny Storm speeding in a car as well. So
it's for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and fandom.
They have me writing scripts about speeding and they're they're
doing a campaign about speeding catches up with you, and
I'm writing about Superman driving. So I don't it's been
it's been fun. So I got those scripts, so I
(56:26):
get weird assignments and and this is definitely one of them.
Speaker 3 (56:32):
Yeah, I need to just to ask you shortly. I
actually watched The Shark recently enjoyed a lot that was
forty seven meters down on CA.
Speaker 2 (56:47):
Yeah, it's a great one.
Speaker 3 (56:51):
I love it. It's a great one. I just wanted
to let you know.
Speaker 1 (56:55):
I love descent sharks. Yeah, I can't see they're all
battles guarred. Yeah. Man and Jay and I both watched
Dangerous Animals recently and we loved it. So that's worth
a watch. Okay, Sure is.
Speaker 2 (57:08):
Forty sevent cage forty five point seven percent blue anyway,
not forty seven meters deep? It lied, It's only seventeen
point four anyway. I don't know how much does it
see I haven't gone back another one again yet. Listeners.
