Phantom Galaxy Episode 18: Don't Be Afraid of the Shark

Welcome to Phantom Galaxy Episode 18, where Nathan and Chris sink below the waves to observe a world of gliding monsters and chum the depths of shark movies. We begin the episode with a new feature on the cast, ‘Phantom Rants’, where we hear from you about trends in sci-fi, fantasy and horror that really irk you. Tonight’s rant comes from Brian, who has cast an ‘ill eye’ on possession movies.

Then, we review the new summer shark bait, 47 Meters Down with Mandy Moore and Clair Hoult. We finish the whole thing off with a survey of sharks and the craziness they get up to in the movies, whether it be hanging out in dangerous weather events, causing snow avalanches, or building natural dams of human bodies. Come along, and remember, ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Shark!’
