Episode description
Throughout June we'll be highlighting thalassophobia and the fear of deep waters.
This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are going underwater, or rather, we're getting pulled into it. We're covering a film that has spent nearly 50 years being dismissed as a Jaws knockoff and deserves considerably better than that. Orca: The Killer Whale is not a film about a shark. It is a film about grief, vendetta, and the specific kind of reckoning that arrives when you destroy something that was capable of loving what you destroyed.
