The Best Underwater Monster Movie Cash In: Leviathan (1989)

[@UfodexENMD]

Just wanted to say thank you guys and Tony from Hack the Movies for all of your hard work. Your reviews have been helping me through a rough time in my life at the moment and just listening to yall talk about movies is like hanging out with good friends that help ease the pain and stress. So thank you Movie Dumpster and Hack the Movies I applied you!

[@MovieDumpster]

We’re glad we could lighten the load for you a little bit! Thanks so much for watching and we really appreciate your support! 🙏💚📼

This movie is the definition of underrated!

[@TheCrazyHedgehogLady]

Absolutely! And it’s still a favorite of mine. I miss that brief time period when underwater horrors were running (swimming? 🙃) amuck in the collective unconsciousness. 👍🏻🐙

[@michaelray3865]

@@TheCrazyHedgehogLadyabyss? Top-notch, but that’s to be expected given James Cameron, the budget, Stan Winston, a sh#t-pot of money, etc. leviathan? Quite satisfying, excellent cast, fairly serviceable effects, good writing. Deep-Star Six? C-grade amusing schlock, with a few characters that I love to hate. A couple other deep-sea flicks? Good for riffing on.

I was watching this movie and my brother walked in and literally said "What is this? Alien?" 😂 I honestly didn't watch this movie for the longest time bc of the poster & was so pleasantly surprised when I finally did

No problem Joe and Sean also keep the grind going guys! Working yalls 9-5 I know must suck but you guys really put out Top Tier Movie content whether it's horror or just regular genre stuff. People care Joe and Sean just remember that when yall feel down and out :)!!!!

[@DissectThatFilm]

I always love seeing the MDxHTM collabs! I remember seeing this movie as a kid, and I believe I saw it before I saw The Thing for the first time, so I didn't know about it ripping it off. I hope they release a 4k bluray of this so I can add it to the collection. Great episode as always!

[@synthetics_music]

One of my favorites 😁 Also, thank you for being open and providing a little "inside baseball" of the workings of this channel. I know from starting and maintaining a YT channel for my music (while working a 9-5 and family) has been a struggle but good to know my favorite content creators are going through same thing. Keep up the great work and would love to help support you guys anyway I can

[@Cybomayne]

I dig this small window of time where all these underwater horror flicks came out. Of the few Ive seen, I think The Rift might be my fav. Got my boy Ray Wise in it. Is Lords of the Deep worth watching at all?

[@MovieDumpster]

I think it’s worth spinning if you haven’t seen it! -Joe

[@Alfador42]

I think Marv probably got his idea for calling his duo with Harry 'The Wet Bandits" after his experience at the bottom of the Atlantic.

[@Wangan280z]

I also find it hilarious when someone references a vampire as “A Dracula”, its always hilarious, especially here with Ernie’s delivery😂

On Friday the 13th the game, yes, the servers are being taken down at the end of the year, the game is still playable til then however the last update broke the trophies/achievements system and they are mostly all now unachievable, the devs were contacted but they refuse to fix it.

[@stephenlively1366]

I saw this movie a few years ago for the first time didn't disappoint 👏, this is a fantastic creature feature with awesome scares and a fantastic monster, some genuinely brilliant performances too 👏 😀.

[@Comicsnculture]

Love this movie. I think the modern equivalent of this type of movie b movie with an a decent budget that has an ensemble cast and a monster would be life.

Great video, i love when you three team up. This movie is awesome, with a stellar cast. It is definitely Alien meets The Thing, which is a good thing. If you guys haven't seen it, i highly recommend a movie called Underwater from 2020, it is very similar to movies such as Alien and Leviathan .

[@MovieDumpster]

Underwater was great! We make a joke about it near the beginning. We’re glad you enjoyed the show! 🙏💚📼

[@praetorianle1988]

Thanks for yet another movie I can use to procrastinate.

[@lionspawfilmandphoto]

I've seen several of the deep sea thrillers from this era and Leviathan is my favorite of the bunch.

[@RR-ho5ek]

One of the things that makes this movie great, is that it is not well known. This movie should not be compared to other movies, it stands alone, and is one of the big three underwater movies, deep star six, Leviathan, and the abyss.

[@paulaburrows8660]

Don't understand the confusion with the doctor's golf comment. It was obviously a sarcastic joke

[@Fixxxer07082]

I remember seeing that artwork for Leviathan in GoreZone magazine as a kid and being intrigued. Looked scary as hell and I also remember the TV spots for it. It’s definitely the better one over DeepStar Six, but they’re both fun, underwater monster movies. Actually…this sounds like a great double feature in my future! Thanks for the idea fellas!

Hello gentlemen. I have never heard of you guys, had no idea about the existence of the show. I watched Leviathan last night because it was a favorite of mine growing up. I went on KZbin to watch videos about the movie, and found your show and this episode. I listen to the whole thing, and now I have to watch and listen to more episodes.

[@RoyceLovesHisShotgun]

1:38:44 its the same explosive that Williams and Six-pack used earlier, right before Six-Pack disappeared and found the sunken Leviathan. Remember the scene; "Remind you of anything, Willie?" "Go screw, Six-Pack" Peter Weller is watching them onscreen in the lab and even does an "boom" when they blow up the rock face and find ore, "Can we get some light on that, Willie?" "Six-Pack, you hear that? They need more light. Six-Pack?... Six-Pack??"

[@ivanelgharbi5861]

I saw this movie like 2 or 3 years ago, and was really surprised , its soo good.

[@nicholastiedemann4590]

Ernie Hudson is amazing in this movie. Just really a bummer he got killed so close to the end of the movie like that. My brother and I have started with a mantra of "I don't want to be Ernie Hudson in Leviathan, I want to be Ernie Hudson in Congo".

[@DonnieBrook69]

I just rewatched this the other day. It really is like the biggest budget version of a Roger Corman movie ever made. Its also kind of like watching a rock supergroup do covers of classic songs.

I love underwater sci-fi. Leviathan is the best none James Cameron underwater sci-fi. I used this movie for a dnd game and of course my dumbest player drank the vodka, and by evil player started closing off the sections on the other players. I'd love to see deepstar six or a link if I've missed it

[@MovieDumpster]

We might cover Deep Star Six!

[@casmith84]

One thing it took me a long time to realize is that there were 2 monsters in the movie. The one beck kills when escaping and then another one he blows up at the end on the surface.

[@Cameroo]

I have really fond memories of seeing this and Deepstar Six back to back with my dad in the 90s. The cast really propels this one for me. I'm still unclear on weather Ernie Hudson survives. I've always hope he had since he gets taken back to the helicopter. I just assumed he was being taken to a medical bay? Anyhoo fun review. Thanks for the great video!

Tony didn't mention what led to "Bitch, we still here!". Meg Foster alerting them that it'll be 48 hours before a rescue can come, she says "Now, I know you've gone through hell...". That's when Ernie screams "Gone through? Bitch, we still here!"

[@ryanpowell2540]

I bought an old DVD of this off of Ebay. It'd be great to do a double feature of it with either Deep Star Six or Of Unknown Origin!

[@anthonyhudak9363]

I've always thought the monster that appeared in the end was the one made from Sixpack that they dumped earlier. Also here's a personal fun fact, I listen to the podcast Horror Virgin and one of the hosts wanted to do Leviathan but did Deepstar Six by mistake and didn't realize until after the hosts watched it that they did the wrong movie

[@MovieDumpster]

Definitely is! The faces on it confirm that. -Joe

[@kamenrangerzeo8251]

Question would you guys considerate Leviathan a cult classic? Cause this film feels like its up there with John Carpenter's The Thing in good b-movie with a A-movie budget. I enjoyed this film for what it was, since it feels like it was trying to find its own identity. Btw I love see you, Tony and Shawn together here talking about this.
