IN THIS EPISODE…

See this content in the original post

We’re staring into the abyss of 1989’s The Abyss to see what will gaze back. Long before he ever set sail on the Titanic or traveled to Pandora, James Cameron went deep underwater to face off against aliens in this long-forgotten gem. Joined by Lori and Rob from Fright Stuff Podcast (Facebook/Twitter) to discuss not only their show, and their experience with our film festival but also the behind the scenes portions of the film. Along with the film’s use of toxicity in relationships, nostalgia and much more!
