  • Episode 142: SUMMER OF SHARKS AND FRIENDS #5 - Under Paris
    Jul 25 2024

    Episode 142 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are here too, ready to discuss movies of any year, any genre and any quality.

    Summer Of Sharks And Friends pivots back to sharks this week, with the recent Netflix hit UNDER PARIS under scrutiny. The movie is literally In Seine as the French capital is under attack from a predator which has clearly watched Jaws: The Revenge.

    Aside from Darren's dodgy French pronunciation, your hosts talk about how Euro shark fare can differ from that from the good old U. S. of A., as well as the alternate viewing experiences of dubbing versus subtitles, how this film seems to suggest that environmentalists are a bunch of twats and whether or not Kiki The Dog makes it to the end credits. Plus a whole lot more, of course.

    Synonymous with other shark movie coverage is the cracking Summer Of Sharks theme by Mitch Bain. You can find him on social media: @whoelsebutmitch on X, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

  • Episode 141: SUMMER OF SHARKS AND FRIENDS #4 - Piranha (2010)
    Jul 18 2024

    Episode 141 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Any movie. Any genre. Any quality. But not just any hosts: you're getting Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell.

    After last episode's look at 1978's PIRANHA, Summer Of Sharks And Friends continues with a look at 2010's, er, Piranha. Alexandra Aja took on a few remakes, of which this is one, and upped the ante with more blood, more boobs and more of other stuff beginning with "b"!

    Your hosts talk about the various items which are shoved in the face of the audience, the effect of soundtracking gratuitous nudity with classical music, some canny casting choices and how it stacks up against Joe Dante's original. There's also a revelation as to whether or not the Pixies are cool and Darren plays a game of Spot The Adult Movie Star.

    Do you think "That Summer Of Sharks theme tune is good"? You'd be right. It's composed and performed by Mitch Bain and you can find him on social media: @whoelsebutmitch on X, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

  • Episode 140: SUMMER OF SHARKS AND FRIENDS #3 - Piranha (1978)
    Jul 11 2024

    Episode 140 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! If a movie is being discussed by Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell, it could be from any year, from any genre and of any quality.

    Our Summer Of Sharks And Friends miniseries continues with the first detour into the "And Friends" portion of the title. The focus is still on a fishy menace, but a smaller one and with hundreds, if not thousands, of their mates in tow. We take a look at Joe Dante's PIRANHA from 1978!

    The year should suggest that this Roger Corman production was an attempt to cash in on the Jaws movies and your hosts get into that lawsuit bait, as well as the general Corman ethos regarding low-budget movie making and the Oscar-winning talent those films spawned. Hayley and Darren also play spot the horror icon, shout out their love for practical effects, discover if the dog dies and talk remakes.

    We might not be covering sharks this week but that's no excuse not to feature our awesome Summer Of Sharks theme tune by our Cap'n of composing that is Mitch Bain! You can find him on social media: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.
