About
Anchors away! The team are joined by the mighty Alex for an aquatic masterpiece - the impeccable “Jaws”. A film that highlights how helpful a wrist strap can be for a marine biologist; demonstrates that a Labrador retriever makes a lovely Amuse-Bouche; and reveals that Lee and Mayor Vaughn share a taste in fashion. Along the way we discuss “Shock Waves”, “Ghost Shark”, “Silent Running”, “Humanoids From The Deep”, “The Banishing”, BBC Sounds’ podcast “The Battersea Poltergeist” and the magnificent zine project “The Occultaria Of Albion”. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us. APOLOGIES FOR ANY SOUND QUALITY ISSUES -CURRENT QUARANTINE MEASURES MEANT WE HAD TO RECORD THIS EPISODE REMOTELY.

ChrisBy about a week or so, that's.
ChrisThat's our timing.
LeeI've got to be honest, it must have gone very well, because it was one of those things where I woke up next morning and I thought, I don't know what I said after about 25 minutes in, I hope we've got listeners next week.
LeeBut it all went all right and everyone still came back, so I think we did all right, it's fine.
