Episode description
Welcome to Highbrow Lowbrow. The show where our podcast hosts Steve Powell and Dan Slattery pit high art against low culture.
In today's episode, Dan examines Wolfgang Peterson's classic submarine drama Das Boot. Is it the greatest war movie of all time, or should it just stay submerged?
Continuing the Naval theme, Steve talks about his fondness for the Steven Seagal action film Under Siege. Is it a nineties classic, or just a waterlogged Die Hard ripoff?
As always, dear listener, the final decision is up to you.
Spoilers ahead. Enjoy the show.
