INTRO
Oh hi,
I’m just an average looking white guy named Jim in a minority majority horror thriller film…what could possibly go ….ahhh my arm.
Oh, speaking of white guys. Have you seen my uncle Bob? He got me this job. He is this fancy looking white fella who keeps Benjamin’s seat warm back in the city. You met Benjamin right? He’s our investor who can’t shut up about avalanches.
Anyway, my uncle Bob just sits there keeping Benjamin’s seat “ass warm” looking around like he is part of whatever conversation is going on. But he’s really just there because Benjamin can’t get his own ass warm anymore. Not since the avalanche. Oh God, don’t get him started.
Well, thanks for listening. Now excuse me, I have to go be a shark propelled projectile strapped to a gurney. Things don’t end well for me. Could be worse I suppose.

Deep Blue Sea (1999) – Like watching a movie about sharks while Samuel L Jackson is telling you the plot to Avalanche. Uh oh. better get Mako.
SHOW NOTES
I think there is a water motif
Pasty white teens make out! to what sounds like…Good and Plenty.
Better than average teens on the top of the boat…
Oh no! They are going to get the ocean drunk on wine!
This shark is like the Give a Hoot owl of the ocean! I SAID A HOOT DON’T POLUTE…SNAP SNAP SNAP I got your pasty white girlfriend!
Music..Music…Music…
Bad boy friend is bad. Headbutts his girl off the boat. Then
Hey! It’s Ahab to the rescue!. Yay! The great white savior!
It’s that lady who is in everything. Spice…Debbie Spice.. ….no… SAFFRON BURROWS!
A money man who’s name is Franklin.
haha!!! Why is he standing over a white guy in a chair?
Each time you told him she was dead! Lie lady! Why would you tell your dad EACH TIME!!
Wait…so she can fly a plane…but chooses to be shuttled by Helicopter…I’m not say you can do either or if you can do one…but…
Alcatraz Floats! I got IT on the brain and that makes me giddy
“What do you think Amigos…She’s a 12 footer.”
hehe…Samuel L. Jackson’s Tattoo is good…not great…but passable. I’m getting old.
So far this music is all over the place. But I like it…seems to flow with the emotion of each scene..also a few homages.
Is the license plate ate by a shark joke over yet?
“Beneath it’s glass surface. A world of gliding monsters.” – Perfect Line.
A Skeleton Crew on the weekend.
“You trust me…do you know why? Because I’m trust worthy.”
A con recognizes a con.
Money Money…make the world go round.
A foul mouthed fowl. So are we to assume the parrot has been exposed to many expletive based gangsta songs?
A pastry chef on the floating Alcatraz?
Well them sharks ate them other shawks. Little baby shawk.
Chef and bartender.
Foreshadowing? Leave dying to the white folks?
I wish I had started counting all the ocean puns from the start.
Sharks never go blind, have cancer or stuff.
They are hunting in packs…like wild dogs. They only eat other sharks.
Sharks can’t swim backwards or recognize guns. It’s impossible.
In 1999 did we still have static on screens when cameras were eating by sharks!
Carter has one move. Swim away…psyche! I’m in your sharky face!
This movie is full of puns.
Bad dreams? What does a shark dream about?
“This? oh it’s just some Alzheimer patient’s brain matter that we keep alive in the lab to experiment on. The patient? They are fine. Everytime they ask about the surgical wound on their head we just tell they there loved ones are dead. We really are good people. Wanna touch it? ”
Goodbye arm.
Man, this film is really invested in saving Jim. We followed his story all the way up stairs and to the helicopter…and uh oh…there he goes into the drink.
Was that place made of explosives? How much fuel do you need for floating Alcatraz?
I love that LL is the every man in this movie
“Tell me what that is” …well….it’s Jim the projectile.
This movie was made to be sacked.
Without the slow motions scenes this movie would be about an hour.
This movie was influenced or parallel to Michael Bay films?
I’m glad they got the Mall Kiosk Map of Floating Alcatraz in this movie.
If a bird turns and runs…you do the same.
Think so? Not a chance.
It’s always the shark movie problem. How to get the sharks to the people or the people to the sharks.
I love that LL never names the bird…he just calls him bird.
The confrontations of the brainiacs
Other than the floating playboy and the over sexed teens at the start of this movie…there is no love affair in the movie. Ok…maybe LL and his bird.
Uh oh…better get Mako…
Your plan “is swimming out of here?”
Cooked in his own oven. LL Cool is about to get hot.
Sharks ain’t got no good vision
No matter how bad your situation is. There is always somebody got a story about a situation that is worse. “You think water and sharks are bad. I once had to walk out of an avalanche.”
Getting chomped giving your “come together” speech is the best.
Kind of sad though. I was really hoping we were going to go with the rich guy saving us and not the not so love-able white guy ex-con.
Grab my hand! This guys love that trope. He loved it in Cliffhanger as well.
Wait…that’s it…! I got it. To the Mall Kiosk Map!
“Who ya gonna trust? The white guy from Cal Tech?”
The only sexual tension going on is between Preach and Cal Tech.
Perfect omelette…2 eggs not 3. No milk.
Flipped a couple of switches…Thumbs up and happy face…yeah…that ain’t gonna last.
Sure…humans can swim…but should we? We aren’t very good at it. We are engineered to do it.
Message in a bottle? Nope. Cassette tape in a Ziplock.
Nope..not a shark…it’s your buddy.
Well about time. I was wondering when the attractive doctor was going to strip down to her clean and matching underwear. Very creative way to get her stripped down.
So your plan is to bring as much attention to your area as possible?
Nooo…not LL!!
Grote…stab to the eye.
This shark is wanting to Free Willy on out of here.
Let’s A-Team this shit. Is there a new A-Team TV show that is a more recent reference?
Bait? What? Masterbate? What? Come to Mama.
Damnit Susan! “Huh…blood? In the water? chomp chomp chomp!!”
Susan’s plan was a poor plan.
What if your plan? Jump in the water? Punch the shark? Do that Toro Toro Toro thing?
LL is like…let me save this day.
You know. I’m not too broken up about Susan. She used to wait for her dad to forget about his wife’s death then tell him all over again.
Did they use enough explosives? Carter may have over estimated.
So Carter and Preacher hook up?
They just blew up a 45 foot shark…you better start worrying about regular sharks. that is a lot of blood.
LL Cool J has a song for the movie!!
