QUIT THRASHING ABOUT IN THE WATER AND LIFE-PRESERVER OUR NEW EPISODE!

The Boys dive into the streaming waters again and take on the French shark thriller Under Paris. Directed by new wave French horror director Xavier Gens - who counts as his new wave compadres Alexandre Aja (“High Tension”), Bustillo and Maury (“Inside”), and Pascal Laugier (“Martyrs”) - Sous La Seine (it’s original French title) chums viewer expectations with the ultimate B movie Jaws-ripoff scenario: a shark in the Seine and the catacombs of Paris. Will streaming audiences take a bite out of this thriller that has plot points touching on evolution and climate change in addition to people getting chewed up Richard Shaw style or is this an uneven paced, cringe acting, lousy CGI a la SyFy cold fish? 

For his plus, Emcee talks “State of the Movie Union” now that we are halfway through the film release year….there will be stats/numbers, business talk, and #saveexhibition. Cupcake takes loyal listener Chris “Judd” Hoover’s suggestion and ventures into the theatres to “watch” an M. Night Shyamalan-adjacent film. 

“Q and Alex” rocks the boat with wakeup times, the CastleFlexx, the dreaded 10 year question, weird creature-fight hypotheticals, and gym equipment that sucks. (Editor’s Note: This is Beanie. My hooman asks random questions this week. It should STOP. Also feed me.)

CHOMP ON THE NEW EPISODE!!!
