Ep1113: Dangerous Animals (2025) - Roundtable Review
Just when you thought it was safe to write off another killer-shark movie--here comes Sean Byrne's Dangerous Animals to mangle your expectations!
Friendly Australian tourist boat operator Bruce Tucker (Jai Courtney) loves taking young couples on shark-feeding tours in the heart of the ocean--only trouble is, he feeds his customers to the sharks! Enter Zephyr, a free-spirited surfer played by Hassie Harrison. After being kidnapped by Tucker, she must fight her way out of the bowels of his vessel before he can turn her into chum.
In this spoilerific (you've been warned) panel discussion, Ian, Cati, and David heap praise on Byrne's thriller--while also talking about some of the off-putting character dynamics that almost (ahem) sunk the story for one of them.
They also talk about Jai Courtney's stunning transformation into a real actor and lament the state of movie trailers--with Dangerous Animals being Exhibit A!
