[@SonicMania2099]

I'm surprised you guys didn't mention that The Meg got a sequel that came out this year

[@michikip45]

The Meg feels like a B movie script that got a really good cast and a really good budget and honestly I live for when that kind of thing happens.

[@abdgotchills]

I was convinced people were just overblowing this B-Movie thing since this didn't feel like a B-movie flick after watching it first hand. I still don't, it was more enjoyable than a lot of Big Blockbusters

[@Hkung-mu6cd]

@@abdgotchillsWell…just lemme put it into perspective by comparing this with the first John Wick. They’re both movies primarily focused around mindless action They both have fairly simplistic characters and plots. But somehow this movie has a budget nearly 8 times that of John Wick. And before someone mentions it. Yes, I know this movie requires much more CGI than John Wick so it isn’t really a fair comparison but my point still stands

[@TheMellowFilmmaker]

I haven't seen this film, but I do like that this film subverts both the ex-wives tropes. Usually in films, the ex-wife is either an awful person or a love interest that the hero wins back. Here, she's neither and even encourages her ex when he finds someone new.

"We know that when rights aren't given, they have to be fought for" is such a good quote and I love it

[@jimlahey3919]

But who gets to decide what qualifies as “rights”? The management or union? Both can’t be right. Often times, like with my union, we’re fighting for complete nonsense that isn’t at all fair for the employer. Union employees generally are babies with way more rights than they should get.

[@KraylebStudios]

@@jimlahey3919 I mean treating employees with basic respect is always a good thing. Paying them well and as promised is also a good thing Overworking them and forcing them to meet ridiculous deadlines is also something a lot of people are fed up with as well.

A -man's- shark's gotta eat.

[@thewhompingwampa2671]

Food is food, and an animal that big and energetic would need a _ton_ of calories every day.

[@shockwavethedog]

The Meg is a massive animal that needs tons of calories to survive each day. Not getting enough food and being out competed by Great Whites is what killed off the Meg millions of years ago when the oceans began to cool. Plus the Meg is warm blooded. It needs to eat more when it gets colder since its body will use energy to keep itself warm. The Meg in this film, more than likely, is feeling the affects of having traveled through miles of cold and deep ocean to reach the surface, hence the continuous carnage and eating.

[@Tymanus666]

Sounds like my dad.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Let's be real, we only one we ever cared about surviving was the dog. This and _Deep Blue Sea_ are easily the best shark movies that aren't _Jaws,_ a movie I can just have fun with.

I remember seeing an interview with Rainn Wilson where he said that almost immediately after he was cast in the film the director, if I’m not mistaken, asked him “If the shark had a voice who’s voice would it be?” And Wilson answered “Jason Statham.” Shortly afterwards Statham was cast as the main character, Wilson was very happy

James you’ve provided me with the most enjoyable meal types with this luxurious entertainment for all these years, may your pillows be soft and cold and may your meals be hot.

[@leyjsmith6657]

I love how you guys added how the animation for the movie was done to bring more awareness to the animators!! I hope to pursue this industry in the future so here's to hoping it gets better!🤞

You never realize how brilliant these scripts are unless you watch with subtitles on. "Hunky Dory" indeed. That earned a hearty chuckle from me.

[@jonathancederlund1985]

I saw this movie eight (8) times in the cinema, have seen it over 20 more times since it came out on digital, and I regret NOTHING!!!

[@wendigotoes]

I genuinely think the CGI in this film is revolutionary, and it needs to be recognized for it, even if people don’t like the movie itself.

[@Nube-Gamer]

17:18 “they bond over Meg related trauma… and how hot they both are” James you rascal xD

[@FlatterNewt1036]

I recently rewatched this movie for Shark Week and to get ready for the sequal next week. Really loved this episode. That ‘To the Numbers’ bit was perfect. I look forward to ‘They Talk’ season 2 lol

[@Jediand]

I've not finished the video as I know it'll be great fun regardless, I just wanted to say I appreciate the both of you for just being decent, wholesome, people who will do what they can to help others who are trying to get what they deserve. You don't just ask people to "be good people", you stand as an example. Thank you! One idea for you is that you could do "Killcount: (Media) addition" such as videogame, old TV or Murder Mysteries and such. Just a thought! Now to enjoy the Killcount. Have a good day!

The wholesome and dedicated behind the scenes stuff? The deep cut musical theater reference at 21:49? Nah, it's gotta be They Talk season 2 confirmation! Hell yeah! Loved this episode!!
