Jay and Mark are joined by Zoë Rose Smith (@ZoboWithShotgun on X) to discuss the 2025 shark thriller Dangerous Animals. Directed by Sean Byrne (watch The Devil's Candy and The Loved Ones ASAP), and starring Jai Courtney, Hassie Harrison, Josh Heuston, and dozens of bread rolls, the movie focuses on a serial killer who feeds his victims to sharks. In this episode, they also talk about dancing serial killers, shark shadows, and films that drag you into the gutter.
Shark flicks have become a dime a dozen lately, thanks to stock footage and CGI. But a shark flick where the fish are less dangerous than the human antagonist? Now that's unique! Tune in to hear us break down “Dangerous Animals” — from the standout performances of Jai Courtney and Hassie Harrison, to how this film epitomized the term “cat & mouse thriller,” and that one scene that had us squirming in our seats.

A visually insane movie with impressive sets and costume designs, an Oscar-winning cinematographer, and great dinosaur/creature FX that slightly predate Jurassic Park! All that and more in this endearingly uneven, cyberpunk-influenced adaptation that would have an even bigger cult following if it weren't for the shame of the creatives involved!In addition, K-Tron shares her spoiler-free thoughts on the horror comedy Slotherhouse, while Alex does the same for Bring Her Back, the John Wick spinoff Ballerina, the Shark serial killer thriller Dangerous Animals, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (with some additional thoughts from Tim)!You can find Death Don't Do Fiction on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Dangerous Animals mostly sticks to the usual formula, but a few unexpected choices—and a genuinely strong performance from Jai Courtney—lift it above the pack. He finally gets to act, and it shows. We break down where it works, where it doesn't, and why it's worth a second look. Watch the full review now.

Oh, and they talk about actors who might be able to reprise their iconic animation roles in live-action, while James hits Helen and Chris with a question that shakes them to their very foundations. Oh, and Chris also has lovely chats with Dangerous Animals star Jai Courtney, [25:17 - 40:27 approx] and Ballerina star/all-round legend, Ian McShane, [1:00:03 - 1:14:56 approx] while Harry Stainer makes his pod debut as he talks to How To Train Your Dragon (both animation and live-action) director, Dean DeBlois.

Welcome to The Following Films Podcast. I'm your host, Chris Maynard, and today I'm joined by acclaimed horror filmmaker Sean Byrne — the visionary behind The Loved Ones and The Devil's Candy.Sean is back with his most intense and ambitious film yet: Dangerous Animals — a razor-sharp fusion of shark thriller and serial killer horror, set against the vast, unforgiving waters of the Australian coast. With a bold script from screenwriter Nick Lepard, and haunting performances by Hassie Harrison and Jai Courtney, this is a film that doesn't just scare — it lingers.Shot on location, loaded with tension, and layered with unexpected emotional depth, Dangerous Animals is a high-concept genre film that asks: What if the real monster isn't in the water, but standing right beside you?Dangerous Animals opens exclusively in theaters tomorrow — June 6, 2025. You'll want to see this one on the biggest screen possible, surrounded by people gripping their seats just as hard as you are.In today's episode, Sean and I dive into the making of the film, the creative evolution of its characters, and what it means to make horror with heart — and teeth.Let's get into it.
"Dangerous Animals" had its world premiere in the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its brutal shark kills, handling of genre tone, and Jai Courtney's unhinged performance as the serial killer who feeds his victims to sharks and films them in the process. Courtney was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his experience making the film, which you can listen to below! Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Independent Film Company. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

On this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by Jai Courtney, the star of the new shark thriller "Dangerous Animals"—a tense and darkly fun survival tale about people who become trapped at sea and hunted by a relentless predator. The Sean Byrne film also stars Hassie Harrison, Josh Heuston, Ella Newton, and more. Courtney has tackled a wide range of roles throughout his career—heroes, villains, and wildcards—in everything from "Suicide Squad" to "The Terminal List" to "Divergent" and beyond. But in "Dangerous Animals," he fully embraces his character's layered chaos, playing a grizzled, morally complicated serial killer named Tucker with an energy that's both menacing and magnetic—like a great white circling his prey with a big shark-toothed smirk.READ MORE: ‘Bring Her Back': Michael & Danny Philippou Discuss Their Horror Evolution, Crying With Sally Hawkins, ‘Street Fighter,' & ‘Talk 2 Me' [The Discourse Podcast]
Mike Flanagan is one of the best horror directors out there. This week we have a lot to say about him - and not all of it is good. We talk about the upcoming Carrie series and what it means for his Exorcist movie. We also talk about how we do not care about the upcoming The Life of Chuck. We are interested to see what Blumhouse wants to do with the Saw franchise though.It has been a while since we have covered a horror movie out of Mexico. Yeah, we do not want to have anything to do with pandemic movies. And zombie flicks are not our favorite movies. And the two hour runtime for Parvulos had us both worried. Thankfully, it not only proved our fears wrong; it may well be one of the best films we have covered this year.There are a lot of familiar tropes here, but it weaves them all together with strong writing and great characters. It hits all of the emotional beats it aims for, has some good gore, and is even able to overcome a gratuitous dog violence moment. This is a must watch for any fan of horror or strong storytelling.Dangerous Animals is also successful, though it does things completely differently. It is over the top, ridiculous, and terrifying. A sharksploitation serial killer movie sounds like it would be played for laughs, but this movie is dead serious - and better for it. One of the most exciting horror movies we have covered in a long time. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Join us this week as we invite actor Jai Courtney (Suicide Squad) and director & writer Sean Bryne (The Loved Ones) onto The Filmmakers Podcast to chat about their latest feature film Dangerous Animals which is out in cinemas on the 6th June! Giles Alderson sits and has a great natter with Jai Courtney about acting on the sea, why he takes parts, filming in Australia, what he looks for in a director and shooting Dangerous Animals. Then he talks to director Sean Bryne about genre filmmaking, action, stunts. How he made his debut The Loved Ones. Issues on set and overcoming obstacles as an indie filmmaker and the importance of prep and storyboarding. Jai Courtney's breakthrough came with the role of Varro in the Starz historical drama series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" and he quickly followed that up with roles in Tom Cruise's "Jack Reacher" and Jack McClane Jr., in "A Good Day to Die Hard" with Bruce Willis. He played Eric Coulter in the "Divergent" film series (2014-2016) and portrayed Kyle Reese in "Terminator Genisys" (2015), and in Stuart Gatt's Catching Dust. One of his most recognizable roles came in 2016 when he joined the DC Extended Universe as Captain Boomerang in David Ayer's "Suicide Squad," a role he reprised with critical acclaim in James Gunn's "The Suicide Squad" (2021). Sean Byrne first gained international acclaim with his 2009 debut feature, "The Loved Ones." The darkly comedic horror film captivated audiences and critics alike, winning the People's Choice Award in the Midnight Madness category at the Toronto International Film Festival. He followed up with "The Devil's Candy" in 2015, a heavy metal-infused horror film. DANGEROUS ANIMALS is in CINEMAS on the 6th JUNE!

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this month, Zach and Chris kick off another year of Everything Action Commentaries with I, Frankenstein.Aaron Eckhart stars as Frankenstein's Monster aka Adam Frankenstein, who, following the events of the Mary Shelley novel, becomes embroiled in the eternal war of gargoyles and demons. 200 years after his creation, Adam takes it upon himself to hunt down and destroy demons but his methods put him at odds with the gargoyles, led by their queen Leonore (Miranda Otto). A plot by the demon prince Naberius (Bill Nighy) to use Frankenstein's resurrection science to unleash an army of undead demons threatens both gargoyle and humankind.While watching the movie, Zach and Chris talk about how the opening is shockingly accurate to the Frankenstein novel, the similarities to Underworld (which makes sense as Kevin Grevioux helped create both), Adam's training regime, the overly conspicuous gargoyle and demon deaths, tracking resurrection as a percentage and more.You can watch I, Frankenstein on Max and watch along with the Everything Action crew.We want to hear your comments and feedback.

This week on the podcast we chat with writer and director Stuart Gatt about his debut feature film, the festival darling Catching Dust. Stuart sits down with fellow filmmaker Giles Alderson and discusses making the leap from shorts to feature, how he felt making Catching Dust and what he learnt along the way. They also discuss: Why making a short film a calling card is vital . Why he wants to make movies in and set in the US. His screenwriting process and using flow charts. Pitching to investors. Why he feels likes he's made films in a vacuum with no help from anyone before Catching Dust. Why you should know your material. Talking to the cast and crating connections Directing tips and tricks that are the core of the scene. Directing process - what did he do? Being challenged by your DP in a good way. Catching Dust Directed and Written by: Stuart Gatt Produced by: Mark David, Jon Katz, Stuart Gatt and Edward R. Pressman Starring: Erin Moriarty, Jai Courtney, Dina Shihabi and Ryan Corr Geena (Erin Moriarty) and her violent criminal husband Clyde (Jai Courtney) hide out in an abandoned commune in the Texas desert, hunted by the law and his former gang members looking to settle old scores. Geena is desperate for interaction with the outside world and exhausted by Clyde's controlling ways. She decides to leave, but a trailer suddenly arrives carrying Amaya (Dina Shihabi) and Andy (Ryan Corr), a vacationing couple from New York City seeking to save their troubled marriage. Ignoring the risks their presence will bring, Geena convinces Clyde to let them stay, a decision with dangerous consequences for them all. Writer, director Stuart Gatt is an award-winning British filmmaker of mixed Asian heritage whose stories are often influenced by topical social themes. His short film, My Beautiful White Skin, tackled skin lightening amongst the British Asian diaspora and starred Red Notice's Ritu Arya. His penultimate film The Dead Sea, starred BAFTA-nominated Sope Dirisu and focused on the plight of Libyan refugees' perilous journey into Europe. Catching Dust is Stuart Gatt's feature debut, based on his original script and had its World Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year.

Corner Booth at Rex's This week's Corner Booth at Rex's episode is on The Creator. This was a movie that took us by surprise in the middle of the year and it became one of the movies we slotted for this discussion once we saw the trailer. Gareth Edwards describes this movie as, “A mix of Blade Runner and Apocalypse Now.” Troy takes us on an unexpected detour into a discussion of Jai Courtney's mid-career Hollywood “it” guy. We stay spoiler free until the 25 minute mark. We saw that a lot of people read into the Vietnam slant of the movie and that is because Gareth Edwards actually said he wanted to make a movie about the Vietnam war so…ignore us trying to dismiss it.
