Open Water

whale fall crawl is good though i've just i've only seen it once

i need to re-watch it whale fall or open water i

haven't seen it yeah i don't know why is this

a genre that i've seen like everything

Crawl was intense.

Yeah.

Whale Fall or Open Water?

Going to have to go Open Water, sorry.

Hey, y'all, it's Kelly.

So I was just trying to catch up on the show or whatever, and, um, you were talking about, like, top movies for the spooky season.

Well, let me just tell you something.

I am appalled, appalled.

I mean, I mean, yeah, we like it.

We like it, and you're on point.

But it made me go look, and I checked like five different lists of Halloween movies.

And on one of the lists, it was actually number one, and on a couple of the lists, it was two, and on another one, it was three.

I'm done.

[laughs] So J- if Jaws is the number one, I would think, like, number two for, like, "Oh, F to the that," has gotta be Open Water.

Oh, yeah, without a doubt.

It's gotta be Open Water.

Open Water's even more terrifying because it is based on a true story-

Yeah

... about a couple, s- uh, scuba diving in Australia, and the headcount was wrong, and they were left, and they were never seen again.

The audience score for this movie makes no sense.

Yeah, but the kids don't know because they're not teaching it.

Mao announced Communist propaganda, like this film, to rally the people against landowners.

[shouting in foreign language]

She's calling him an evil elite, landowner.

Fear

...

they spent 100 days filming the whole season.

You know-

Certainly better than Greyhound.

And then we've got Open Water.

And I would put Open Water in a similar category to The Perfect Storm, which is like a movie that I saw released when I was younger.

Yeah, it was released in 2003, so I was 10 years old.

Open Water is just a survival horror movie, independent movie, that is based on the true story of the disappearance of Tom and Eileen Lonergan.

One of the first movies I remember to aesthetically be very distinctly filmed with handheld DV cameras, I think it was, almost like Michael Mann went on to do with Collateral.

That was an aesthetic that was growing at that time in the early noughties,

I haven't had any horror stories.

Um, just I, I talked about it on a, an earlier pod where the first date I went on the, w- uh, we went back to his house and we were just watch- watching a movie and he wanted to watch the Osama Bin Laden documentary-

[laughs]

... which to me I was like-

It was like eh.

[laughs]

But d- did you ever see that movie Open Water? Yeah.

Yes.

So you lower your standards to get the most you possibly can.

Somebody says, "I write music for TV and film, and at best 10 out of 200 songs will get placed, and perhaps two out of the 10 placed will make the most." Yeah, I mean, I loved Lord of the Rings, loved The Hobbit, but the music for a fairly trash soap opera like Star Wars is way better than the music for Lord of the Rings, which is not very good.

Sorry, it's just not very good.

Superman, the original Superman with Christopher Reeves, '70s Superman, fantastic music.

It's Movies We Love

Hey everybody, this is Movies We Love, a movie commentary podcast that you can listen to while doing just about anything.

Here's how it works.

For every movie I cover, I give you two different versions of that episode.

If you look right now in your episode feed, one will say With Audio, the other one won't.

The With Audio version is designed to be listened to like a traditional podcast.

So whether you're driving in the car, going for a walk, working out, doing chores, or chugging beers, man, that's the version you want.

The other version has no movie audio.

Oh, geez.

What was that? Open Water,

yes.

That is a terrifying movie.

It's a horrifying...

No, Open Water is the one about the two divers that fell off their boat and were left adrift.

Is that Paul

Walker? That's Open Water, is it?
