Episode 37 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! The Summer Of Sharks is over and your hosts Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are back on dry land to mull over two more movies.
This week, it's a Birthday Special for Darren so he got to choose the films and it's a Shudder double bill featuring two of his favourite genre icons! First up, it's new release JAKOB'S WIFE starring Barbara Crampton as a woman who gains a new perspective on life when she's turned into a vampire. Secondly, it's Elvira as, er, Elvira in ELVIRA, MISTRESS OF THE DARK!

Episode 36: SUMMER OF SHARKS #10 - The Shallows

Episode 36 of The HD Movie Podcast is here and it's tenth and final instalment in the Summer Of Sharks miniseries!
Your hosts Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell wade into those choppy waters one last time to discuss 2016's THE SHALLOWS, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and starring Blake Lively as a medical school dropout trapped on a small outcrop of rock with a ravenous shark just waiting for her to make a swim for it.
To round off, Hayley and Darren pick their top 3 shark films from the last ten episodes. Will your favourite be in their selection?
That ace Summer Of Sharks theme - and all the other music you hear on this episode - is written and performed by the force that is Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Episode 35: SUMMER OF SHARKS #9 - Surrounded

Episode 35 of The HD Movie Podcast is here and it's the penultimate instalment of the Summer of Sharks miniseries!
This week, your hosts Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell take a look at 2018's SURROUNDED (aka Frenzy), directed by Jose Montesinos and featuring a group of vloggers who may about to become fish food as their plane goes down in the drink and three hungry sharks close in on them.
Having participated in vlogs themselves, is this a realistic view of vlogging culture? How does the shark action hold up? And does one of Jose Montesinos' other movies land the title of Oddest Shark Film Ever Made?
The Summer Of Sharks theme - and the rest of the music you hear on The HD Movie Podcast - is written and performed by the amazing Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Episode 34 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Your hosts Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell's present the 8th instalment of their Summer Of Sharks miniseries!
This time out, it's 2018's THE MEG, which pits Jason Statham and a team of diverse characters against a very big shark. Guest and shark superfan Cait Orton returns for a second episode. Hayley soon discovers that both Cait and Darren are big fans of The Stath - can she cope with the ensuing love-in?
The Summer Of Sharks theme - heck, all the music you hear on this podcast episode - is written and performed by Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Episode 33: SUMMER OF SHARKS #7 - Deep Blue Sea (Guest: Cait Orton)

Episode 33 of The HD Movie Podcast is here and it's time for the latest instalment of your hosts Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell's Summer Of Sharks miniseries!
This week, it's back to 1999 for Renny Harlin's big budget DEEP BLUE SEA, with a very decent cast (including Samuel L. Jackson and LL Cool J), some fancy animatronics, some not so fancy CGI and a fairly flimsy reason to get Saffron Burrows down to her underwear.
And there's a guest to discuss this week's film, as shark aficionado and movie fan Cait Orton joins Hayley and Darren to talk the finer points of the "shark as slasher film" theory, to delve into the lyrics of LL Cool J's song "Deepest Bluest" and to endure an ongoing mini-rant about Open Water.
The Summer Of Sharks theme - and the rest of the music you hear on The HD Movie Podcast - is written and performed by the amazing Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

After last episode's swim into sequel territory with Jaws 2, we ride those follow-up waves once more with SHARKNADO 2: THE SECOND ONE - it's bigger, it's dafter, it's sharkier! Will we enjoy it as much - or even more - than the first one?

This episode, it's time to chart a course for sequel (or should that be sea-quel?) territory as Roy Scheider returns as Police Chief Martin Brody, battling a second aquatic menace off the shores of Amity in Jeannot Szwarc's JAWS 2!

Episode 30: 30 Days Of Night/13 Going On 30

Episode 30 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! And as it's the 30th episode, your hosts Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell take a short break from their Summer Of Sharks to focus on two movies with "30" in the title.
First up, it's David Slade's 2007 vampire horror 30 DAYS OF NIGHT starring Josh Hartnett and Melissa George as an estranged couple battling Danny Huston's band of grimy bloodsuckers in a remote Alaskan town.
Following this, it's a change of pace entirely with the feelgood Jennifer Garner comedy 13 GOING ON 30 from 2004. The script is flipped with this one but beyond that we're not saying how...
