DeepStar Six (1989)
All the hot young people in this underwater base are coupled up and fucking each other. But what about the other members of the crew?? Their old, ugly asses don’t deserve love? That’s just the reality if you’re stationed on DEEPSTAR SIX. We’ve got quite a film this week, thrills, chills and most likely the birth place of Matt McCoy’s beard.

towards the end of this episode the Boyz talk about how if humanity did ever encounter an alien we'd turn it into an amusement park attraction, which is basically the premise of Nope, which would come out the next year. Neat! (0 out of 5 found this comment interesting)
Hell yeah
Playing a bit of catch up on the movies but the VHS box art for this always scared me as a kid. Glad I finally watched it.
I'm late to comment but another Irish listener. Sorry about that one time I said Gabrus & Rodgers don't have self control, come to Dublin.
Only the Boyz can rail against the problems in a movie, while at the same time doing a cold-open bit from "years ago" that references their current social media binge. What even is this cold open?
And I'm a cold open buff.
When everyone rewatches The Abyss, do you watch the theatrical or directors cut?
Directors Cut
Rode crew for Ithaca for a year, eh? Someone has been talking to their friend who stays at their Ma's basement in Quincy.
Both DeepStar Six and Leviathan are not very good movies, but I still find them very extremely watcahble and do a double feature of them every now and then. They represent a time when Hollywood wasn't afraid to put some money behind R-Rated sci-fi horror movies (see also: Deep Rising, The Relic, Event Horizon, etc.) - they may not be the best, but they have practical effects and don't feel as sterile as modern movies. I tend towards DS6, but I think Leviathan has a better creature. Oh, and Lords of the Deep? It's a Roger Corman movie, which is probably all that needs to be said, and it looks like it was made in the early 70s. MST3K covered it on their Netflix reboot - watch that instead.
Can’t wait for UnderWateApril!
I submit that you all are atheist. There are thousands of gods that you don't believe in, and I just believe in 1 less than you do.
What were those 'cherry' things that explode called? It was "Cherry... something"? Oh yea, Cherry Tomato. I was thinking cherry bomb, but alright
"The best kind of positive is a false one, when it comes to diseases...." - Stanger. I had to listen to that pearl again. Hilarious
Boys you don't need to have a whole skincare routine but invest in a good moisturizer with sunscreen. Skin cancer kills more people than Chuck Norris in Missing in Action.
Rodgers getting mad at Stanger about Snuffleupagus made me feel like that kid at a friend's dinner table where the dad gets pissed and calls the mom "stupid."
I was just happy to hear Ben joking there because it was getting depressing lol.
I completely forgot that I had a similar Black Fish story to Rodgers. First or second date with a girl I met in my college Spanish class. We went out for Pizza then she recommended this movie "Black Fish" which I had never heard of because she knew I was in a couple marine science classes. The rest of the night I just kept thinking why would she suggest this movie on a date and it completely threw me off. That relationship ended very soon after that
Hey fellow listeners. Does anyone remember what episode of Hollywood Handbook that Gabrus was talking about a couple episodes ago? Might have been on Shadow Wolves, can’t remember
I think it was one with Pat Walsh... if that helps narrow it down a bit
Jon “dats Christian imperialism” Gabrus
Yeah. It's a pervasive idea that needs to end. Dafuq you on about!!??
If anyone is interested in this sort of setting, I cannot recommend the comic Dept. H by Matt Kindt highly enough. Kindt is now raking in the big bucks creating IP with Keanu Reeves on the comic BRZRKR, but Dept. H is this wonderfully strange murder mystery/psychological thriller set on a DeepStar Six-like underwater base. Seething with paranoia, indelible art, and with great characters.
My Bar Mitzvah was DeepStar Six themed. I was bummed because I wanted a Leviathan themed Bar Mitzvah.
Gwildor, Emerson big motherfuckin' slits
Truly hilarious that they think Fisher Stevens directed Blackfish because he did black face and was on The Black List
A Carolco documentary is one of the bonus features on the Total Recall 4k release.
So Stanger - was it your sister or your half sister that commented on your underroos? Going with half.
If we’re doing this kind of high-brow fare, “Deep Rising” can’t be far off. Fingers crossed.
Mid 30's Shadow Wolf who still has to deal with adult acne here. Believe me when I say I'm extremely jealous of my friends who either never wash their face or can literally wash their face once a week with bathroom hand soap and be fine. It's really fucking annoying when you go on a say, a weekend Vegas trip and I'm like, well I need to bring my face wash, and then also my post wash treatment wipes, and also my shower face wash.
“Oh, he's a big honker,” Jonathan E. calmly said, as the creature sprang from the air lock and severed Richardson’s torso.
Good Stanger questions and Rodgers mispronunciations today. 5 stars
hail Satan
I was a weapons loader in the USAF and worked with way more Christians than I would expect, like we're blowing people up is Jesus cool with that?
I wouldn’t worry about it, Jesus knows you guys are Blue Falcons.
The ABz need to call their reps and get a read for the next Jesse Stone. And speaking of caves, I’m pumped for The Rescue. It’s a NatGeo doc from the Free Solo directors about the Thai soccer team cave rescue. It’s already in theatres in the US and probably on Disney+ soon. Lastly (seriously, I’ll shut the fuck up), the Soul Man SW should be a double with (RIP) MVP’s Watermelon Man.
The Stone series are amazing!!!!
grandpa?
Should’ve saved this for Deep SeaPtember
Speaking of movies that just keep getting sequels. The Tremors franchise is insane and just keeps going
Podcasters wonder why their listeners form unhealthy parasocial relationships with their podcast, and the answer is, the Boyz are probably never going to chase you and beat you with sticks.
I spent a really long time thinking my childhood was normal. Lol. What do you mean you've never seen multiple people, at multiple times, get hit in the head with a brick? Lol!
plussed it up
To answer Stanger’s question, yes this is a better food movie than Chef
cavren
after saying modern totally normal like five times in the Rollerball episode talking about the "modern architecture" a fluke collectors item ep I guess
Can't wait for the Irish live show. You can probably fit everyone in my gaff in needed.
I thought I was the only person named Alan in Ireland who subscribed to an action movie podcast for rabbit-crushing losers.
It was brutal where I grew up. Just a couple small stories of things my "friends" did to me in the mid 90's. One time, I got in a fight with an entire family, (mother, daughter, son, Older son) because they stole $10 from my little sister and got called out.) My first real friend smacked me in the head with a skateboard and knocked me out when we were 5. He later put a note in a bottle saying he had been kidnapped and was being held captive at my address. The cops showed up months later. My parents still think it was me 35 years later. One friend had a bush in his backyard that they discovered made the perfect switch... 10 of them chased me through the streets, beating me with these switches because? Literally no reason. Another time, we set up road blocks on a one way street and lined the only exit point with glass bottles... As cars drove by, they either plowed through the bottles or they stopped and got out. When they did that, we would pop out from behind some bushes and pelt them with mudballs. Sometimes, I tell folks these stories and they don't believe that shit like that really happened... And that's when I realize I was neglected and lived in a really fucked up neighborhood. So yeah.. I think that's what makes this show hit so close to home for me.... Does anyone else understand that?
That all reads like the background detail for an article about the making of a serial killer. If you don’t have a collection of other people’s body parts stashed somewhere you’re doing well in life. 😳
Puberty is brutal: “Hey there! I notice you suddenly care what you look like and hope that you’re appealing to others. Well tough shit, I’m going to fuck you up by making you look the worst you will this side of the grave, all the while caught in a hormonal hurricane of emotions. Enjoy the psychological and possibly physical scarring that’ll help shape you for life.” 😎
David bringing some Belle & Sebastian energy into a post about DeepStar Six. Respec
Matt McCoy is a treasure
Not wearing a bra is a character in this movie.
