Director: Stephen Sommers

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey breaks down one of his favorite late-90s creature features, Stephen Sommers’ Deep Rising! A really fun sea monster movie that’s unfortunately dated by some pretty bad CGI. That doesn’t stop the boys from having a blast reviewing this cult film, though! Deep Rising holds up well in 2022 thanks to its stellar cast and fast pacing, and is still worth a viewing if you’ve never seen it before (or if it’s been 20+ years since the last time you watched it).

And speaking of Deep Rising’s stellar cast, this is the first half of our two-part Treat Williams marathon! Look for us to break down and review the classic 80s zombie cop movie, Dead Heat in a couple weeks!
