**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS** Well, summer might be over, but on the Film is Lit podcast, Shark Movie Season lasts ALL YEAR 'ROUND, BABY! On today's episode, we discuss one of the dumbest books we've ever read, the Jaws ripoff novel "Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror" by Steve Alten. This book spawned the equally-dumb and infinitely boring 2018 action blockbuster, "The Meg," starring Jason Statham. In our deep dive conversation, we discuss why "Jaws" works and this doesn't, the film's retroactive connection to the Titan submersible, and how Jason Statham could get nominated for an Oscar if he only applied himself. So strap in and lookout for fins in the water, because if you're not careful, you could end up as FISH FOOD! #TheMeg #JasonStatham #CarcharodonMegalodon #RubyRose #SteveAlten #LiBingbing #JonTurteltaub #MegBook #Jaws #RainnWilson #PageKennedy #MasiOka #CliffCurtis #SharkMovie #SharkBook #SharkWeek #FilmisLit #FilmisLitPodcast #FilmiLitPod #movieadaptation #moviereviewpodcast #bookreviewpodcast #bookworm #cinephile #LauraSielingGaylord #DannyGaylord #Meg2TheTrench #LockStockandTwoSmokingBarrels

Based on the 1997 novel, “Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror” by Steve Altan, this film was directed by Jon Turtletaub and stars Jason Statham, Cliff Curtis, Li Bingbing, Page Kennedy, Ruby Rose, Rainn Wilson & Winston Chao. After a deep water expedition of the Mariana Trench goes very wrong, a group of scientists are horrified to learn that a 75 foot “Megalodon” shark has escaped the trench and is headed for populated waters in the Pacific Ocean. The film rights were originally bought by Disney shorty after the novel was published but after years of development hell, the rights were then acquired by Warner Bros. and plans for a feature film were announced in 2013.

You can always start your day right with action especially with Jason Statham and now in Meg2: The Trench Jing Wu and Shuya Sophia Cai.This sequel follows Meg, the 2018 blockbuster, shark - no I mean Megalodon, the Giant Prehistoric Shark, that has recorded to be as long as 60 feet. However, the movie was 80 feet and there were multiple. The movie was so good, Mr. Fonseca aka the KID, watched it twice because he had to have his older brothers, Mateo and Andre check it out. The movie is theoried to inspire future palaeontologists and we need it because the ocean floor is the most unexplored area in the world. The movie is adapted from the bestselling novel "Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror" by Steve Alten. But this movie set in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean may have a lot of scientific inaccuracies - the megalodon are known to be extinct, but exploring the unknown as a diver or a future scientist may inspire another generation to explore the ocean floor. Trivia fact: Why the big hype about Pippin the dog? While the Meg wants RIP Pippin, this movie keeps coming back and was first scene in the original Jaws but as Pipit, the black labrador retriever, the true star of Jaws. Positive review to make sure to go to this movie especially if Barbie is sold out, again!

This week marks the first week of our MayGay Shark month here on Slashers Podcast! Today we kick off this month with our dear friend Micah from Damn That's Scary podcast to discuss 2018's The Meg. If you all recall, or were like Ade and Micah thinking this movie came out like a year ago, this 2018 film centers around a giant Megalodon shark and the people it picks off. It was directed by Jon Turtletaub, who you may know directed classics like National Treasure, Cool Runnings, and 3 Ninjas. The film is loosely based on the novel Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, written by Steve Alten. It stars Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Winston Chao and Cliff Curtis. There is currently a sequel in development and should be released by August of next year, but until then, listen in to all of the juicy details of this week's episode, and feel free to chime in if there are any other shark horror flicks you'd like us to cover.

Watery but not quite grave, it's Steve Alten's Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror that we're sinking our rows of nine-inch teeth into this time around. Giant prehistoric sharks known as megalodons butt themselves into ships throughout, making them, we guess, megs of ram, and oh boy do our heroes have a hard drive escaping these mighty predators. It's a classic monster story, with all the trimmings: sad hero, back-stabbing friends—and enemies!—things going wrong one after the other, and terrible threats gaining a taste for the best blood of all, human blood! In the finest tradition, it includes the phrase "gouts of gore" and more jawsplaining than anyone could have expected. Grab your spyglass and prepare to shout "Hark! It's a shark!" This shark week, it's time ... for the brine.   Recommendations: Mucca Pazza Trouble Every Day Raw How we found out about the book: this Deadspin article Music: "Baseball" by Michael Franks "Moby Dick" by Led Zeppelin "My Name is Jonas" by Weezer
