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?

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.

Episode 32 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Your hosts Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are back to continue their Summer Of Sharks miniseries.
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?

Episode 31 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! After taking a brief break from their Summer Of Sharks miniseries, your hosts Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are back in those dangerous waters again!
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...

First up, of course, it's 1975's JAWS, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw. Could you talk shark movies without covering this one? We didn't think so, so here it is!

Episode 25: Chopping Mall/The Woman In The Window

It's time for Episode 25 of The HD Movie Podcast! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell clock up a quarter century of episodes with a Movie Challenger and a look at a recent addition to Netflix!
This week's Movie Challenge was set by Darren and it's back to the grainy heydays of VHS heydays with Jim Wynorski's CHOPPING MALL, starring Kelli Maroney and Barbara Crampton as two of a group of partying mall employees fighting off killer security robots!
The second half of the HDMP double bill is Joe Wright's oft-delayed THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW, starring Amy Adams as an agoraphobic woman who may or may not have witnessed a terrible crime.
