On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are doing what a whole lot more people should be doing: Doing what Jason Statham tells us to do and staying out of the water. It’s the 2018 film from Jon Turteltaub, The Meg.
Some of you may think he’s just some English meathead who’s been in a few excellent Guy Ritchie films and a whole lot more terrible films from other directors. What you may not know is he’s secretly a genius oceanographer and deep sea diver.
You think I’m making things up? I think you’re not giving the great Statham the credit he so rightly deserves! He saved all of our lives from an enormous, nearly unstoppable megalodon shark and you have the temerity to deny him his bona fides? How dare you.
This is just another example of how hard the prettiest and richest people in the world have it. You have no idea. We’ve got an action film hero who just wants to demonstrate his love of the deep, blue sea and a bunch of armchair critics are demanding that he stay in his lane.
Well, not this guy! I’m 100% in camp Statham. When the next installment in the obviously a documentary series, The Meg 2: The Trench, comes out in 2023, I’ll be there celebrating this great man’s wonderful scientific achievements. Because that’s what a real fan does.
