Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hello, and welcome to Deep Blue Sea the Podcast. I
am Mark Anti Hot Spring Unit Halfmeyer, and.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
I am Jay Hansen Shark Clue looking you aboard. It's
not deep. We see the podcast. I got an announcement
to make. This isn't deep. We see the podcast anymore. Mark,
this is Hot Spring Shark Attack the podcast. Yes, this
is because today we're talking about my new favorite film,
Hot Spring Shark Attack. What is Hot Spring Shark Attack? Great, amazing,
It's it's incredible, It's you are. Twenty twenty four to

(00:44):
twenty twenty five release, directed by Morijito in Our Way,
starring a lot of actors who I'm not familiar with
who many of them are on credits in the film.
It's exactly what it says on the tin as some
hot springs in Japan where the sharks are appearing. Sh sharks.

(01:10):
These sharks can do everything. This is this is what
I've said before. This film has everything. This film has
ever a thing. Yes, this film has electric sharks. This
film has giant king sharkswil who wear crowns that are
part of their body. This film has an Aquaman character

(01:30):
who wears a T shirt. This has sharks that can
squish their bodies down like octupy and go through pipes.
This is my new favorite film. I loved it so much.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
People eat submarine sandwiches while inside a submarine.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
They do this is something that happens in the film.
People get killed in their own bathtub. This is ghost
shark levels of effects and insanity. And I had such
a wonderful time. I was not prepared for how much
I enjoyed this film. There is so much. It's like
seventeen minutes long. It's a very short film, and they

(02:06):
pack a hell of a lot into that seventeen minutes.
I was exhausted after thirteen and just have to keep going.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I had no idea where this movie was going. So
it starts off as a kind of a Jaws homage
because they clearly love Jaws. You know, this movie is
marketed as like it was crowdfunded, and it's marked as
like one of Japan's for shark movies. Where when I
say shark, it's not like Laura Croft tomb Raider where
she punches a shark, like just because of sharks in
your movie, It's not a shark movie. So this movie

(02:35):
is a shark movie. Yeah, this is a shark Shark
Shark Shark Movie twenty five sharks get knocked out by
a very muscular man in a row like with one
strike each. You'll never see that. And so underwater underwater,
it starts off as jaws, then it becomes Arana three D,
and it becomes Piranha three D, and then it becomes

(03:00):
like twenty thousand leagues under the sea. Underwater comes like
a submarine chase. Yeah, and then Aquaman yep a mayor
gets his redemption.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
A character gets infected with a chalk bite ancient pathogens.
This does glowing pink a shock vaccine from a fin
to revive him.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
This is the type of movie where the sub submarine
made by a three D printer that is shot into
the water by a larger They call it a catapult,
not really a catapult, but it's a catapult and it
gets shot into the water and while it's being chased
by hundreds of sharks with e MP capabilities. It's an
anti it's an anti shark submarine. By the way, it
doesn't die by EMPs. So whilst it drops out human

(03:48):
dummies that get shot into the water like they load
up with decoys, decoy human dummy decoys that the sharks attack.
There's fake blood, it's a there's Morse code that's very
important in this movie. Sure, there's two influencers who go
down a slide and get swallowed whole while going down
the slide.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's a shock trap.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
There's a police chief who wants to become a novelist
or a vlogger. Yeah, there's mayor toilet paper.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
The mayor is also an influencer. Yeah. The YouTube a
YouTube channelscribed to.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
There's a scientist who's really happy to learn that her
other scientist friend was eaten because it's a great discovery.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, she like dives headfirst into his body bag. She's like,
it's the toilet from trainsporting. It's incredible. That's that's so
much in this film.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
And yeah, there's a montage with late weightlifting as.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
A montage of weightlifting cup with three D printing, Yes
and zoom cools. That's the montage Zoom cool three D
printing weightifting, Zoom cool three D printing weight The three
D printer is so big they printed a hotel with it,
and they demonstrate that it's so big by having a
show a regular three D printer and then a toy
truck next to.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
It, and then instead of a shark protocol, they have
a bathbuster call. Yeah, so like they're gonna blow up
of a spring city where the natural hot springs. What
a great movie, we got a great movie.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, just squishy sharks and squishy sharks. It's it's the
kind of film you cannot sit there and work out like, Okay,
well this does makes sense because none of it makes sense.
It's fine, don't worry about it. So they say, the
police said, ah, these these people, they found three people,
three bodies or the remains of three bodies have been

(05:42):
found in the ocean, naked, but with a hotel locker key.
And it takes some while to put together, like maybe
they were in the hotel and they were taking out
of the hotels.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Were there clothes? Maybe they ran in the ocean naked.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
And they weren't killed by shark attack despite only being
like parts of parts of people. There for the most determined,
they weren't killed by a shark attack. They were killed
by like concussive blows, being dragged through a small opening,
as if they had been dragged through a pipe perhaps,
And then every other death we see in the film
is very much clearly a shark attack. It's very much
like this person is being bitten in half by a shark.

(06:15):
This is what he's killing them. But that's not the
first three. The first three were dragged into pipes apparently.
And I love I love the There's a shot of
the police the police chief, who's like done with the day,
and he's kind of reminiscing on the day and he's
looking back and he's flashbacks, like the comminations he's heard
and the things he's seen, and it's flashback to him,

(06:36):
just like his head poked clearly into the doorway of
this crime scene investigation meeting that he's not part of,
just leering, just looming and leering at them in Sepia,
and it's there's so many choices were made in this
film by every character, especially the police chief, my favorite character.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Knowing so many movies people cut their hand and put
the blood in the water for the sharks. This is
a film where a guy cuts his hand and puts
blood on sand so that hot spring sharks can swim
through sands.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
At some point, the sharks make it to us. The
sharks go through the pipes, they stay in the water
and go through the pipes, and at some point the
sharks are like, oh, actually we can swim in anything.
We can swim in sand and tarmac and just whatever
you want. It doesn't matter. We have There's a shot
of some steam gone of the grates and then a
puddle appears, not connected to the grate. It's just like
in the middle of the road. Off to the side

(07:31):
of the drain, a puddle appears, and then sharks can
be in that.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
These sharks, jay everyone. The octopuses have nothing on these sharks.
These sims can squish themselves through the tiniest cracks in
the road.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, it's it's it's nuts. I loved it. And yes,
sharks will just the head of a shark will rise
up out of a puddle. And we've had roaring sharks
in the past. We've had drawing sharks and like chills
the revenge, but these are sinister, whispering shot just just
the heads a pair and they just go shines.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
The best shine this like this giant airplane, you know,
like almost Godzilla ask from like Godzillaver's Violante is coming
to battle these sharks. The shark blows it up with
an emp and it flies into the city and explodes.
Then we get this wide shot of a shark just
watching it explode, and then the shark goes shark and

(08:29):
it's a little head Zapp's electricity and then goes underwater.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Beautiful. You know, even.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Macho has like Macho has a arc in this movie.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
We need, we need to Estabish as a character. So
so go ahead, no.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
You go ahead. I want to hear it. I want
to hear it from you.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Okay. So there's there's an opening scene to this film
which isn't really playing to the rest of it, but
there's like a couple on a boat where the guy
pushes the girl into the water and she's like why,
and he just sees the shark fins and smiles and
just kind of abandons her, assuming she's been killed. He
like calls in a fake called the coast. Ah, a
girlfriend has been killed, Yeah, the idea, And then she

(09:11):
appears behind him kicks me in the face. Uh, and
then have a head shark is thrown through the air
and lands on the deck and like, what the heck
is going on? And then this guy, this muscular, shirtless
vision just climbs onto the onto the deck and it's
it's smat show. It's it's I've thought he was Aquaman

(09:33):
or possibly the Shark. I didn't know where this one
was going. I thought this is shark Man, but no,
this is this is the the Onsend Guardian. He has
a white T shirt with a logo that says bath Diver,
the Onsen Guardian. Onsen is the name of this hot
spring basically, I think, and this is the hot Spring

(09:55):
Guardian who can punch the ground and scare sharks away.
He can survive underwater for a long time, not indefinitely.
He will need to come back in with a canister
of oxygen. He can phase out of a ship, but
not into a hip. I think it's unclear of his
full extent of powers. But he he is the Onsen Guardian,

(10:18):
and he is delightful.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
He makes friends, he does.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
He has submarine sandwiches. And when he flexes his muscles,
you can hear it the manta tight leather, tight leather
of his muscles.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
What did you say? Zoom calls three D printing, flexing, weightlifting.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yes, just cutting between the three.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
But then he does Morse code at the end, he
kind of gives up. He's like I'm gonna die, and
then he punches the shark right and writing something inside
of it.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Right in the heart heart maybe, And I don't know
how we got access to.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
The heart as comes out, and.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
The methane are full of methane which can explode and
take out a helicopter. So I think you you're the
one who let will know. And this film is now
on the exploding helicopter list, so fantastic.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
I got the word out from that. I sent it
to exploding helicopter. But yeah, he punches it, it explodes,
and at the end, it's just him walking on the
beach for several minutes, looking buff, walking.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Into camera towards the police chief character, who I don't
think has interacted with this guy. This guy showed up
after the police chief had been eaten by a shark,
so the chief doesn't know who this guy is. Why
is this guy just striding across the sand towards me
as the credits play, and then we never find out
because that's the credits.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
This movie is crazy and it's it is all over
the place. I will say it pinballs all over the place,
but on a second viewing for this it's it's much
easier to because you know, I enjoyed the second viewing
more than the first because I could just settle in
the first time you're watching it, you're going, what the
what the Blazers.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
And yeah, that's how I was last night, and I
watched it again today. It's for the kind of deep
blue ranking it was. I mean, I loved it last night,
but I just had more of a bearing on, like, Okay,
so this is the pace we're working at it breakneck.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
I want my favorite part though, This shark talk smack
after it drops a plane, like it really does. And
I love that about it. Oh man, just I love
that there's anti shark submarine. I love that there's what
an anti shark unit or anti spa unit. Like it's
just a strange movie. People talk about jail food, they

(12:47):
sink a giant hotel made by a three D printer.
Influencers are not. They don't get a lot of love
in this movie.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
No, Yeah, because when they find out as a shark,
the mayor who was a prominent car who has a
massive arc across the film, he is like, come to
my hotel. I'll give you a voucher if you kill
the shark, and then a bunch of them they have
a shot were like a small group of boats are
out going out hunting for the shark, and the mayor

(13:18):
is like, there's not many people, and one of his
aides is like, no, this is raining. So this is
like huge, there's this many when it gets better weather
that we loa it's more. I think that's actually quite
a clever way to make a film cheaply, Like you're
not going to hire a hundred boats. You're like, oh,
it's raining, so there's like I'm five, I'll just just
have that bad weather and you know, have a few boats.

(13:41):
They're being efficient.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
I love this movie so much, don't you.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
I really do, Mark. I gave it four four and
five box.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I need I need to redo it. I really, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
I don't know where it's going to be in my
top ranking at the end of the year, but it
feels too high. But I loved it.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
I think I think I need to update mine as well,
because I think just second, I'm telling you this movie
so much, Jay, and I was able to follow it,
but you're just I don't know. I think the second
time around, you can really enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh Man makes me happy. Yeah, this this feels like
it's going to have a cult following in not a
long time. This is like Miami Connection kind of levels
of of cinema that we're dealing with here. My problem
the moment is what four images do I use for
the promotional What.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Do you think? Okay, let's talk about twelve.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
The shark appearing behind the lady in the spa. Just
lady lady ching out in the bathroom opening a Shokars
behind her. It's glorious. Then you have I piced to
screen grabbed all the shark attacks. So there's a guy
as a shark, like half hour the water with a
guy and it gets flailed around. There's my my favorite

(15:01):
shark death, which is not because of the death it self,
because how they'd realized it, which is a toy shark
drabving a toy, a toy doll, just like tracking it
down to one of the blood guys are just like they, yes,
that's going. It's clearly a toy shark and a toy
like a Barbie doll.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
That's my favorite. I think that is. That's one of
my favorite shots too, that the little blood spurt is
what does it?

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, I love them incredible. And you know Shark and
Pubble always fun the police chief in his shark when
when there's a couple of death like this, they kind
of have a paper or cardboard cutout effect. It's like
kind of South Park animation of a human inner shark
vertically and the shark of thrashing around and the human

(15:47):
just kind of thrashing around with it, and he's got
like his hands up like he's prepping for surgery, and
just the whole time, and you know he's dead because
the hands dropped down. A couple of those who got
the shark breathing the meat thane out because it's such
bright yellow. I've got the police cheaper his face of
deep magenta. Of course, We've got the Onsen Guardian. Yeah.

(16:10):
Shots in Guardian there is the three D printed submarine
on the launch er. There's a thousand sharks swimming towards
the camera. Yeah, and then there's the King Shark facing
off against the submarine, a literal king shark, a literal
king shark crown and all.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Could we get the submarine sandwich bit?

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Sure, absolutely, I'll put that in.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
I took a photo of the the Onsen Shark. How
they the what carturd on cartyard on Fauns called. That's
the name. I'm not quite.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Sure that's it Canabis.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, there it is, but they wrote they use a
hit the heat from the hot spring to generate energy.
In addition, it can swim very quickly and move from
place to place, from hot spring to hot spring using
the softness of his body. Uh. Starting there, they behave it.
They behaved as if the hot springs were their own
territory and seem to seek surprise and excitement rather than

(17:12):
the usual food intake.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's these shots can do whatever they
want basically, because yeah, these aren't regular shocks. These are
like ancient sharks. They find like a fossilized tooth, and
they think like, oh, these are like exciting, interesting, these
shots on native to this region. Uh. And then yeah,

(17:36):
after that point is whatever you want. These not regular shocks.
They can do whatever you wanted to do.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
We should have done a draft of our five favorite moments,
because I think we've just rattled off seventy five moments
we've liked in about three minutes.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, but it's the problem.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
But you know what's interesting too, Some a lot of
these movies they're they know they're silly, and I think
they're bad. I think this one. The director even said
it himself. I found there's not much interviews. I hunted
all over the place for interviews and I found one
where he's like, you know, I'd rather have bigger budgets,
but I just kind of work with what I do.

(18:14):
And but like he he he just threw everything at
the wall. And I think he is creative and how
he does it. And so even though this movie is
silly and it knows it, it's not. It's not like
a sci fi movie, if that makes sense. There's really
no grading characters aside from a couple of influencers. But
this isn't a movie that's like, hey, we're silly or

(18:35):
we're bad on purpose. Like this movie I think is
really creative and it's low budget.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, I agree. I was. I was concerned when we
had that initial shot and we see like a shark
fin and it's clearly it's like the worst cgi you've
ever seen. I was like, oh no, this one has
like a negative budget kind of but it's it's not
it's is. Yeah, it's not a huge budget, but they
did the best they could with it. They made a
truly entertaining film that is that is funny, but like

(19:04):
intentionally funny. There are jokes in here. There are good jokes.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
It's not just like hey, we're doing this, Yes, there's
maybe I could be a logger. I want to be
a writer. A police chief writing about you know, police stories,
and then his second in command goes, you haven't written anything.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, it's it's just there's like a lot of what
the police chief says is great and just just like
lines like the person of interest pit. All of this
is a shark that's been revived from ancient times like
these a lion said sincerely. That makes there are nonsense,
but they are it's funny. Yeah, like the person of
interest is a shark. It's a shark of interest.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Oh yeah, we did just name every moment.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Isn't the best way to cover this film?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
The mayor gets an arc the yeah, he gets.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Saved by the police chief, and then he'd like the
police she gets infected to the Mayor's like, I've got
to save this guy. He goes he goes to visit
the like recuperating chief, and the chief's wife slaps him
and that's that's it's very yours. You know, Karen gets
slapped and has a like a revelation kind but.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
I like this hotel, and you know, he sinks his
hotel and a bunch of rubble discilands on fake sharks and.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Which he misses the submarine which was in the middle
of them. But that's fine. It's all fine. And like
the doctor, doctor, what's co say? Is her name?

Speaker 3 (20:37):
You?

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Nakani is the actress she is is also a great character,
Like we're introduced to her. Her partner is like a
shark expose brought in to do that to spot and
catch the shark, but he's killed immediately, so much we
don't don't you find out that that's the shark expert
until like a few scenes later, I think, so we're

(20:59):
used to her, just like having a real like new
lady in town hanging out the window of a car
driving into town the beautiful sunny weather, and it's like, oh,
this should be like Reese Witherspoon heading into a new place.
She's moving to kind of thing. And then immediately hard
cut to the autopsy where she's identifying the body of
her close colleague and then she dives head first into

(21:22):
his corpse.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
She's jazzed about it.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
She gets she she is so excited about all these
all these sharks. She can't contain her shark facts and
just wants to inform everyone about it. She's great, but
then by the end of it, she's like, I don't
want to kill these sharks. We should like coexist, and
they talk around and then they kill the sharks. But
there's a little moment like, oh, don't blow the hotel.

(21:45):
We can coexist with the sharks.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
These sharks aren't co existing with anybody.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Jae no, no, no, wipe me out everyone, I.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Think once they just started murdering everyone in the blowing
up a train.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah, they blow up a train fight. It flies through
the air and lands on the Maya's team. It feels intentional.
It feels like the shark's meant to do this, aiming
for them, and.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
They had tickets to the train as well. Oh yeah,
you have a scientist who's just pumped about everything, kind
of like Dryfus was. You have you have the chief
who's retiring and just tired and wants to become a blogger.
Great aim by the way, amazing name with a gun,

(22:31):
many bullets.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Incredible incredible heat. Yes. So at one point there's a
shark is seen in the in the water, and the
Influence is like, I'm going to go catch it and
charge it the water because they're dummies, uh, and the
police chief then they just start like hearing bullets firing,
and the chief fires has gone so many times I
did not count the bullet holes. I like I should
have done to write no swimming aloud in Japanese characters.

(22:56):
So but like so many bullets, like so several thousand
j It's I feel like some of them could have
been You could have spaced them apart a little bit
to be bit a bit more efficient with his shooting
and still gotten the same characters in the sand. But
there we are.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
If you had a sex shooter, that would take you
a month, you.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
A long time. It does take him a while. He
is shooting for a long time, and I felt I
felt kind of bad for the acting playing the Influence.
It was just like on the sand protect like acting
like he's backing away and kind of dancing from bullets
being fired at his feet for like a solid three minutes.
I feel bad for the guy.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
You gotta sell it.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, he does and a little as a
little mini montage of all the police team being taken
out one by one off screen. Most of these sharks
are off screen until the end, where like they're just
walking along and they kind of look down and they're
like whoa, and then that's the character's gone.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
His shoulders bitten really quick, make sure yeah, and then
it's gone, yeah, oh yeah, what a picture. There's a lot.
And then it goes into a submarine like it's it's
a lot.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
I didn't a film called Hot Spring Shark at Egg.
I assumed it was going to be pretty surface level,
look like on land for the most part, but no,
the final act is underwater. They show at one point
in the screen they are eight hundred and nine point
three meters deep. That's a long work.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
What is this hot spring? Right, that's a giant hot spring.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
That's a giant hot spring. Wow? How deep are they?
How deep are these people going? And they just show
on the screens like thank you, thank you very much.
Great question. Do they eat each other?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Remember in Piranha they ate each other Parana three D, like,
how do they survive? Well, they eat each.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Other carnivals, Yeah, cannibals one and what are they sharks
eat each other. I feel like the king shark provides.
I feel like so like the king shark, there's so
many sharks, like, yeah, the big the big shark at
the end, I think provides for his minions, for his underlings.

(25:18):
Maybe so maybe like he goes out and hunts. Could
be she could be a queen shark that goes out
and hunts for whatever it is, and the other shark
is gonna feed on that. But I don't know. People,
it's the thing to eat people. They go into the
hotel and they bring out people and eat mm hmmm.
They're leaving bits, they're eating them all quite wasteful. Yeah,

(25:40):
I did. There's one shot of just like a disembodied
foot in a hot spring and the camera just stays
on it for a really long time. It's like cut
off from from like the shin down and it lands
upside down in the water and just hangs on it
for like ten seconds. Choice but sure by always show
a foot.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
And there's another scene with the police chief just is
sitting on a dock with an umbrella and harassing the foreigners.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, we're looking for.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Another body, just bothering them. Leave us alone. He's like,
I'm neither a scientist nor this, but it looks like
a shark's.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
A neurobiologist, don't. Yeah, what a movie? What a movie?
And then when they when the match show offers them
the submarine sandwiches and they're like, wait, you can talk.
What's what's your story? Match? Don't know what's his story?
And it comes to him and he's like, no, idea.

(26:39):
I have a memory of being born in a town
with an ocean view, and that's the backstory we get
for this superpowered guy. A Japanese equaman is like, I
don't know, not just a guy born near the sea.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
And he's a little flexing kid too. I love when
we first meet him. He has a little flex going.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
On, wearing the same T shirt. Just now it's massive.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
In the beginning part doesn't have the guy just boots
the woman off the boat because he's marrying somebody else.
He's trying to kill her.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Right absolutely, yeah, yeah in the face.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
I kind of like that.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yeah, that probably gets resolved. We don't, I guess, I
guess we don't need to. This would be if we
were to pivot up podcasts and do this film scene
by scene, we'd go insane. Yeah, trying to figure out
figure out. Okay, so who is this character? How does
this will fit together? Well, that's not going to happen. Listen,
don't worry. We're not going to try and do that.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Well, they're making another one, so that's good.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Race. I don't know, do we need another joy? The
joy of this was a surprise by all means, try
and make another one. I'll happily watch it. We'll cover
it on the show. But I feel like if I
go in expecting hot Spring Shark attack too and I
get Hot Spring Shark Attack too, I feel like I'll

(27:57):
be disappointed. I need I need it to be different
in some way. Yeah, it needs to be. I love
the Prime Minister's press the Prome Minister's press conference where
he's like, we're gonna he's just making out the announcement
and then about they're gonna they're gonna bomb where the
hot springs are and the press oh why, and then
we kind of cut to a close up and it

(28:17):
gets gets emotional. That was where my honeymoon was. I
love this place. It's real emotional scene for this guy.
We never see again until I think it's I think
it's the same character in the post credits scene, Yeah
who gets eaten, Yeah, by the venus fly trap shock.

(28:38):
Just he's just having a hot spring with teeth around it,
and it slowly closes around the guy and then he
screams and he's dead. So he's a venus fly trap
hot spring, Chuck.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
I wonder if that's a reference to remember in Oppenheimer
when the guy's like, let's not blow up the city
because we had our honeymoon there and we loved it.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yes, that may maybe maybe I can't. There's a lot
of people in that film, maybe too many. I've only
seen it once. It's a lot, it's a lot. I
have not really felt capable of going back to it.
I mean, well I didn't. I didn't need I didn't

(29:17):
need the Mayor when when the Mayor shoots the King
Shark somehow okay, the film ends with Batcho has gone
inside the King Shark, punched the heart of the King Shark.
The submarine has also gone inside of it. I think,
if I it is full of me saying so the

(29:37):
Matcho has punched the King Shark's heart enough to make
it fly up in the air above the city, and
somehow the mayor has now stood outside of the submarine
with a gun, with the police chef's gun that he
took half an hour ago, twenty seven scenes ago, and
he shoots the shark and says, smile you, son of

(29:58):
a bitch. I didn't need says another bit, a different line.
I wanted you don't, don't do the volin from jewels,
do be your own thing. Uh what could he have said?
I don't. I don't know what he could have said.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Let's do it.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
This is for skogs, So this is for you, ate
my bird. Let's see.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Let's see spring hotel. Uh, hot spring, you'll look attack, go.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Back to the beds and hell, it just says the
name of the film, Hot Springs. Attack you there it is.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Find another shark, you know, find another hot spring?

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Copile, it's king shark. Is that checkmate? But they are
dwell on the on the crownd.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
That's like pushing a guy named Cliff farm a Cliff Sure, okay, cerebral.
What else we've just been?

Speaker 2 (31:11):
I feel like the when all of the they have
glowing gills that make like this warm noise in the
light heart was like I loved every aspect of this.
There's so much going on. The Mattress tried to take
on the King Shark, which we haven't three sort of
the size of this shark. It is the size of
a mountain. It's huge, and he's punching it. He's taking

(31:34):
it on like one on one, unarmed underwater where the
sharques lives. He just he just like punched it in
the nose and they're like, oh great the sharks. We
point the nose and the nose just kind of pops
back out again, and then he's just like a barrage
of blows and like flattens the face of it and
still nothing.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
That's there's some good shots in this movie too, when
Macho's floating and the shark is coming up to eat him,
or actually that shark wins so much as eat like
do you eat a tic tac? Or like do you
eat an eighth of a like a one sixteenth of
a tick tack? Does that make sense? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:12):
I say, I feel like the shark maybe didn't notice.
It's like it's like krill. Yeah, they're a way of
eating krill.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
I guess it eats krill, but like a lot of it.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
They pick out one single piece of krill.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
It's like Mitch Tedburg says, I like rice because when
I'm hungry, I could eat six thousand or something.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, I don't eat a piece of a grain of rice.
That's like, I don't think you know, I found out
a grain of rice? What kind at one grain of
sticky rice? You know it's it's not I'm not I'm
not crossing the road for that.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
You're starting to sound like Chris Rock from a Cheap
Peete from his comedy specials.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Round Many Yeah, one rib Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
And also too, when the three D printed submarine is
going through the water, you can see that they did
a good job of the VFX because you can see
the crew inside of it when it's coming towards the screen.
So some good work in this.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
So I kind of like in movies where like you said,
when they drag the body but beneath the hole with
the puppets, that's a fun shot. And also all the
illustrations are really good in this. There's some very fun
illustrations that explain.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, it's like on the news broadcast they have cartoons
drawn of how the army are being killed by the
methane shocks. There's like dead soldiers hanging out of tanks,
like someone drew that quickly for the news in this world,
Well they already had it. I doubt they already had it.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
But is that much stock footage of that or stock drawings?

Speaker 2 (33:40):
You know?

Speaker 1 (33:43):
But I like that the drawings are good. I appreciate
the solid shots. So this is a movie where you know,
there's a lot of hokey stuff, but also it's creative
and where it does it So I like that. I
like that it's not just crap. It's not it doesn't
look like like just a flat shark film. And I

(34:03):
dig that because there's there's a lot to like here.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
I was. I was disappointed when they set up the hotel.
They say that it's a massive three printed hotel with
a bungee on the roof, Like we're gonna get a
bungee on the roof. Someone's gonna bunge you into a
hot spring game by a shark, and that doesn't happen.
The bungee never comes back. That was disappointing.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, that's that's Pirana three D.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Right. Yeah, they set it up with a bunge on
the roof, And why would you do that if you're
not going to have somebody bunging into a into a shark.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Would you bunge you off a roof?

Speaker 2 (34:36):
I don't think i'd bunge you for stuff. This is
not something that you know IM. I like a roller coaster,
but they feel very tame to me. But I'm not
like a big thrill sneaker in terms of I'm going
to jump off this thing. I feel like if I
had a bungee rope tied around me, I wouldn't be
able to jump off. I've done those like tree top
adventure trail things. Zip you have like a yeah, you

(34:58):
have like a zipline or zi fine, I'm fine with
the rope swing where you like swing into a big
cargo net. I always had difficulty just kind of leaping off.
It's just it goes against my internal like, but I
shouldn't leap off because we're high up. It's not gonna
so you know, in the past, I've sat down and
kind of edged myself off, which feels like, you know,

(35:19):
a pathetic way to do it. And I thought if
I had a bunch, if I ever to bungee, it
would be the same situation where I'd be like, I'll
sit down and very just like a little bit, a
little bit, little bit, a little bit, I've gone too far.
I wouldn't comfortably like and bungee, So no, I don't
think it's for me.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
The same like I was in Vegas and there's this
I don't think they have anymore, but the Stratosphere that
the hotel is probably still there. But they had this
roller coaster on the outside of it, and I went no.
But then they do have something that shoots you up
in the air on the very top of it and
you go down. It's like one of those fun rides.
So I did that. But I've seen slides, like clear

(35:59):
slides on skyscrapers, so you can slide down these like
it's very thick plastic or glass. But I don't want
to do it. I don't want what happened to Mark.
He was he was sliding on the outside of a
building and it gave out, Like I just don't want
to be that guy.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Sure, yeah, I have done the roller coast around the strats,
but I didn't do that. I didn't do the up
and down town everything. It was a family thing and
no one else wanted to do that. But my sister's
part at the time was willing to do the roller gast.
I wasn't gonna hold everyone up just for me. But yeah,
I didn't do the one that like leans over the
side and kind of drops you down like it's going

(36:41):
to send you over. They just want that goes round it.
I did that one. I don't know the last roller
coaster I did. Maybe that was like fifteen.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Ye, the sun sound great. I had a friend that
did one hundred skydives.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
I mean great, that's that's cheating death. Yeah, past like three,
what do you? What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (37:05):
And then you have to do your one hundred skydive naked?

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Do you have to? I think it's just do you
have to? No?

Speaker 1 (37:12):
But it's just sort of I mean, if you're gonna
skydive one hundred times, you might as well skydive naked.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
And like it just is it naked if you're wearing
a parachute.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
No, I mean, no one lives past one hundred because
you just jump out of a plane naked.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Oh I see, Yeah, Like it is your time. You've
done too much. Get out.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
That's how people stop at Yeah, it's your time.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
No, Yeah, you don't belong in this gene pool. You
try you're trying to get out and now we're going
to help.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yeah, exactly all right, we want to do the deep
blue sy.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yes, yes, how deep BALLU is? So our listeners, if
this is your first time listening to this podcast, we
are not normally this right as well? Sometimes we ask,
but normally we're a little more coherent because the film
often makes more sense, but it's less fun because of it.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Comedies either, No, that's true. True, that's a problem with talking,
Like if you do a comedy, you need to do
like five favorite moment draft or a stem. If not,
you're just us and then and then and then and
then it's time. But the scenes you love.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
So whenever we cover a new film, because it's a
deeply of the podcast, I work out how deep the
action within the film takes place, how blue everything on
screen is, and how much the film takes place at sea.
Deep with See, of Course, is approximately fourteen and a
half meters of forty seven and a half feet deep,
around thirty one percent blue, and eighty nine percent of
it takes place at sea. Mark, do you think Hot

(38:42):
Spring Shark Attack is deeper, bluer, and more at sea
than deeps.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
It's deeper it's not more at sea, so those two
but blue, Oh man, that's a pretty tough one. No,
it's not as.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Blue correct around. Yeah, depth depth wise, as I said,
it goes down to eight hundred and ninety point three
meters deep for the final act because a lot of
it takes place on the surface or in helicopters whatever
before that. It works out on average two hundred and
forty meters or seven hundred and ninety feet deep, which

(39:21):
is thirteenth on our list. It is deeper than Sphere
only just deepens Sphere, and less deep than The Little
Mermaid twenty twenty three remake Ballue in US it is
it was close. We see thirty one percent blue. This
is twenty eight point three percent blue, so it is close.
It works up being fifty three on our list. It's
bluer than the Sea Beast, slightly less blue than Shark

(39:43):
in Venice, which I think this is going to be
up on our rankings of like you're going to watch
a shark film, will Shark in Venice go Shark in
the Hot Spring Shark Attack New three? Everyone must watch.
And in terms of see, yeah, it's it's only thirty
eight percent of it is at sea, so it's more
at sea than Cruel Jaws, less at sea than Pirana
two this morning. Yeah, so that's that's how deep Blue

(40:07):
and see Hot Spring Shark Attack my new favorite filmy.
We did this jay me too. I can't understand whether
this doesn't have a UK really state set yet. Mark
very kindly shared his press link for it for me
to be able to watch it. I feel like the
rest of the UK missing out.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Justin so the guy who sent it to me, he's
the one who also had I learned about hundreds of
beavers through him as well.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
I did get one hundreds of Bab's vibe a little
bit from this. Yeah yeah, there's like thousands of sharks
kind of but yeah, if this, if you get a
chance to watch this listeners, then what just this?

Speaker 1 (40:51):
You can rent it in the States right now, it's available.
You can buy it in the States or rent it,
so you can definitely check it out.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
