In this episode, we dive headfirst into the oversized shark tank that is The Meg and its sequel, The Meg 2: The Trench. Jason Statham fights prehistoric sea monsters, studios fight logic, and we fight to answer one simple question: is this the kind of movie franchise modern audiences actually deserve?
We break down the good (giant shark carnage, Statham punching nature in the face), the bad (everything else), and the baffling (how did we get a sequel before Dredd 2?). Along the way, we talk about the state of blockbuster cinema, why audiences keep turning up for big dumb fun, and whether franchises like The Meg are a symptom of Hollywood’s creative bankruptcy or proof that sometimes people just want to watch a massive shark eat billionaires.
Grab your floaties , it’s going to be a messy swim.
