If you like good, deep, fun discussions of films, specifically films about genetically enhanced sharks (yes, why not? Some of us don’t like “normal” when it comes to cult movies) , then Deep Blue Sea - The Podcast is exactly what you need. 

Hosted by Mark Hofmeyer and Jay Cluitt, the podcast is a chapter-by-chapter dive into the cult classic Deep Blue Sea (1999) movie, breaking down the film's 33 chapters in a very entertaining and engaging way.

Whether you're a longtime fan of the film or just appreciate hearing passionate movie lovers dissect every over-the-top element, this podcast is a love letter to action, science fiction, and awesomely entertaining storytelling.

Why Does This Podcast Stand Out?

Yes, plenty of movie podcasts exist, but few go as in-depth as this. Instead of attempting a quick review or ranking, Deep Blue Sea - The Podcast dedicates an entire episode to a single chapter of the film; therefore, no detail—no matter how small—gets left behind. 

The hosts address everything from scientific impossibilities to iconic one-liners and insane shark logic with humor, passion, and detailed film knowledge.

What takes this show to even higher levels is how Mark and Jay blend analysis and humor. 

They're clearly fans of Deep Blue Sea, yet they're not above poking fun at its ridiculous moments, so that each episode comes across as a humorous and informed conversation between friends.

The level of commitment here is next level. Completing all 33 chapters of Deep Blue Sea guarantees that listeners are treated to a scene-by-scene breakdown, as well as discussions about:

• The best and most absurd moments in the movie.

• Behind-the-scenes facts about the production of the film.

• The film's enduring impact on action and sci-fi films.

• The science (or lack thereof) behind genetically engineered sharks.

It's an absurdly niche concept, I know that, (and maybe you weren’t even born when the movie was released), but that’s part of what makes it so great. 

By leaning into the complete absurdity and brilliance of Deep Blue Sea, the podcast can fete all the things we love about cult action movies, from their over-the-top plots to their surprisingly smart moments.

When & Where to Listen

New episodes of Deep Blue Sea - The Podcast are released every Wednesday and available on PodcastAI, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all other major streaming platforms. 

Because each episode covers a new chapter of the movie, it's easy to tune in and start listening at any point, but I recommend starting from the beginning.

There’s an official X account for those who like to read; if you haven’t seen the movie, you can buy it or rent it on youtube.

Who Is This Podcast For?

This podcast is for you if you like action movies, creature features, and detailed film analysis. It's especially great for:

• Deep Blue Sea enthusiasts who want to relive all the insanity.

• Film lovers who enjoy detailed movie dissections with a dash of humor.

• Individuals who enjoy cult classic dissections and behind-the-scenes stories.

Even if you haven't seen Deep Blue Sea, this podcast's energy, humor, and storytelling make it an entertaining listen for anyone who enjoys fun, over-the-top action films. 

Who Are the Hosts?

Lifelong movie lovers Mark Hofmeyer and Jay Cluitt bring their exhaustive knowledge of the history of film, their rapier wit, and their uncontrollable passion to every episode. 

Mark is a seasoned podcaster with a flair for his excitable detailed review of film, while Jay brings his own brand of humor and opinion, ensuring that their arguments are both fact-filled and riotously funny.
