26 - Leviathan (1989) Review
Manage episode 482519680 series 3618027
Leviathan is a science-fiction horror that's part of the 1980s underwater movie craze.
The film didn't fare so well at the box office, and on the surface, it's a head-scratcher as to why.
There are famous names behind the film -- like special effects master Stan Winston, artist Ron Cobb, and composer Jerry Goldsmith, for a start. RoboCop himself, Peter Weller, leads a fun cast.
The movie hasn't received a glowing critical re-appraisal. Still, there are quiet corners of the internet and plenty of YouTube comments in clip uploads that sing its sea-song praises.
So is Leviathan good? Well, I'm winking which way that goes, but you can't see that. So you have to listen to find out.
This episode will explore all the yeses and nos and discuss the movie's legacy.
