This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy. And you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch. Too Scary, Didn't Watch. Hi, everyone. Welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily, and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley, and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sammy, and I enjoy watching scary movies and so I watch them so that you guys don't have to. It's a public service. We love her so much. How are we? What's up with us this week? Well, I discovered something really fun on YouTube this

week, you guys. Just need to. So someone introduced me to Lizzy Chi. I think that's how you pronounce her name. She's an extremely popular Chinese YouTube star who's bringing back rural nostalgia. And it's definitely some kind of propaganda from the government, probably. But it is unbelievable. And I highly suggest everyone go google her immediately after this if you haven't watched any of these videos they're like 15 minute long asmr-y like unbelievable snippets into rural chinese life that's so romanticized and so like not based in reality at all. But basically what she does is she like lives in this beautiful countryside with all these mountains with her grandmother and she has a massive garden and she just goes out into

her garden and just like harvests fruits and then makes everything out of that fruit or vegetable or whatever it is like from scratch with her like clay pots under like a wood burning stove and it's beautiful and they're like puppies in the background it's wild and i gotta tell you i'm gonna watch a video before i go to bed every night until i until I've watched all of them. Wow. Henley, you use YouTube in a way that I do not. Same. I don't even know how to begin discovering this on YouTube. How does one start? I feel like you always know the famous people on YouTube and I never do. And I probably won't look into this one either. I'm going to be honest with you.

That's really disappointing to hear, Sammy, because I feel like I did a good pitch for it. So I'm really upset. It sounds lovely. I actually need to shout out Leo, who I'm sure is listening to this. He's one of our most avid listeners, who's Tim's best friend. So his sister showed it to me and I was hooked. Hooked immediately.

Wow. Yeah. Anyway, so that's all I have to say about my week. That was like the highlight of my week for sure. That's great. That's great. A new discovery. I will check it out.

I feel bad. I'm going to check it out. A pity checkout. So sad. What's going on with me? Well, I wanted to say thank you to everyone for buying merch. We do have merch available.

Check it out. There's a link on our Instagram. It's very exciting. I just feel excited about it. I got a shirt and I personally love it. It's great. I got some socks. I'm stoked about my socks. I think I'm going to get a mug.

You can find all these and more. You can find all of these options. And then I wanted to say thank you to Megan McGee who wrote us the freaking sweetest letter that I've ever read in my whole life. It was so sweet. All of us were like in my whole life. It was so sweet.

All of us were like in tears reading it. It was so nice. Yeah, we recently also got a P.O. Box, which we're very excited about as well. Things are really coming up in the world here at TSDW. And then I just had a very stupid thing of what

something that happened to me this week. Which is that it's so dumb. I was reading then i just had a very stupid thing of what something that happened to me this week which is that it's so so dumb i was reading in my bed and i blinked for longer than normal and i thought the power in my house went out i literally that's not a thing i literally like you blinked for longer than normal i think i was like maybe starting to fall asleep and I like didn't know that my eyes were closing and I thought the power was out. It's never happened to me before. Wow. I really got startled and then I just started.

I could not stop laughing. It was so weird. I feel like that's something that happens to someone with like dementia or something. Really? It didn't feel normal that's really i i'm fascinated by what your brain was doing in that moment it was yeah me too it's similar it's similar to emily's sleep cove moment that happened a few weeks ago when she thought when she heard it over again. When I was inside of a time loop. Yeah. Something is

going on, you guys. Something's going on. And it's definitely not that we've been at home for over a year and are unwell. It's something else. And that's we just got to figure it out. Nothing's up with me. What's up with me? Nothing. I really hope by the time you guys

are done with yours, I would have something. All I'm going to say, I started watching The Mandalorian, finally, after much insistence by Jenna and Sammy, who you really like The Mandalorian. I do. And guess what? This is old news, and I

know it's not even the right name, and I don't know what the name is, but Baby Yoda is really cute, and I get it. That even the right name and I don't know what the name is, but Baby Yoda is really cute and I get it. That's all I want to say. I really get it. I also started watching it late and I texted Jenna and was like, Baby Yoda is pretty cute, huh? Has anybody talked about this? Has anyone noticed Baby Yoda?

I understand this is like a whole thing, but man, what a good idea on their part. And he's so small. He's so much smaller than I thought he would be. He's literally the cutest thing in the world and I would die for him. He's really cute. So, I don't know. I just, I get it. That's all I'm saying.

So, that's all that's up with me. Okay. Well, let's get into something that's the opposite of cute, especially for Emily, which is this week's movie, a freaking shark movie. Oh, my God. Our first shark movie. Our very first shark movie, which is surprising. It's been over a year, year and a half, something like that. This is episode 87.

It's our first shark movie. And it is Deep Blue Sea. It's our first shark movie. And it is Deep Blue Sea. It came out in 1999, directed by Rennie Harlan, written by Duncan Kennedy, Donna Powers, Wayne Powers, starring Thomas Jane, Safran Burroughs, Samuel L. Jackson, Jacqueline McKenzie, Michael Rappaport, Stellan Skarsgård, and LL Cool J. Wow. Stacked cast. Wow. Stacked cast. Wow. I...

I had no idea any of those people were in this movie, to be completely honest. Me neither. This is a huge movie. I mean, around when it came out, everybody saw this. I, of course, did not. I never have. I never will. But it's been such a movie in my head that I can picture the poster.

I hate it. I'm scared of it. I feel like this movie was huge, right? Wasn't this movie huge? I feel like it was pretty big. Yeah. I have no memory of this movie. I have not.

Really? Maybe you have to really be fixated on never wanting to look at a single image of sharks. I don't know. I think I think it's one of those weird things that just like when I don't know, I was living under a rock. It came out in like 1999. Right. That's right. I was like, that's exactly right. I was not I was not keyed in to the sci fi horror releases at that time, unfortunately. sci-fi horror releases at that time, unfortunately. Well, we have a guest here

with us today to talk about this fine piece of cinema. You may recognize her name because we talked about a movie that she both wrote and starred in in a previous episode called Lucky, which is available on Shudder, Shudder.com,

our favorite service. It is Bria Grant. Thank you for being here, Bria. Oh my God, thank you for having me. I was trying to be quiet and then my dog coughed. Like a gross, wet cough. So that will be in the recording on my end just to let you know that was not me.

Blame it on the dog. It was really gross. But anyway, I was I was as quiet as possible minus the dog. How's it going, y'all? Pretty good. We're so excited that you're here. I mean, it feels very special because we just were talking about your movie only a mere few weeks ago. And now you're on our podcast. It feels like something magical has happened. And, you know, I've been in a lot of horror movies. So I feel like I've probably been in, if you've done 87 episodes, I bet I've been in another one. I bet that was not the first one.

I don't know. I didn't look and see what all you had done. But I'm sure there are. Yeah, I'm sure there's others. I'm sure you've seen my face, but probably my younger face. The more youthful me. Incredible. Well, so what's your relationship to scary movies, Bria, in general?

It sounds like you've been in quite a few. But as a personal viewer, are you a fan of horror? Yeah. Like so besides them, like paying my rent for the first like 10 years of living. That would make me love them. Yeah. I always like love like November, December, because that's when my residuals come from the October buys. I'm in like a Halloween, like a like a Rob Zombie Halloween movie. I mean, like I'm in like some movies that I get a like good, good residuals come from the October buys. Cause I'm in like a Halloween, like a, like a Rob Zombie Halloween movie.

I'm in like, I'm in like some movies that I get a like good, good residuals. But besides that, yeah, I mean, I, I,

I love horror movies. I, I love them. I'm a subscriber to Shudder. Same. We love, we love Shudder. It's a great service.

I, I, I watched, I have an older brother, so I think that helps. Growing up, I watched horror movies and I am of the age where there was a weird era where children's movies were horrifying

and you had Return to Oz and Labyrinth and really horrifying crap like that. Then I was a teenager during the horror renaissance of the 90s. So like Scream, I saw Scream on opening night in the theater with like my girlfriends. And I, to speak specifically to Deep Blue Sea, I was starting to watch, I suggested it because I thought I hadn't seen it. And then about 10 minutes in, I was like, I've seen this movie.

I think I saw it in the theater. Like I just had forgotten. It's been so long I hadn't seen it. And then about 10 minutes in, I was like, I've seen this movie. I think I saw it in the theater. Like, I just had forgotten. It's been so long since I've seen it. But yeah, I mean, I watch a lot of horror movies. Maybe less during the pandemic. Because, you know, I've been drawn more to comedies during the pandemic. But I do love horror movies. And I like all kinds, all kinds.

Horror comedy, sci-fi stuff, shark crap. I don't know. Has there ever been one that's been like traumatizing or you've been like, that was too far? Most. All of them. Most of them.

Well, when I was a kid, it was Return to Oz. That one really, really scared me. I will say I didn't like – Human Centipede really bothered me. Oh. I could not handle it. It was – and this is so wild. I went on a first date to see Human Centipede.

No way. What? And then I left and I was so horrified. I don't know. I think I was trying to be cool. It was a huge mistake. There's definitely been a lot that have traumatized me because I'll go see a lot of indie ones and they're not vetted. You know what I mean?

There's some that go a little much. Too far. That go further than I would like them to. Yeah. We had a guest on this podcast who had a really funny story about human centipede. And I can't remember all the details. He's in the poster. He's not in the movie. But he's the like face on the glass with his hands up.

He just did like a photo shoot. He didn't know what the photo shoot was for. Yeah. That's what makes the story so crazy. He's in the ass to mouth movie. He's the poster boy yeah he's the poster boy he's the poster boy wow wow wow

okay so once you restarted watching this movie were you like oh I should not have picked this or oh no this is good no I loved it I loved every minute of it it's a so it came up the other day. I was talking to someone about sequels.

And they were saying that Deep Blue Sea 3 is a great movie. And I was like, I can't believe this. So I was like, well, maybe I'll watch all one, two. And then obviously you can't jump into three. Sure. You can't start with three. So this was why I brought it up to y'all, because I thought it might be a good way for me to jumpstart this Deep Blue Sea revisit.

Perfect. But once I started it, I was like, this is, this is going to be a great movie. This was a good decision. It's, it's, it's peak, like, great pre, okay, so like, obviously we have the shark era of, like, the, you know... What is that? Sharknado? Sharknado. I always call it Shark Tornado.

What up? You know, the Shark Tornado. Sharknado. Yeah, Sharknado and Sharktopus and all those, like, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those ones. So this is, like, pre that. And I, like, appreciate this still takes sharks seriously you

know like it's not throwing them into a tornado and like shooting them it's not ghost shark i don't know if you've caught that one which is where a ghost is it haven't i would say don't don't worry about it it's like that's like a shark can appear anywhere where there's water and it literally like oh my god jumps out of a slip and slide. But like sharks got dumb. And this was like, oh, sharks are pretty scary. Like that. And I appreciated the the fear factor put into this one.

Yeah. Emily, why don't you tell us a little bit about your personal fear of sharks? I don't even know. I honestly don't know why I'm so scared of them Or if I can place it at a specific moment But honestly the second You said sharks can be anywhere there's water I was like oh my god that's terrifying I used to be so scared I would psych myself

Out when I'd be in a swimming pool And I knew there weren't sharks in it But I would be like what if there were a shark In the deep end and then I would like Swim so so so fast and shallow As quickly as I could. I wish there had been... Well, I don't wish there had been a traumatic experience,

but I wish I could point to a thing and say, this is why this is why I'm scared of sharks. I think I just... I grew up in South Florida, so I grew up going to the beach a lot and it just felt like they could be there. And I just... They're very present i really i really

i like can't look at them i don't want to look at pictures of them and as i've gotten older sammy you love sharks my boyfriend loves sharks i'm growing to respect them as a respect them you've got to respect them incredible creatures i don't sharks. I am scared of them and I don't ever want to look at them. You know what really got me? The first Planet Earth, there's this, oh, there's a scene. I don't know if you guys know it.

The Great White jumps out of the water to get, oh, like a seal or something. I don't know what it gets. But, oh, I, it like makes me want to cry. I was going to say we're losing her in this description. I see her putting herself back at this moment.

Yeah I need to not. I'm excited to hear about this one because it'll be interesting will it be just as hard to hear about? I don't know. Probably is the answer. But we've yeah I mean obviously put off doing a shark movie for this long because. Not consciously because of Emily's fear, but maybe you were kind of guiding us away from shark movies. I might have been guiding us.

But I think I think like you're right, like shark movies where the enemy is is a real shark and it's like treating it realistically. The enemy. The enemy. What else did you call it? I don't know I just think of wearing like a gun holster or something the villain? I don't know the villain I don't think there have been very many

good ones lately that we would even cover there was that Blake Lively one right which is like yeah people liked the shallows. There was that Blake Lively one, right? Yeah, people liked the shallows. Yeah, that's the Blake Lively one. It's good. I liked it. 47 Meters Down. That's one that I've seen the picture of.

Yeah. Oh, well, Open Water. I guess that was a long time ago, though. Open Water. I'm more scared of just being in open water in general. Water in the ocean is so scary. Yeah. I've never seen open water and I don't know if I will ever see it.

It's too scary. It's so scary. Water is terrifying. One of the scariest things. Honestly, even the parts in this movie where it's just water flooding into hallways is, I mean, so stressful.

So scary. Oh my God. There doesn't need to. So scary. Oh, my God. There doesn't need to be a shark. Water is scary enough. Flooding into hallways. Now I'm curious. What are the mechanics of this? Sharks in hallways?

I'm going to have to find out. Hey, everyone. It's cocktail hour. This week, we'll be drinking the very aptly named Deep Blue Sea Martini while we enjoy this film. In order to make this drink, you will need two ounces of vodka, three quarters of an ounce blue curacao, half an ounce sour mix, and half an ounce pineapple juice. In order to make it, just gather the ingredients and in a cocktail shaker, fill it with ice, pour the vodka, blue curacao, sweet and sour mix, and pineapple

juice. Shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. It will be a beautiful blue color. Okay, enjoy! A little bit of trivia. I'll not do too much, but I'll tell you our favorite things. The budget was somewhere between 60 and 80 million. It made 165 million. And I just liked this. It's rated R for graphic shark attacks. Oh, God. Very graphic.

Thomas Jane is one of the stars of this film, and he shot some stuff with actual sharks. And he was very, very scared of sharks. And they made him basically like free swim with the sharks. It looked really scary. There's so horrified. Emily looks really upset. the sharks it looked really scary there's if you go on youtube you can google or search for making of deep lucy and there's some good behind the scenes videos of this that i've spent my afternoon watching um and they made him film all this stuff at the end of the shoot. The implication being he could die. He could be eaten by sharks.

And the person that's like leading it in these videos is so like not making it seem less scary. He's like, these are wild animals. They could rip you apart. Their teeth are razor sharp. Like he's like making it seem way scarier than i feel like oh man okay thomas jane jump in okay here you go um and there was just one quote from samuel l jackson where he says working in the water so much wasn't just unpleasant it actually led to an accident that made it into

the film at 1.3 tons of water got thrown on us by accident. We got swept towards cargo bays and everyone thought we were going to drown. People were tumbling around this metal grating. We scrambled up and kept acting, but everyone was kind of upset because they had hit us full on with three tons of water. That wasn't supposed to happen. And we didn't have safety harnesses on and we were flailing around. But I thought it was pretty funny when I saw it in the final film. I thought, oh, they kept that. I mean, I guess if you got to use it, if you already did it, the most realistic looking take. But three tons of water being thrown on someone by accident sounds pretty bad.

I like how that happened. And he says they just kept acting like they just acted through it. He's got to commit. Yeah, committed he's a pro he's a pro absolutely a pro of course uh that's all i got uh but i guess also just that they built like pretty impressive animatronic sharks for this a lot of the sharks that we will see in the trailer are uh some some are real from their shoot after the uh after the main shoot and some are animatronic ones that they built and some are cgi but the animatronic ones are really quite impressive i thought they look great yeah they look really good the cgi is lacking but also yeah the year. It's the 90s. What can you do? Yeah.

It's also kind of more fun when the CGI is bad, in a way. I don't know. There's one shot that's very funny. There's a couple that didn't really work. But for the most part, I thought the sharks looked really good. Oh, God. Okay. And with that said, let's watch this trailer.

Let's do it. Tell me, Mr. franklin have you ever known anyone with alzheimer's no what if you could end all that suffering with a single pill give me till monday morning 48 hours i'll give you results that'll skyrocket your stock price in the most advanced research facility in the world. Wow. Beneath its glassy surface, a world of gliding monsters. A team of specialists is working against the clock. Did someone order the fish? On an experiment to benefit mankind. Sharks never show any loss of brain activity as they age.

We're this close to the reactivation of human brain cells. But before they can save millions of lives... Tell me I didn't see that. They recognized that gun. It's impossible. Sharks do not swim backwards. They can't. They'll have to find a way to save their own. Just what the hell did you do to those sharks? Did you feel something? Jim and I used gene therapies to increase their brain mass.

What is that? As a side effect, the sharks got smarter. Somebody, please, tell me what that is. Go! Go! Deep Blue Sea dot net. This is 1999. Oh, boy. Actually, what a very fun premise, though. We made the sharks too smart.

Yes, it's so good. It's one of those, like, it's very Jurassic Park type premise. Although, they don't reveal that until a ways in. They were like, we're just experimenting over here, and then at some point, they're like, okay,

fine, fine, we were making them super smart. We made them really smart, now they're chasing us. Fine we were making them super smart we made them really smart they're chasing us yeah it's like a reveal which i thought was pretty good it was pretty effective for me um i have i have seen this movie many many times i feel like this was maybe my sixth or seventh viewing wow i really was into this movie for a while really wait at what stage of life were you watching school i think i'm i don't i don't think that i saw it in theaters because i would have been 10 i guess but humble brag definitely a little later wow it's the thing that i love about it the most is the 90s aesthetic that really comes out in so many ways. All the outfits.

Samuel L. Jackson, so young. So young. So young. I mean, I just can't wait. I just can't freaking wait. Let's freaking do it. Let's do it. Yeah, let's do it. Let's dive in.

I used to love back-to- school shopping so much that I would tell my mom that I wanted to work at Staples when I grew up because I just loved getting all the things that I needed that I would use every day in class. I still to this day have nightmares

about showing up in class without notebooks or number two pencils. Really scary stuff. But luckily I wake up and I realize I don't actually need notebooks or number two pencils anymore. But this fall there is something that I will be using every day and would be terrified to be caught without. And that's Raycon's best-selling everyday earbuds.

I feel like they have these boats on The Bachelor, which is probably why

it reminded me of that. But you know these boats that are like... They're very cool. It was in the trailer, but it's like they have netting or something you people lay on. Yeah, it's like two sides. I don't know what they're called either. Oh, is it a catamaran? That sounds right. I think it's a catamaran. Yeah, I've only seen those in The Bachelor.

It does sound like a kind of thing they would do in The Bachelor. It's like a sexy place you lay on it's a catamaran. Yeah. Yeah, I've only seen those in the Bachelor. It does sound like a kind of thing they would do in The Bachelor. It's like a sexy place you lay on it and the water's under you. Yeah, like a sexy hammock boat. Yeah, a catamaran. Yeah, it starts on a scene like that and the people are partying and they like are wearing

like kind of 90s swimsuits and they're like dancing to music. Like one girl just starts dancing. You can picture what this scene is. Perfectly. And then a shark literally rips through the bottom of the boat.

It is horrifying. It is horrifying. I mean, we knew it was coming. The movie's called Deep Blue Sea. Oh my god, I am sitting in my window and there's a man changing pants outside of my window right now. No. In the road. Outside in the street.

This is the horror movie. Oh my God. Should I record this? Oh my God, wait, what? It's cold today too. Wait, he's just taking the pants off and putting on new pants? Like, was he in a workout pant before and now he's getting into a... It looks like he put on a workout pant.

He put on a workout pant. He went outside in regular pants he put on a workout pants. He put on a workout pants. He went outside in regular pants, put on a workout pants, switched shoes and now, oh, and he just pulled tennis balls out of the back of his car. This is very interesting. Oh, he's going to play tennis. Is there a tennis court nearby? Yeah, actually there is. Okay. But not that close. Like several blocks.

Oh, but he does look like maybe no, he's driving. Why would you not just do that in your car? Okay, sorry. Do that in your car. And then, okay, the shark bursts through the bottom of this catamaran. People are freaked out, about to get eaten. And then Thomas Jane shoots them with a, what do you call that gun? It's like a spear, like some sort of harpoon. Harpoon.

Harpoon. Yeah, harpoon. Harpoon. Harpoon. Harpoon. Yeah, harpoon. Harpoon. Harpoon. And like he is a real hero moment. Like it's a very good opening because then he's like standing there and he's very sexy.

I only think of Thomas Jane from like now who is an attractive man, but he was like a- He's very hot. He's very hot. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so when he's like saving the day

and he like, he doesn't say anything. He just harpoons this thing and then like cuts. He's very hot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so, and he's like saving the day and he like, he doesn't say anything. He just sharpens this thing. And then they're like cuts. It's great. It's a really great opening. Do you have anything to add to that? Nope.

Sammy. Nope. That's great. Great. So what you find out is that that is a test shark. So, you know, you saw that in the trailer.

These are all like test sharks. Right. And it got loose somehow. And Samuel L. Jackson is really pissed about it because he owns this company that's testing on the sharks or whatever. And he's like, I'm going to shut it down or whatever. But then you find out that they're testing on them to, like, end Alzheimer's. And this very attractive woman who you also saw in the trailer is like, look, Samuel L. Jackson. I don't know his name in the movie.

Give us one more shot. Like, we got to – we're working on something really important. Come see the base or whatever. So that's the start of our movie. Right? Yep. Okay, great. So then you go and this is when you start seeing all the cool sharks.

And like what you find out is Thomas Jane, he's like a guy who like swims with sharks for fun. You're like, he's like, you know, he's a real wild card. Like he like, he like right when Samuel L. Jackson gets there, he like jumps in the water. He's like holding on to the fin or whatever. And Samuel L. Jackson is the kind of guy who wears like white pants to a shark base. And like, why would you wear this outfit? He looks like he's like someone dressed him in like, it's like a very like summer, like his Easter best.

Yeah. Yeah. he's straight up wearing his eastern best and like somewhat futuristic glasses but like we don't know why but it's great the setup is great and then so basically you get there and you get to see this whole place what was the name of the facility? Aquatica

thank you Aquatica and so it's this like floating facility where they test on sharks and you meet all the people You meet LL Cool J he has a bird You meet Michael Rappaport Who I guess is he's like a nerd Or something I don't really It's like the engineer tech guy

He seems to know a lot about the structure Of the facility It's like a floating facility My nightmare place I would never go to this place it's like under the in the ocean under the water no no well yes it's like yeah so part of it is above the water and then there's like many many layers below like it they take an elevator and goes way down like why would you build it like this we don't know but that was what the choice was for this particular facility. You can tell where things are going.

So, like, to skip forward, they, like, throw a party for, oh, that lady's name is Susan. Susan, yeah. She's, like, the main doctor kind of spearheading everything. So you can tell this is her, like, passion project. And then there's just, like, kind of a crew. It's kind of like. The old ragtag crew. Yeah.

It's like a spaceship or, like, any kind of vessel movie at all. You've got your crew. You've got a crew. It's kind of like the old ragtag crew. Yeah, it's like a spaceship or like any kind of vessel movie at all. You've got your crew. You've got your bird guy. Well, most of the crew leaves for the weekend. A lot of them take off on this boat and you have like the skeleton crew, which is like bird guy, Michael Rappaport,

another lady and like another dude. And another dude is like a really famous actor He's a Skarsgård He's like the other lead scientist His name is Jim Okay so we've got two scientists, an engineer A shark expert, is that who Tom

He's the shark wrangler He's like a criminal He used to be a criminal or something He's the wild card He's a real loose cannon. Okay, short guy. Got it. But he's hot as hell, and you really want him to get together with Susan, and you're like, why are these two not making out?

Where is the sex? No sex in this movie. Not a bit. Interesting. The closest you get is the Bachelor people. They're not really in the Bachelor. People are going to get confused. They're just hot people. Emily, you've told me before how whenever you open a bottle of wine, you feel immense pressure to drink the entire bottle that evening. I do. And that is, if you can believe it, a lot of wine for one lady to have.

And sometimes I just want to have like a glass of wine on a Tuesday. But then it's like, what am I going to drink this whole bottle or waste this good wine? It's such a problem. Yeah. It's like a choice between a horrible hangover and a waste of wine, both really bad choices. You can't win there. That's why we are so excited to have discovered usual wines. Each bottle is 6.3 ounces, a heavy pour or about a glass and a half of wine. No more pouring wine down the sink when you don't want to finish the bottle. Because of the single serve format and bottle design, Usual is always fresh. No more flat bubbly or stale rosé. The wines are low carb and have zero grams of sugar. Usual has a red blend, a rosé, and a sparkling white called Brut. They also have Usual Spritz, a low alcohol, 8.5% ABV, low-calorie wine spritzer that's made of

sparkling wine and guava juice, like White Claw for grownups. Each serving has 83 calories. We ordered a variety pack, and it came super fast, and I was very excited to try these, and they did not disappoint. Emily, what did you think? What was your favorite? Well, my first thought is the packaging is gorgeous. The bottles are so cool. I'm going to save every single one of them, turn them into vases. And I really enjoyed the red blend. I love a red blend. Such lovely, light, easy drinking, end of the day wine. That's exactly what I want when I want one glass. And I was really pleased. I really loved the sparkling white and that's exactly what I want when I want one glass. And I was really pleased. I really loved the sparkling white.

And that's like a perfect one to come in this size too. Oh yeah, because it's going to go bad if you open a bottle of sparkling. But this sparkling white was the perfect size. It was very smooth. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was delicious. So go check out their website at www.usualwines.com and use the discount code TOOSCARY for $8 off your first order.

And try your first glass on us. Usual Wines. Wines for the modern drinker. Oh, we do find out some facts that I felt like were important. So I wrote these down in this at Susan's birthday party. Sharks are the oldest creatures on the planet. I don't feel like that's true. It's not true. I looked it up. It's birthday party. Sharks are the oldest creatures on the planet. I don't feel like that's true. It's not true.

I looked it up. It's not true. But they are like 400 million. They're 400 million years old. The oldest things on the planet are just like a bacteria. It's less exciting. And like jellyfish. Oh, yeah.

In general, I mean, sharks, alligators, and turtles, they're up there for sure. But they're not the oldest. I feel like I thought alligators were maybe one of, but they're probably right up there. Also, they said sharks can't get cancer, which also is not true, but it is mostly true. OK. Right. I looked that up because I was very I was very shocked by that revelation.

And then they like start testing and stuff. Oh, OK. Here's the next like scary thing that happens They are like testing on them and Thomas Jane He's the guy who like gets in the water with the sharks And the sharks like try to attack him Underwater And you find out they're synchronized

Like the two sharks Like kind of like team up And try to attack him at the same time And am I right Sammy They turn off the lights The they turn off the lights the sharks turn off the lights somehow yeah so there's this like underwater underwater tunnel thing that thomas jane is like swimming through in his little yeah yeah it's like a little chain link i mean i'm sure it's strong it's strong metal but uh he's swimming there in his scuba gear and yeah then

the lights go off or yeah first you see the sharks come up on either side of the tunnel. So it's as if they're teaming up to hunt him. He pulls a gun on them and they both swim backwards away. And the whole crew is in the wet lab, which is that, you know, in these little science stations where they have a pool that somehow defies all i mean it's it it makes sense and something happens later that i was really happy to see because these pools always blow my fucking mind that there can be a pool we've talked about these pools underwater but they said it's because they have it um pressurized in a certain way pressurized yeah yeah um but. But it just looks like it should be impossible.

But so they're all watching from in that room. And then Samuel L. Jackson's like, did I just see that? They just recognized a gun. And the other there's like one other scientist woman. And she's like, they sharks can't swim backwards. This that doesn't make sense. This is not right. And then the lights go out and then

the cameras start going out and you see camera number three go out by a shark coming up and smashing it and so they have identified the cameras and the light switch and have basically cut the power-ish in this facility. But we see Thomas Jane still going. He leaves the little enclosure to go swim out in the open water with them. And it's all dark now. It's very scary. And then he tricks them. He tricks the sharks.

So this is a lesson to you if you're trying to survive a shark attack he puts his little like underwater jet pack whatever that scuba gear somewhere and they you see the shark and it's getting closer and closer and closer to the scuba gear and it grabs the scuba gear but thomas jane is not attached to the scuba gear anymore and he shoots it with the harpoon fake out harpoon yeah and it's some it's some sort of it is the the harpoon. Fake out. Harpoon? Yeah. It is the harpoon and it's some sort of like sleeping dart thing that the shark then falls down onto the little loading bay thing that then raises up and lifts into the wet lab. Yeah. Yeah. So what you learn there is humans are smarter than sharks. So much smarter. Which is great. Yeah. It's you learn there is humans are smarter than sharks. So much smarter.

Which is great. Yeah. It's really good news. But then they bring the shark up into this wet lab. And I kept thinking, I realize this is a podcast for humans. Stay with me here. But if this was a podcast for sharks, this would be the scariest part because they are literally opening the shark's brain up and like doing tests on it and stuff and so it was a bum it was it was hard to watch i felt i felt and what is it was it alive they just had like darted it and they cut its brain open they basically put this little thing like a clamp i don't know why I'm trying to describe.

I'm not going to know what words to use for this. They're basically putting a long metal pole into its brain. And with taking out some brain tissue or brain cell, the idea being that whatever they've done to this shark brain, they've done to this shark brain will they'll be able to use this liquid to drop onto human brain cells and repair the neurons and whatever the degenerative things that are happening with alzheimer's to be able to repair those neurons and this is their test that they have to like do to prove to samuel jackson like don't shut us down where this is working this is really incredible important work so everyone's like very hoping hoping that this is going to go well yeah and just so you know there's a lot of science we're saying but it's not complicated like you never once are like what like it kind

of like oh yeah okay i see yeah there's a machine there's like brain gook and like whatever and it works they like are like oh we're gonna be able to like get rid of alzheimer's basically right like yeah yeah it like worked it seems like it works better than anticipated um they all seem really excited still samuel jackson's excited everyone's excited everyone's pumped still in scars guard like no longer no longer worried about the freakish smarts that the shark seemed to have exhibited. So the shark is asleep. Right. And selling.

Yeah. Stone's scars guard is like lights of a cigarette. He's stoked. And then the shark suddenly wakes up and bites off his arm. Jesus. We in the wet lab. Wait. So the shark whose brain is like exposed to the...

They just like stuck a metal rod into its brain so they didn't like fully cut open its head, but it's just been poked in the brain. And yeah, Stone's car is scared. Kneels down, pats it on the head, says, we did it, buddy. Which is a bad idea.

It just goes for him. Rips his arm right off. It's very bloody. Now this was, I would say, the scariest part of the movie for me for some reason. I don't know why this was so scary, but so I may have missed some parts, but they basically have to airlift him

because his arm is gone. He's bleeding out on this middle, on Aquatica. On Aquatica. We don't know where this is. You have to get to take a helicopter to get there. And it is storming outside. So this helicopter flies in and it's like trying to

airlift him out of Aquatica. And he's like on oxygen and he's like bleeding out. And this is the scariest part because this is like no shark and you know you're not worried about the sharks this moment you're just like worried about man versus nature you know what i mean and so they're trying to like airlift him up through the storm and it's

like super scary and they do get him up in the air but then no no the storm is really crazy and they drop him into the shark tank. That's really funny. That's actually really ridiculous. And not only do they drop him back down into the water, but he's still attached to the helicopter, like on the, on the like corridor or whatever. And so, so not only does the shark grab him, it also pulls the helicopter down and it crashes into the base. And that's how everything starts setting on fire.

And that's how the water all starts getting into the base that you saw in. It's wild explosions. What a crazy sequence of events. It's crazy. And it really is all his fault, honestly. So part of me is like, well, maybe don't be so close to that shark. But he has the most horrific death that I've

ever seen oh and let's just go right back to the sharks if you were a shark watching this this would be your champion this is your moment this is when you're like oh thank god this movie is going to end well

this is your Tom Jane with the harpoon this movie's gonna end well this is your time jane with the harpoon yeah yeah yeah even though it's like we're only halfway through the shark for the shark this is your if you're a shark listener turn it off now turn it off this is the end of your movie because the shark does this horrifying thing where it like has him in his selling scars guard in his mouth and it is and he's still like on this, you know, one of those stretchers. Like, and he's underwater, so he's drowning.

And the shark is just like running around with him in his mouth and they're still in the wet lab and there's this giant window and the shark just slams Stellan Skarsgård into the giant window and Stellan Skarsgård's like, ooh, and like he's bleeding out and he's drowning. And that's

when the glass all breaks and all the water comes into the room that they're in. So he's dead. He's dead at that point. Not only do they just watch their friend die horrifically. Yeah. They're also about to drown. Oh my God. It's bad. It's bad. Wait, so the helicopter crashes and then

the rest of aquatica starts like blowing up too everything starts to explode there's so many oxygen tanks places there was uh at least three gasoline tanks something was happening. Yeah, shit exploded. It was, yeah, really intense. So now they're flooded. And then so there's a lot of stuff that happens in here where basically LL Cool J is separated from them.

And it's like the water starts coming in. It's a real Titanic situation. And it was filmed on the same place that Titanic was. They got the same. Makes sense. I guess it's not called a lot because it's water.

Because water. Words are so hard. A tank. That's right. Thank you. Yeah, a tank. A tank. It feels like that too.

Yeah. So it starts flooding where he is and he's trying to find this stupid bird. And at the same time, all the sharks are like, we're going in. Like, this is like shark rounding each other up. You know, we already know they're working together. So they're going into Aquatica in the hallways. They're coming inside. This is how they can get inside.

But LL Cojay is looking for his bird. Looking for the stupid bird. That's a priority right now for LL Cojay. He like loves it and hates it at the same time. But he loves it. This is reminding me of the Abyss too. And there's the one member of the crew who loves his rat. Who loves his rat.

Yeah. You gotta have a pet when you're on a underwater. I understand going for your rat more than a bird for whatever reason. I'm like, well, that makes sense. It's a rat. But this bird is a parrot, Emily'm like, well, that makes sense. It's a rat. But this bird is a parrot, Emily. Does that change things for you? Not at all. No love

for birds here on this podcast. But it says things to him like, you have a fat butt. Cute. Well, I think it's weird to own a bird, but way weirder to bring it under the ocean. A bird you would think would be able to escape easier than a rat would, also, in this situation. Except that, like,

they're way underwater, and, like, water is coming from everywhere. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. But you're right. You are right that, in theory, if he got it out, he could fly, the bird could fly away. But in trying to find the bird, he ends up kind of back in the kitchen, and he, and,

but there's sharks around. So I've skipped forward to this. Is there anything else I should say in between, Sammy? No, it's just, it's a long sequence of stressful water bursting through various corridors and them kind of trying to close the corridors and sealing themselves off. But it's not looking good. Everyone's kind of trapped.

And yeah, LL Cool J's on a separate floor than them. and sealing themselves off, but it's not looking good. Everyone's kind of trapped. And yeah, LL Cool J's on a separate floor than them. And yeah, then he gets... Because this is just like ocean water crashing through. So yeah, I mean, there's an infinite amount of it. Yeah, how could you... How could you? They got to get out.

They got to get up. They got to get back up because they're too far down. So he is like... This is a scary moment because he goes like back to the kitchen. And he hides inside an oven because there's a shark after him. And he's like in this oven.

But somehow the oven gets turned on. So not only. I feel like the shark turns it on. It might turn it on. It might turn it on. It's like banging into. It's like trying to break into it to get it. And it hits it.

Slamming into the oven to eat him. To try to get him. These it hits it. Slamming into the oven to eat him, to try to get him. These sharks are like after the people. And the room is like filling with gas because the oven is on. And like he's trying to get out. And El Cudre, to his credit, like is able to like climb up through like the top of the oven somehow into like another oven. He has an ax and he like, he, he breaks through to the, to the top oven and then waits till the shark kind of crashes into the bottom oven and has his face kind of caught in it and jumps behind him,

jumps over him to the other side of the kitchen. And then, oh, wait, one important thing that does happen right before is that when the shark comes into the kitchen, he has found his bird. And it is balanced on a little bucket in the water. It's like waist-high water, which is just the fucking, I hate, it's so scary.

I'm just like, you're kind of walking are flow debris's floating and you can't see what's below the water it's but anyway so he's like trying to climb up on this little um shelving thing in the kitchen sees the bird bounced on a bucket and reaches towards it reach come here bird come here and of course right as he's reaching out the shark jumps jumps up, eats the bird. So then after he jumps over the shark after the oven incident, he says, you killed my bird. And he throws a Zippo lighter at it. And because of the gas leak, the shark is incinerated. It explodes kind of.

So one shark down. There are three genetically modified sharks total right so now you have two two left is that right there's three there's three yeah there's other there's other sharks at the facility but they are not the test sharks they are too smart smart yeah they're not the smart ones they're just um they're not the ones with the taste for human blood yeah they're regular regular sharks that you also don't want to be swimming with but they're they're used to be fed to the other sharks because the other sharks won't eat anything sharks i don't well i think some probably do but

they're being fed tiger sharks and i don't think any sharks eat tiger sharks. Tiger sharks are mean. These sharks are meaner. Yeah. Yeah. Fair. They're these sharks have, they want revenge. They have the ability to want revenge. Yeah.

They're emotional. I was on team shark for a minute. Cause I was like, they're like testing on them. Like this is kind of, it's screwed up situation until, until the bird moment. And then I was like,

I'm not here for you. I'm not here with you. No, no, no. Yeah. Yeah. That was rude. So up next is the scene that I feel like, I'm not here for you. I'm not here with you. No, no, no. Yeah. Yeah, that was rude. So up next is the scene that I feel like the movie is known for.

Yep. So if y'all ever want to pretend you've seen the movie. Yeah, just reference this scene. Just be like that Samuel L. Jackson scene. Oh, Deep Blue Sea, this part. Samuel L. Jackson scene. Yeah. Yeah.

So basically, Samuel L. Jackson, before this movie, was in some sort of avalanche. And he survived by doing like horrific things that he never told anyone. And it turns out it was like they all all the people started hating each other and a human turned on human. And basically they killed each other to survive this avalanche. And and they're like trying to figure out how they're going to survive this situation. And he starts giving this speech, and it's, like, super moving. And he's like, I would never do that again. And he's, like, mid-speech, and everyone's like, okay, we're behind you.

Like, good job, like, guy who survived an avalanche. And he's talking, and then all of a sudden, from that pool, a shark jumps up and eats him. No. In the middle of his, like, it's like the speech from Independence Day. It's like the, like, it is an intense, great speech. And the shark literally, it's not great CGI, but the scene is very effective. And it's scary. It's not funny because it sounds funny.

I mean, no. It's funny, but it's shocking. It's not funny because it sounds funny. I mean, no, it's funny, but it's shocking. It's just like it's a jump. It just happens so suddenly. And it does the thing where it's like really building it. And we're zooming into Sam and Jackson. We're like, yeah, we can do this. We just got to stick together. And then he just gets taken out, like completely taken out. The the like pool thing just completely fills with blood. They're all so stunned. Nobody even really reacts.

I feel like they all just kind of stare wide-eyed like, what the fuck? It just jumped out of the water and ate him on land. Oh, that's awful. Oh, my God. It's great, though. But yeah, that is the famous scene. So that's awful. Oh, my God. It's great, though. But yeah, that is the famous scene. So that's okay. Now we know.

It's surprising. It's very surprising. It's very well done. Yeah. So then a bunch of stuff happens like, oh, this is the depressor pressure moment. Yeah. Do you want to explain that? Yeah.

So basically, basically, at some point, they decided because all of the stairways are filled with water, that the only way out is down and that they have to go through this pool to swim out. Well, they're supposed to take this little submarine thing out, but the submarine is broken, smashed from all the explosions, or maybe the shark jumped out and smashed it. Who knows? It could could be. We just saw him hurt. I think they're all female sharks anyways um and so but michael rapaport is like

fuck no i'm not fucking doing that after the shark comes up and eats samuel jackson out of this hole they're like we're not going in there we're not swimming but they they change into what they had changed into wetsuits like that was the plan. They're abandoning this plan. He's like, there's an elevator shaft right here that we can open and climb up, but it will depressurize the room. And the main doctor, Susan, is very against it. No, that's going to bring the whole station down. This is my life's work. This is my research. No, that's going to bring the whole station down. This is my life's work. This is my research. And I think they eventually just kind of overrule her. They're like, we're fucking doing it.

And you're not my boss. We quit. We don't care. And so they open it and the water shoots out of the pool like a geyser. So much water. And this is what I just love to see. So I was like, thank you, because that is what it seems like. What happened? What happened? Yeah.

Yeah, really. The laws of physics really being respected in this film. And so, yeah, they get into this elevator shaft, which is the elevators at the top and it has exploded up there. So the top is all like filled with fire and there's little sparks flying down at them. But they just have to climb up this little ladder to get to the first floor and then they can take the stairway from there to get up to the top. But because they've depressurized that bottom room, it's filling up with water from the bottom. And the sharks burst the little... They at one point do close a little latch door, and the sharks just bust it down. And so they're climbing up this elevator shaft on a little ladder, and water is filling up

the elevator shaft below them it's all very stressful and uh as they're so sharks are getting in the elevator yeah so it's like you can see them kind of swirling around in the bottom they're big dark like shadows in the water and uh thomas jane says if i can open the second floor door that'll some of the water will go in there so it'll slow down how quickly the elevator shaft fills up smart um and so he climbs down and does that and has a real close run in with the shark um but he makes it and then as he jumps back onto the ladder they're all climbing up the ladder falls backwards and basically is the perfect length of the width of the elevator shaft and so it stops like now it's like a bridge above the water basically but in the

force of it falling one of them falls off the other female scientist i can't remember her name doesn't matter she's not gonna be around but she falls in thomas jane kind of hangs uh upside down to try to reach for her she She's trying to jump up. It's a little too far. She can't reach it. And she goes under. And then she's brought up with a lot of force because she is in the jaws of the shark and screaming. And they don't get her.

They don't get her. They don't get her. She's taken back down and again the water just fills with blood and they are all kind of, they're again in shock and now because the ladder has fallen they can't climb up to the first floor

and they can't reach the second floor either so they're just like, well we're fucked and then they hear a banging on the second floor either um so they're just like well we're fucked and then they hear a banging on the second floor door and we're like is it another fucking shark because they just like have been doing that just busting doors down we're gonna get one coming from above now but it's ll cool jay jay yeah um yeah i just have to say the sharks are really like they're really scary and that they like to show off the humans they're eating like they like to jump in the air and like show them off like yeah like it's like a sea world situation but with like the death of the yeah

yeah look at me look at me, look at me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I kind of turned away for a little bit, I feel like, so I don't really know what happened for a ways, because the next thing I have written down is that Susan is in her underwear, and I can't remember why, and I don't know why. This is so funny. So they make it to the second floor, and I can't totally remember either, but basically Michael Rappaport, they kind of, they kind of split up. Michael Rappaport and Thomas Jane he's the engineer we didn't mention it before

now I guess but anyway so they go down to do to do that and then while they're gone Susan and LL Cool J are sitting in a in a room and Susan is like I've got to go get my my research from from my room. And yeah, this is actually, I think, was the scene I was most scared of when I first saw this movie was Susan going into her room. Again, we got that waist-high water and her just kind of strutting into this room. And we see a fin silently emerging from the water,

coming towards her as she's going towards her locker. She's getting her floppy disks. You've got to get the floppy disks. Yeah, it's important stuff. So we see this fin coming towards her, and it pops up, and it's a model shark that they were doing their little tests on before and so she's like fuf big old fuf pushes it back in goes back to getting her floppy disks and then we see another fin coming up and she turns and looks at it is it

the same model shark again she realizes it's not she uh it lunges at her lunges what does the shark do i guess lunging seems like something you do when you have legs yeah hurls itself it goes it goes for her and it's scary for her and she runs like through trudges through the water and there's all this furniture kind of floating around she gets on a table that's like half submerged so her like ankles are still in the water oh i just hate this shit it's like oh you're so stressed and then yes eventually she gets to this little um ledge and she climbs out the shark's still coming for her and she sees this little electric panel thing, like a little wire, a big wire. And she of course has to take off her wetsuit to grab this wire.

And I think it might make sense. Cause it's like, it's, so she doesn't get electrocuted. So it's like absorbing the, but it's just like, she's wearing like this hot, like white little bathing suit or underwear i don't know what it is but it's just like a very funny way to have to like get in your underwear i guess i gotta get naked now it makes sense in the movie it's scientific it's it's foolproof it's don't ask any questions this is sound logic and uh she she sticks the live wire thing in the shark's mouth electrocutes it but also it burns her floppy disks somehow oh no her research her precious research

and uh so now two sharks down and one, just one left. Yeah. And then basically I have now they're like at the top. They like get back to the top. They have to like do. Yeah. Like the outside. They eventually realized they have to swim.

They're going to have to swim out. There's no way other out. So they have to go down to go up. They do it. They make it to the top. But it gets LL Cool J. It's like got him in its mouth. It gets him in his mouth.

But we didn't tell you he's a big Christian. And he's always praying. He has this cross. And he uses that cross. And he pokes it right in the eye of the shark. And this is when we realize that he is the hero of the movie. Oh, okay. Okay. You thought it was somebody else?

No. No, it's LL Cool J. And also, God. Yeah, there is really this like God and science thing of their play. The scientists are playing God and LL Cool J is like, no, no, no. You gotta say your prayer and carry your cross necklace.

And that's the only way to survive this shark attack. It's a Christian film. Yeah. So it turns out like the sharks are all hurting them to get them to open the gate. Is that kind of what they're like? It says that they're trying to sink the station so that they can swim out because the fences will go down also and then they'll be free. And so they don't care about really killing it. I mean, they did seem to like killing the people.

They definitely liked it. Yeah. But their main objective is just to be out in the ocean and free. But they can't let that happen. Yeah. Yeah. Susan's like, we got to kill him. She, yeah.

She's like, we got to kill these sharks. And then she's like, I'm going to use myself for bait. Susan says, which is such a wild idea. And it does not work. The shark eats Susan. Okay. The sunnitest. Okay. It eats her. She dies. She. The scientist. Okay.

It eats her. She dies. She dies. I'm shocked. Okay. And then Thomas Jane jumps in the water to try to save her

because don't remember don't forget that they wanted to have sex with each other. He's like no. She's so hot. He tries to save her and then in the opening

you know he did this shit where he was like holding on to the shark fin and he's like so cool and hip. And he tries to do that same shit. And this hero music starts playing. And you're like, oh, this is all going to work out. And LL Cool J, like, gets up on some kind of rock or something.

I don't know where he is. And he shoots the thing, the shark, while Thomas Jane's holding on to it. But he accidentally shoots Thomas Jane, too. Oh, no. With his harpoon. So now it's like Thomas Jane is like attached to the shark. Yeah. Kind of.

Yeah. But the problem is like just like earlier where the helicopter was like attached to the guy in the water. Now LL Cool J is kind of the javelin harpoon thing is attached to like this gun so top so LL Cool J has to do something and he blows up the shark by attaching it to a battery and I didn't totally understand the logic they like filled the harpoon with gunpowder or something and so it just needed to touch this little battery and Thomas Jane's like yelling do it do it but he's attached to it so ll cool j is like trying to hold off because he wants uh thomas jane to be able to

break free and the shark goes under so ll cool j can't see what's happening and he just does it and the shark explodes so big it's like as if it was a hundred sticks of dynamite and i think it was only i think it was only gunpowder from two flares if I heard correctly, but it's as if it's the most gunpowder in the world. Yeah. And it's like watermelon pieces are falling from the sky. The shark is in a million pieces of like gross melon. It's,

it is wild. Um, and then LL Cool J is like, he has a lot of regret on his face and he's like, I blew up my friend. And he like feels really bad. And you see how bad he feels. But then Thomas Jane is alive.

He surfaces. He surfaces. He's a wild card. He just comes back. Comes back. And then right at that very moment, all the help shows up to help them. If they just waited a few minutes and she did not throw herself into the water. I'll go in the water.

She would have survived because help shows up at that exact moment. And then this song called Deepest Blue by LL Cool J plays, which he wrote for the movie. I highlighted a few of my favorite lyrics from the song. Please. Oh, God.

Because the song is so funny. The lyrics start as, Deep as bluest, my head is like a shark's fin, which is an interesting lyric. I had a song stuck in my head all day long, but I'll read you some of my favorite lyrics. I cause you to sink down 40,000 leagues, bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves.

My world's deep blue. Killers gotta eat too. Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through. Other fish in the sea, but barracudas ain't equal to a half-human predator created by a needle. Jet black eyes, baby. They stare while you sleep. When your Titanic sinks, I'm the one you're gonna meet. Nightmares of darkness.

My appetite is heartless. Even if we related, you eliminated regardless. Wow. So this song is from the perspective of the shark. The shark is singing this song. I think it's crazier than that. I think it's half LL Cool J. Because there are some lyrics that allude to it being LL Cool J is the shark.

And he wears shark contact lenses in the video. Wow. So LL Cool J has become a shark. He is a shark. It's definitely partial shark perspective. Oh my god. So this line also. Killer for centuries. The gaudy of the deep. Gaudy.

So is this song playing while the credits roll? Is that how it works? Yeah and the song is long. It's like five minutes. I think he had a lot of thoughts. Yeah, it's a long, I mean. Wow. But it's great. Wow.

Everybody go listen to it. This was that era where there were like a lot of rap songs that went with written for movies. Oh, yeah. Like Adam's Family and like Show Me The. It's great. Oh, yeah. It's great. It's really in my head.

Oh, my God. Thanks, Joliva. It's great. Oh, yeah. It's great. It's really in my head. Oh, my God. Well, Bria, thank you so much for picking this movie because I knew nothing about it beforehand. And now I can speak like an expert on it if anyone ever asks.

It's coming up in a lot of conversations. People are always asking. People are always asking. They really want to know about Deep Blue Sea. Can you sing that song by LL Cool J? Oh, the one from Deep Blue Sea? Yeah, definitely. Deepest Bluest

parentheses Shark Fin. You mean Deepest Bluest? Deepest Bluest Shark Fin? You're welcome. I'm glad. I mean, like, here's the thing.

I think as long as you, you can pretend you saw this movie as long as you can recount that Samuel L. Jackson scene. I agree. That's really what I mean.

That's key. I agree. It's key. So have you watched two or three, number two or three yet? No, but I'd be down if you want to, Sammy. I agree. That's really what I mean. That's key. I agree. It's key. So have you watched two or three, number two or three yet? No, but I'd be down if you want to, Sammy. I'm with you all the way. I'm interested. Apparently three's great. I have seen

Lake Placid is also a trilogy. I have seen Lake Placid. I'm not as scared of alligators. Two and three are not very good. I don't think one is very very good i feel like it is i don't remember like placid yeah i don't remember it either um i watched it recently i don't think it's very good okay all right all right i'll take your word for it all right do we have any final

thoughts on the film yeah i don't i mean i feel just riveted by the whole thing. And Emily, are you feeling scared of sharks? Are you feeling not scared of sharks? I'm never not. I'm never not going to be scared of sharks. But I I made I made it through this one just fine. Yeah, you really did. I do think something like being in the middle of the like, like I'm picturing like feet dangling below the ocean surface. of the like like I'm picturing like feet dangling

below the ocean surface that stuff is that's a scarier way to be with sharks this did feel like almost Jurassic Park like in that yes horrifying and sharks but more like almost like adventure-y type movie

than this is also like one that you can kind of rationalize like I'm not going to be in this situation of being At this point in the middle of the ocean I would never do that Yeah I'm never going to do that I'm never ever going to do that Whereas Jaws is just like on the beach where

Everybody is Right right You're never headed to Aquatica I'm not going to go to Aquatica It doesn't exist anymore But you know I don't have to worry about it okay well we usually say goodbye with an accent i don't really i mean she does have an accent but i feel like my british accent is just

i don't know what's happened to it it's it's terrible so i feel like i might play us out i might edit in deepest blue deepest blue yeah edit I might edit in Deepest Blue. Deepest Blue! Edit in that. Edit in that. Let us go out with a bang for sure. Yeah. We could say goodbye and then you could do Deepest Blue over our

end credits, so to speak. That's right. That's right. Well, from all of us here at too scared and watch goodbye here's LL Cool J Deep as blue as my hat is like a shark's fin Man-made terror, hungry jaws of death All got across my depths, I'll pause to breath

I'll out-a-court you, you'll sink down 40,000 leagues Bleeding to death with no arms or short sleeves My world's deep blue, killers gotta eat too Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through Uncle Fish and the Sea of Barracudas are equal Outro Music Hi, everybody.
