Welcome aboard, Loyal Listeners! This is Fin Flicks, a podcast about the horrors of the deep.

This summer marks the arrival of two new aquatic horror movies in cinemas, and Fin Flicks will be reviewing them! Also, we reveal our first details on season two of the show!

We made it! It’s the finale of our first 10-episode season. And yes, Fin Flicks will return for a second season sometime in the future. But in the meantime, here’s our episode on 1999’s Deep Blue Sea! Not everyone thinks of Deep Blue Sea as fondly as we do. So we wondered: what do you have to say about it? Find out in today’s episode when the listeners speak up!

SyFy wasn't trying to launch a franchise when they made SHARKNADO. But six movies later, it's clear that this cult hit had an impact we can't overlook. But is SHARKNADO just an insincere piece of fluff with no redeeming qualities? Have new shark movies jumped the shark? Find out on this penultimate episode of Fin Flicks Season One!

When India’s Hindi-language movie industry finally decided to make their own version of Jaws, they decided to call it Aatank. That translates to “terror” or “panic” in Hindstani. But before Aatank completed principal photography, the studio shut the production down. The abandoned footage sat around on shelves for about a decade before another studio bought it, and decided to complete the film and release it in 1996. Aatank is available from Shemaroo Movies’ official YouTube channel! Watch it and then listen to Fin Flicks below!

After publishing a few lackluster novels in the '80s, JAWS author Peter Benchley came back to aquatic horror in 1991. For many readers, BEAST felt like a return to form for Benchley. His story of a killer giant squid became a bestseller. And by 1996, the long tentacles of Benchley's BEAST had stretched all the way to network television. Today, NBC's THE BEAST is largely forgotten. But is this three-hour network television event worth another look? Listen to find out!

In this chat with film critic Jeremy Smith, we talk about rediscovering the maligned ORCA. We'll be back next month with a full episode!

We’re having a whale of a time (hardy har) with Dino De Laurentiis’ Orca. Richard Harris, Charlotte Rampling, Will Sampson and Bo Derek star as the residents of a Newfoundland fishing town. When fisherman Nolan (Harris) kills a pregnant female Orca, her mate wreaks havoc on him and the town. Initially dismissed as a shameless Jaws knock-off, does this 1977 Fin Flick still warrant its poor reputation? Listen to our answer below!

Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers) stars in Nu Image's Shark Attack, where he must uncover why a swarm of enraged sharks has infested the waters of Port Amanzi. Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) co-stars as an evil dandy with a dubious accent. This 1999 DTV movie launched a franchise that formed the contemporary model for DTV creature features.

OPEN WATER has the distinction of being the first (and maybe only) Fin Flick that feels like it could happen to you. Filmmakers Chris Kentis and Laura Lau based this low-budget indie on a terrifying true story. It won them some critical acclaim and box office success fifteen years ago, but does OPEN WATER hold up?

After over 15 years in the deepest trenches of development hell, THE MEG has risen to the surface. Will it sink or swim? Let's find out on today's episode of Fin Flicks. To hear our interview with MEG author Steve Alten, please visit https://genrevision.com/posts/interview-meg-steve-alten.

Bestselling author of the Meg novels Steve Alten joins Travis to talk The Meg and the origins of his bestselling Meg novels.

Here's how and when we'll cover THE MEG, the new fin flick starring Jason Statham!

Welcome aboard, Loyal listeners! This is Fin Flicks, a podcast about the horrors of the deep. Today, we're talking about The Last Shark (L'ultimo Squalo), a 1981 Italian flick that saw a brief US release in 1982. The US cut of the film was called Great White, and Universal got it yanked out of theaters on the basis of plagiarism. Joining us for a segment on today's episode is film critic Jeremy Smith (@MrBeaks), who is writing a memoir called When It Was Cool. Many thanks to Jeremy for appearing on the show. To hear our extended interview with him, become a Premium Subscriber on Patreon!
