    EP#156-Crimson Tide 1995
    Apr 4 2025

    In this episode, to honour the late, great Gene Hackman, Charlie and George are taking a deep dive on Crimson Tide!

    There's a lot to discuss, it's a Tony Scott film (so expect slick, sweaty visuals), two of the greatest actors squaring off in a confined space and a booming Hans Zimmer soundtrack, paving the formula for future Simpson/Bruckheimer productions.

    As usual, there's some juicy behind-the-scenes insight and some interesting alternative casting in Coulda Woulda Shoulda.
