Don Shanahan
At least one of the hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network has no shame bowing at the altar of James Cameron. As grandiose and superfluous as he may be as a filmmaker, the guy is a cornerstone titan when it comes to dramatic action cinema. 1989’s The Abyss has all of James Cameron’s watery, technical, nail-biting, and melodramatic calling cards. Leave it to this podcast to soak in the massive director’s cut of The Abyss to compare notes on this Cameron-isms.
For their 174th episode, two roughneck film critics, two bioluminescent dads, and two teachers with the bends, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, venture below the waves to the deep trench of James Cameron hallmarks that compose The Abyss, starring Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and, our show’s favorite of the bunch, Michael Biehn. They pull out all the oxygen tanks and “water weenies” out for a good show. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
