Just in time for Shark Week, Michael and David invite Jaws fan extraordinaire Dan Taylor into the shark cage for a deep dive into the film that launched a few legendary careers and started the summer blockbuster phenomenon. 

After a long, unintended hiatus, Michael and David are back with a quick episode about the 2008 TV series Crusoe starring Philip Winchester, Tongayi Chirisa, Sam Neill, and Sean Bean. 

Rob Graham was our guest on the Blackbeard's Ghost episode and recently, while waiting to begin a conversation for a different podcast, he and Michael got to talking about 'Casting Off, which led them to discuss a couple of other nautical and island-themed TV shows. Since Michael and David are being slow about watching what they're going to discuss for the next episode, here's Rob and Michael's brief discussion.

David and Michael are joined by Charles Potomac (The Last Hometown) to discuss Toho's shockingly relevant giant submarine vs sea monster commentary on nationalism. We talk about the themes, but also of course about submarines, kaiju, and ancient underwater civilizations. 

You know about Pirates of the Caribbean and Treasure Island. In this episode, Michael and David are joined by their friend Rob Graham to talk about the other Disney pirate film, starring Dean Jones, Peter Ustinov, and Suzanne Pleshette.

An epic start to an epic movie series deserves an epic panel to talk about it. Michael and David are joined by Ron Marz, Liz Twachtman, and Mike Westfall to spring a man from jail, commandeer a ship of the fleet, and sail with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga. We're completely obsessed with the treasure that is this movie.

Michael and David discuss the Mike Mignola-designed, Disney-animated, dieselpunk masterpiece, Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise; starring the voices of Michael J Fox, James Garner, Don Novello, Cree Summer, and Jim Varney.

Michael and David discuss the original, Merian C Cooper classic and how it holds up today. There are comparisons to Peter Jackson's 2005 version and big questions about Carl Denham's fascination with Beauty and the Beast.

Welcome to 'Casting Off, the podcast where father and son Michael and David May talk about nautical and island movies (and sometimes other media). In this introductory episode, they discuss their fondness for oceans and islands, then dive deep into Disney's classic adaptation of the Jules Verne novel, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
