Hello everyone and welcome to another episode!!

Something a little bit different today and one of my more niche cinema opinions that I don't like to talk about too often but that is the idea that shark movies are problematic.

Anyone who has scrolled through streaming services trying to find the perfect movie, will often scroll far enough to reach the depths of the movie-making world that is shark movies. This genre challenges itself to see how silly and unrealistic the genre can get with bad cgi sharks and even worse story lines! While I can laugh at the ridiculousness, I'm a little unsure that shark movies hold a good place in film and tv.

Find the link below to see where you can watch 'Sharksploitation' a documentary that deep dives into this very topic - https://www.flicks.com.au/movie/sharksploitation/

Alternatively, here are some articles that I read while researching for this episode:

Lastly, a list of shark movies that have been made and are available to stream on many streaming services:

I saw Hans Zimmer live !! I was so fortunate and lucky enough to be able to see Hans Zimmer perform his scores and soundtracks in a concert-style performance!

I laughed, I cried, I felt euphoric and most importantly I got to be in the same room as Hans Zimmer himself!
