Episode 143: SUMMER OF SHARKS AND FRIENDS #6 - Lake Placid

Episode 143 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! If it's a film of any year, any genre and any quality, there's a good chance Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell will want to discuss it.

Five down, five to go in our Summer And Sharks And Friends miniseries and our aquatic menace this week is a croc in Steve Miner's LAKE PLACID! This 1999 flick was written by the prolific David E. Kelley and once we've made our way through just some of his many credits, it's on with the chat! 

Your hosts discuss Steve Miner's early movies, they play Does The Cow Die?, let Brendan Gleeson's accent slide and ponder why someone would ever cheat on Bridget Fonda. There are also the delights of an increasingly foul-mouthed Betty White, a twinge of nostalgia for Hayley as she casts her mind back to experiencing one of her first gore sequences and a look at this film's SyFy sequels.

Tell you what isn't a crock - it's the Summer Of Sharks theme by Mitch Bain, who also writes and performs the other tunes you hear on the podcast. You can find him on Instagram if you look for "evertheoptimitch".
