BIRD PROTOCOL

Episode 27: The Abyss


Listen Later

James Cameron is a mad genius who possibly is in cahoots with an underwater alien race. What? Don’t believe us? Listen to this episode of BIRD PROTOCOL and we might just change your mind.

This week the bird boys chat about Cameron’s 1989 film “The Abyss”. A technical marvel, this movie is equal parts sci-fi, thriller, military film, and adventure film… it’s a wild ride from start to finish. We talk about the difference between the theatrical version and what we consider the definitive special edition director’s cut. We talk about how crazy it was to make, what makes Cameron an amazing director, Ed Harris, Michael Biehn, water aliens, the UAP phenomenon, and a bunch more.

In this episode, we weigh the pros and cons of each version of this film and talk about our favourite scenes and characters. We talk about the various endings and which we prefer. We discuss which aspects of this movie really work and which are a little lackluster and leave us wanting more. We talk about Cameron’s insane attention to detail, how he is always pushing the envelope, and his amazing world-building. We chat about auteurist American pop film. We revisit some of his other works and discuss our favourites. We do a deep dive on USOs, UAPs, and an incident at Baikal Lake where some Russians supposedly met some aliens while diving. We ponder if Cameron knew some things that may have been classified while working with the military and industrial complex in making this movie. We marvel at the technicality of the production and cinematography. We do it all.

So, get your wet suit on, fill your mask up with that pink breathing fluid, and come down to the deep with us. We've got glowing aquatic aliens and stuff.
