And it's gonna be video stars! I can force a naked in his belly, rock a wine stove, ask Rob Whippin, Justin and Kelly. Or maybe see a burlesque show with Dick Crow.

We are live at the Nantucket Film Festival to talk about one of the most important shark films ever made. That's right, the 2012 film Bait, which was shot in 3D. If you're wondering, we are in the Skansa Casino, which is not a casino, but we are not asking questions about that.
If you've not seen Bait, this is what you need to know. A freak tsunami traps shoppers at a coastal Australian supermarket, and inside the building are two 12-foot great white sharks. That's right. And now they must survive. As the tagline calls it, clean up on aisle 7.
Because a tsunami just flipped the food chain. Here to break down tonight's film is my co-host, Mr. Jason Manzoukas. What's up, jerks? That's right. Here we go, Nantucket. Oh, wow. What the? Get comfortable. This is too comfortable. You're on my porch. We'll be having a mint julep in just a moment. Yeah, this is a very comfortable... Get me a Nantucket nectar ASAP.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, man. While you've been in here, I lost 10 grand at the blackjack table. Oh, my gosh. That is not a functioning blackjack table. There is a blackjack table back there at this casino that I am bankrupting myself at.
Don't worry. We don't have air conditioning, but that's not a problem because this movie will cool you down. I mean, a lot of you, you asked earlier how many people had watched the movie and a smattering of applause, but then those of you who didn't watch the movie just watched the trailer and aren't you like, we fucked.
Holy shit. Or are you like, thank God we didn't watch that. Dreamland Movie Theater, we worship you for playing this on Saturday for $5. Did you ask how many people were at the Dreamland? Yeah, how many people went to the Dreamland? Yeah. Nice. All right. Look at that. Nice. Good work, Donnick.
Jason, have you ever seen Bait before? Oh, of course. I've seen it all the time. No! I've never seen this before and I wish I hadn't seen it this time. What an absolute nightmare this was to be in a picturesque, beautiful New England town all day and instead be sitting in the hotel watching this movie on an iPad. No, thank you.
Jason, it is a classic film. I mean, it really is. It's up there with all the great horror. Oh, Casablanca. Yes. Yes, Chinatown, 2001. Bait. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my other co-host, the lovely June Diane Rayfield. Welcome, June. How are you? I'm okay. Hi. Rowdy. Oh, it's so nice. All the oxygen being pumped into the casino, you can just kind of, wakes you up real quick.
That's so nice. June, you watched Bait with our seven-year-old son. Okay, okay, okay. So when we arrived on Nantucket, Paul said, let's show the kids Jaws. And I said, that's crazy. They're going to be terrified to go in the water.
And so I showed them bait. I love it. I love it. They need to know. They need to know. They need to see. Well, first of all, our seven-year-old came in late in the movie. So I didn't show the beginning. But then he came in and he saw things. He saw things that he'll never unsee. He missed all the romance in the beginning. Oh, that's too bad. But when I tell you he laughed.
Every scene where I was like... Theatrically? Huge... Like a villain? Huge laughs. And I thought, oh, this is going to terrify him. Like, I shouldn't be doing this, but I'm too lazy to get up. And every time I thought this was going to really scare him and scar him, he would laugh hysterically. Oh, yeah. So, yeah. There's nothing in this movie that I think could scare anyone. Anyone.
Mainly because it's all CGI and CGI that is so bad. I would say that even a seven-year-old understands that everybody in this movie deserves to die.
Here's the reality. We're trapped in this grocery store and it's a joining parking structure with, after a tsunami... You mean the car park? The car park, yes. After this tsunami, which is unquestionably just absolutely totaled the coastline, is wreaking havoc for the people involved, and we're stuck with these fucking idiots? Yes.
I wish every one of them had died minute one. I would have just watched another hour and a half of the sharks eating. Happily. Because these people were all dumber than the next. It's
an anti-australian ad it's like don't come to australia we're full of terrible people there are sharks even in our supermarkets not just in this and not just in the water but even our supermarkets are shock shark that that is something just to jump to the plot of the movie that there's a tsunami the sharks get in the supermarkets they're trapped in there that's the movie um but but
Why didn't they consider feeding the sharks with the- All the dead bodies. Or the grocery items? Sure. Oh, there's huge, there's half, there's multiple half cows. There's so much meat. Multiple slabs of beef. There's aisles of meat. And they have so much more access seemingly to duct tape-
Flashlights? Like cordage, ropes. So much rope, so much rope they have. I didn't know that... Just go grab this half of a thing of beef. And then also, there are so many dead bodies. Surround yourselves with dead bodies. Let the sharks chomp on them while you walk right out. You know what? I actually, when I was watching this, because there are so many dead bodies floating by at all times, I actually thought, oh, they're everywhere. And I thought, oh, I guess sharks don't like dead bodies. Like, then...
Then I was like, oh, that's a new fact about sharks. They don't eat dead bodies. Well, they have a moment in it where they're like, I guess they like live bait. And I'm like, I don't think that's part of it. I don't think the sharks are like, I'd like a challenge. Yeah, I don't think that they are that discerning of an eater, considering they're really engulfing it wholesale. I mean, the movie opens up with a very dramatic opening. Two lifeguards are out at the beach. And they, well, yes, one of them is engaged. We'll get to it.
Look into it. A shark basically does what a dolphin might do to a ball and comes up underneath a surfboard or a little sea-doo and pops the lifeguard up in the air. The lifeguard's getting eaten. Our hero comes out to rescue him and then basically creates a hook. He doesn't try to pull him out of the water. He just scoops him up and holds him still for the shark to eat him in half.
At which point, his engagement is over because the person he's going to get married to is like, you're a terrible person. I should not marry you. Well, no, that's his brother-in-law. Well, that's her brother, babe. Well, I know. That's meant to be his best friend and his brother-in-law, but he can't forgive himself. I think she can't forgive him either. We never really know. What I will point out, I'm not sure if everyone saw this who saw the movie, but we cut to 12 months later.
We cut to 12 months later. So this horrible event has happened where a man, a fellow lifeguard has been killed by a shark. And 12 months later, our hero is looking at his bulletin board. Oh, I wrote this. You wrote this down too? And we see a University of Singapore acceptance letter. Oh, I missed that. You didn't see that.
So, and he's posted it to his bulletin board. So I thought, oh, I wonder if every dream really has been deferred because of this event or he's just reminding himself like it's time to go on the fall.
Well, I... No, because she's in Singapore. I know, but he's been accepted. Right, and so he... Now they have broken up. And they're... Again, the movie starts as if it is like a... Like, expansive, you know, town-wide. There's a shark attack. Multiple people are killed. The lifeguards are engaged. It's big. It has scale and scope. And then it's 12 months later, and our hero, who looks an awful lot like Australian Logan from Gilmore Girls... LAUGHTER
Or Carrie from Good Wife. If you know him as Carrie from Good Wife, I know him as both. I prefer to call him Australian Logan from Gilmore Girls. He is now working in a supermarket and the rest of the movie, another...
This movie seems to... This guy is being followed by sharks. They get him at the... Everywhere he works, sharks are like, we're here, bro. We're here. Fuck you. We eat people at your work. Expect us. The sharks have something out for him, but I also want to just follow the travel of his downfall, because on the bulletin board, what I noticed was the article that said...
Lifeguard killed. Not the obituary of his friend, but like the article of the... It's like if you had a friend who was killed, why would you put that up? Well, he was probably mentioned. He was probably mentioned. Okay, yeah, so he likes that. He probably clipped it because he was like, oh, I got mentioned in this article. Oh.
about saving my friend's corpse. And so the downfall we're supposed to see is this lifeguard, his career spirals to just being a supermarket manager, assistant manager. And then a tsunami happens to him. Like, imagine all of the things that happen to this one guy. Wait, wait, wait. Before the tsunami, armed robbery happens in this supermarket. An armed robbery.
How much is happening on that day? How much money are you getting from a supermarket? Not much. They open the safe and it's... These guys have bad information. We heard they got all the banana money in today. We're going to go rob them. And it's Nip Tuck, right? This is Nip Tuck. Yes. I can't remember his name. His name is, to me, Nip Tuck. Okay, so I thought... I have to admit that when the movie started, I thought...
it's a bunch of Australians doing American accents. Right. Okay, and then as it went on, I thought...
it's a bunch of Americans doing Australian accents. It was such a hot spot. I believe it's a little of both. Well, yes. A little bit of both. Because who you're talking about, Nip Tuck, is Julian McMahon, and he is doing an American accent, and I will show you how bad his American accent is here. Is he doing an American accent? Very much so. Well, watch this, and you'll see it. Think about it. You bust your ass in here eight hours a day, seven days a week.
I also think that's 80-yard. I don't think that that's his real voice, but here we go. You'll probably hump away like that for the next 40 years. So whatever way you cut it, this place was going to kill you. Now it's just sooner rather than later. He's having a McConaughey... Later. Like, it's crazy. Sooner than later. Here's the thing, though. I also just really... I had a major issue with this presumption he makes that our grocery store manager is destined to die at the hands of his job. Like...
How dare you? They could. How dare you? You have no idea what this man's dreams are, what kind of hustles he's working on the side, or if he just enjoys the life of a grocery manager. No, most grocery store managers sign a 40-year contract. It's the way it goes. If you want, you got to commit. You got to commit. This movie feels like it's the Final Destination movie. It feels like the sharks were like, we didn't get you in the water. We're coming.
We're coming to where you are now. Like, it's inevitable. Can I say something? We are inevitable. What did you think, though? Here's what I thought was different about this movie. And I will give it...
You'll give it up to this movie? I will give this... Is it that the sharks were the most interesting and compelling characters? No, it was that... I will give this to Bait. There were sharks, plural. Oh, yeah. I really... Yes, I was like, oh, I don't think I've seen a movie like this where we are focused on two different sharks. If that's your biggest takeaway of what makes this movie good... Listen, I...
So cool that this movie had two sharks. And they were so different. An upstairs shark and a downstairs shark. What?
in the car park. What we've got here is we've got an upstairs shark. We also have a downstairs shark, not to brag. And both seeming equally enraged and out for blood. Oh yeah. Well, because they're sharks. But not interested in eating any of the literal hundreds of water-soaked corpses that are floating in both sets of water. Not interested in those. They would like to jump up on top of cars if possible to try and get the dog.

When sharks are there, he's screaming, get out of the water. Get out of the water. Anytime the shark comes closer, get out of the water. Get
He never switches to shark. That's a bad lifeguard. It's almost like you're not allowed to say shark. That would make me move. That would make me move. And I will say in the opening scene of this movie, he is on the beach while his brother, soon to be brother-in-law, is out in the water about to be eaten by a shark. And one of the lifeguards screams, get out of the water, like code something or other. He could not move any slower. Yeah. Well, he's hungover.
Yeah, because it was his engagement party because he is going to be married to this guy's sister. Tina. Let's call her by her name. Thank you. Tina.
Josh and Tina. I'm trying to call her by my name, but that's okay. Josh and Tina, Romeo and Juliet. Oh, star-crossed lovers? Yes, they are. But they try to put so many different people in this supermarket. You have a robber in the supermarket. You have the guy who is like... Maybe you have two. Two. You have two sharks and two criminals. So you're telling me Nip Tuck has never seen his bank robbing partner's face?
That guy only has, because that guy's there the whole time. No, because Nip Tuck, here's what's so crazy, the fact that they put all of this into the movie. Nip Tuck establishes in the car that he is there because he's being blackmailed by the other guy. Oh, I missed that. Am I right? Audience, anyone who saw this movie, thank you. Yes, it's his one last job. We're going to get $150 and then you're out.
You don't owe me anymore. Like, when your one last job is a supermarket, when your one last job is like, I'm telling you, we're going to hit the stop and shop, and then we're out of here. Everything's going to be golden. If we can, we're going to knock over the Osco drug. Then we're going to hit the White Hen Pantry. Well, I do think crime... These are New England specifics.
Crime in this movie is bizarre because there's a girl who steals sunglasses and they treat her like she's stolen thousands of dollars. Like, finally, I gotcha. For supermarket sunglasses? How much is that? And some toiletries. Well, the supermarket, we're so focused, again...
I don't need the tsunami story to be from the point of view of the people who are trapped in this supermarket. I wish we had watched them all die and then pulled out and gone to interesting people. No? Interesting. Nantucket loves this guy. Okay. What you're right about is there's one supermarket worker, I can't remember her name,
She seems to have a story that we never get into. We never saw. I don't know if it was left on the editing room floor, but she ends up with Nip Tuck at the end. Yes, they seem to have a chemistry. Yes, she is used as live bait, but the funniest part, we know nothing about this woman. We see her briefly in the beginning doing her job, restocking, whatever. And the best time to fall in love is during a shark attack. Always. Always.
Always. But my favorite thing was when Nip Tuck asks her, because before the tsunami hits, a woman is murdered in the stop and shop. Yeah. Murdered in cold blood. Killed. Execution style. For the wealth of that supermarket's daily take. And these aren't even Nantucket prices.
It's not like they had to ship all this stuff over to Nantucket and it's at a premium. They're not paying $6 for a bag of chips. Real story. Get it together. My favorite. Grow your own chips.
My favorite thing about this movie is that this poor woman, again, we don't learn a thing about her. We don't know what she likes. We don't know what she dislikes. And then in the middle of the movie, she's on top of one of the aisle things. And our good criminal, Nip Tuck, says, hey, did you know Julie, the woman who was murdered,
And she goes, yeah, but I didn't know her very well. I mean, we weren't friends. It's like, wow, we couldn't even, the movie wouldn't let this poor woman even have a connection. You'd like grieve a friend. Grieve a friend.
She had to be like, you're cute, fuck her. She should be dead. I'm horny and about to die from sharks. So good luck, Julie. Get out of here. From a screenwriting perspective, it's an odd choice. Because it's sort of like, do you know her? No. Or yes. Not kind of. She said, I knew her, but not well. Not well. I mean, I know her face, but I don't know her name. She is.
She has like the cool key chain. I always say, oh, nice key chain. And she's like, oh, thanks. But you know, that's all I know her from. It's such a weird non-decision decision. I would have loved it if everybody who talked about Julie was like, she had a son.
Just like heartbreaking specifics. Like real sad specifics. Because that guy, the creepy guy, the guy who ends up being revealed to be the murderous robber from before, who we think is dead, but he's now been alive with our crew the whole time, he mysteriously doesn't talk for like an hour and 15 minutes of the movie. And then when he does talk, I'm like, oh, this movie has a quint from Jaws? Yeah.
This movie has a straight lunatic in it, and it's this guy and everything he's saying, he's like, sharks are only curious about one thing, if we're food or not. Now that is an Australian accent that you cannot have any problems with. No, it's perfect. Did you do the dialect coaching for the movie? Listen, I worked with the Hemsworths. I'm not going to say which one. All of them. I worked with all the Hemsworths. Chad Hemsworth. The fifth Hemsworth.
I'm trying to get into movies too.
Here's a question. Again, so many questions about the supermarket. You don't even want to go to the car park? I'm not ready to go to the car park. What's going on in the car park is so nuts. Wait, wait. We'll get to the car park. There's a movie happening upstairs and then there's a spoof movie of that movie happening downstairs. I think the downstairs is a spoof movie. It's a scary movie. It's the scary movie to the scream upstairs. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Oh, gosh, the car park. And by the way, everything insane that's happening at the car park before the tsunami hits is happening at, I would say, roughly 10 a.m. So know that people are having sex. People are getting fired. People are pulling out, like, machine guns. Yep.
People are getting ready to stage an armed robbery. And this is all happening in broad daylight. Lots of lights. It's not a dark car park. All I want is the car that they drive that's parked in the car park that does not...
leak at all. They stay in this car like it's an airtight chamber. And they're cutting from the chaos of upstairs into the joke scene that is them in a hermetically sealed car like, babe, what's going on then? And she's like, and it is, it's so crazy in juxtaposition to what's happening upstairs because you are constantly seeing people upstairs get chomped in half.
And in here you have two dumb blondes and a small dog. Like they have a dog who is a very big part of this movie. Are you referring to Bully? Yes. Bully played by three different Pomeranians.
One for swimming, one for barking, and one for running. Oh, my God. I will say, and this is, again, I know you said for people to, when we ask for things to not be said, please don't say it or repeat it. But a lot of parts that I've played have also been played by three Pomeranians. Here's the thing. I really do want to understand where you both net out on Bully's attempted murder.
So there's a scene in this movie, yeah, where this guy, that guy right there, is swimming toward a car holding Bully and the shark is headed toward him and his girlfriend. And he throws Bully toward the shark.
No, away from him. Away from him. Away from him to divert the shark. Yes. Do you think a shark is going to be diverted by a Pomeranian? That's like a steak and an olive. Here's what I'm willing to say. Well, I want to go after the steak. Here's what I'm willing to say. I would have done the same full stop. I would absolutely have thrown the dog as far away from me as possible in hopes that the shark would go after it. Absolutely.
I don't even think the shark registers it. Everybody on this panel is a dog lover. Let's be very clear. Honestly, I would cut the dog open so that it bleeds. I would cut, even if it was my dog and I loved it, I would cut it open to chum the water to distract the 12-foot great white shark that is now inhabiting the parking garage where I live? The movie sets up
The movie posits that this guy now needs to die, must die, because he threw the dog in the water. Well, they try to kill this guy immediately. The first time we meet him, before a parking lot is flooded with water, before they're in death's grip, he takes the dog and just chucks it in the back seat, just like throws that dog in the back, and then writes something...
dirty in a text message at the girl. Like the girl is having, yeah. So the girl is having a text message and he takes her phone and then types in, I guess the equivalent of want to fuck, but he doesn't say it to her. And she's like, Oh, you're dirty. I'm like, but he sent that to someone. Oh, did he? Well, who is she texting? I thought he just wrote it and didn't send it.
I don't know. But also, who cares about any of what, like, I couldn't, again, these are people that should have died immediately.
They still run for a long time. Justice for Bully. I'm glad that Bully makes it out alive, but I would have liked it if in the movie we were with Bully for the whole movie. The character point of view of the dog while the dog watches everybody else foolishly get killed. I will say Bully is a thousand percent the most interesting character in the movie. And the most emotionally realized. If Bully would have killed. And the best performed.
Well, because there's three of them. I mean, now there's only two nip tucks. One that did talking, one that did swimming. The moment, though, where Bully, we realize Bully's actually not dead, even though he's been thrown in the water as chum, and he floats by on, I think, a surfboard. It was the only moment in the movie where I went, I was so relieved and excited and surprised. I was like, that's filmmaking. LAUGHTER
Yep, that's on display here at the Nantucket Film Festival. Filmmaking, that's what we're talking about. Like bait. Question mark? Let's take a look at the dumb blondes. I can't see anything. Just keep calm, babe. We have to get out of this car. I can't stay here much longer. What? You're underwater. Give me your shoes. She's brain scrambled. Excuse me? I need something with a point to break the windscreen. Give me your shoes.
I want to say something that's going to be mean. I want to say something that's mean, but why not? It's...
watching these two, when you shoot a movie, you often have stand-ins, right? They kind of look like the actors in the scenes. And whenever I watched them, I was like, oh, these are the stand-ins for the two other people. For Anna Faris and for Chris Pratt. Yes, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt. This is their...
but when they heard... This is like, go get first team, and they're like, they're not here. They never got on the flight. So we'll just shoot it with these guys. We'll use the stand-ins. No one will know. But here's the thing. The emote...
The emotional reality of this scene is that every person in their life is probably dead from the tsunami. All their family members. Do they even know about the tsunami? Everybody they know. They're under six feet of water. They could have thought it was a water main break. No one knows. They're acting as if they're not, in fact, completely submerged in water. What?
And there is not a leak in the car. They should at the very least be like, this is crazy. This is crazy. What kind of car is this? We're so lucky. By the way, it should be. How is this even possible? It should have been like brand placement. Like Fords are great. They never leak when you're submerged in the water. You would think. But this is a movie where oftentimes you have these moments where you're like, oh, my cell phone's not working. Who are you going to call? Yes.
You're trapped. Yeah, you're trapped. And a tsunami has hit. Oh, yeah. That's it. There's nobody. When they pull back at the end, when they finally, spoiler alert for those who didn't watch it, some of them make it out. When they finally do, the world is decimated. Yeah. And it makes every conversation these morons have had in the upstairs and the downstairs seem absolutely foolish times a million. Yeah.
The tragedy that is before them is staggering. And they don't learn from it. They're like, what does this all mean? It means we get a second chance. What? Ever?
is dead and you're like whoa finally everyone you know is dead yeah like we can find like where is this gonna pay off there is some there's no emotion attached to the world is over they are able to this is what is like wild to me about the movie is there is there's so much opportunity for the surviving people to make general like
make efforts that will help them survive long term, be found, do all sorts of things. They somehow have the resources to create a shark suit. Okay. A shark suit cage around one of the people that is weighted so he can walk on the bottom of the supermarket's flood. Well, Jason, hold on. The shark suit cage is made out of a grocery cart. And we'll show you what this looks like here.
This is some A-team bullshit right here. This is like, this is the A-team. When did they construct this? How long have they been there? This must have taken days to put together. I mean, they have bent it. They have put sponges in to protect his shoulders. If they have the ability to make this, they have the ability to escape, is what I would say.
Yeah, this suit is absolutely insane. And he's going to use this as a diving suit. Yes, they have managed to make it such that he can breathe underwater in a supermarket. Using elements from the supermarket, he's going to breathe underwater. This is...
He's got a diving bell. They've created a diving bell. He has cans of beer attached to his feet to weight him down. Now, here's a flaw. And for those of you who haven't seen the movie, this man dies. This is... This man dies. But why does he die?
Not because he was eaten by a shark. Because he runs out of air. Because he saves the day and then is too heavy to get to the surface. That broke my heart. That broke my heart. He also goes underwater to turn off the power, which is...
Which means he would be electrocuted and dead. Everybody should be electrocuted times a million in the movie. Yes, the water is... If you're turning off a power box underwater, you're going to be electrocuted. It's just so hard because I was also heartbroken that he died. Not that I wanted to be heartbroken, but it was hard. His was the loss that I was like, oh...
Yeah, and also, one of the reasons why he can't get to the air is because there's not a full shopping cart, but one of the half little baskets you bring. Yeah. You know, it's on his head, and he can't get it off. And it was so funny. Because they used zip ties. It was so funny. They zip tied him into a death trap. It was so funny. These people are straight up murderers. They are more inventive than the shark. Now, there's an element of this guy in this movie
that he kind of has to go because he's the new boyfriend of our hero, Australian Logan from Gilmore Girls, his ex-fiance, whose brother died in the opening scene, so now they're estranged. They haven't seen each other in over a year. And so this is her new boyfriend, and so he's got to go. But then before he goes, he says to our hero, don't worry, we never even fucked.
We never even fucked because she can't get over you, so I guess I'll go die now. I'm going to heroically drown having not gotten laid in the last year. Come on, my guy. What is happening? That rocked me. That was... That rocked me. I also don't know why... Don't worry, we never dot, dot, dot, he says. What? What?
I wanted our lead actor to be like, weird. Okay, go. It's like, how do you receive that information? He's like, oh, thank you, brother. Thank you. Also, she did care about him. We saw her care about him. We saw her well up when she realized he was still alive. So then to see her... Well, she's welling up because she's like, damn it. I'm stuck with this guy now.
Josh? Yeah. Well, she wants to get back with her old flame. And she's like, oh, this guy's alive. I thought I had a new start. That's why these people are psychotic. They're like, oh, finally, the world is over so I can just have a new start. What's crazy is new boyfriend, her new boyfriend, they have this whole idea they're going to do where they're going to figure out how to distract the shark and then somebody's going to go and turn off the power. And he says, I have an idea. It
It's his idea to create the underwater walking suit, which is not a good idea. It leads to his death, to be clear. So it's a bad idea. That being said...
He's the character that I want to survive the most. The most, me too. Everybody else who died, I was like, yeah, get the fuck out of here. But him, I was like, oh man, I like this guy. Again, I want to go back to the good nip-tuck guy. Good nip-tuck villain is seemingly like, I don't know how he got involved, why he needs a last job. We don't know what his crimes are. Doesn't at one point he say that guy's clean? I thought at one point he was the,
the older brother of our hero, Josh. Wow. I thought, no, he's the father. I don't think so. No, he wasn't. The policeman is the father of the shoplifter. That's true. But it seemed like whatever he had done in the past that he was being blackmailed for was connected to someone in the grocery store.
Okay, someone says yes. But I don't know that that... Oh, I love that we're trying to figure this out. But I don't know that that's... When we figure it out, it's going to be unsatisfying. All I'll say is this, though. For a guy who is clean, for a guy who is...
being on the straight and narrow, he has no trouble putting a giant hook through another man's body and using him as bait. Now, I understand that guy is bad, but that's a, again, these people are more inventive in brutality. Oh, this is after he has harpooned that man. Yes. He's able to.
He's able... Once again, they are on the top... This movie is all about parkour. They're all on the top of... This entire supermarket has flooded completely up until the very top of the... They're on the top of the freezers or the aisle ends. And we all know that grocery supermarkets have about 25 foot ceilings. So this is fine. So they have all...
only what's accessible at the top of the supermarket, freezers and stuff like that, but they are able to construct the shark suit. He's able to construct a full harpoon with a chef's knife and then he just chucks it at the bad guy and it goes away with him. He never has that harpoon again. Everything they're able to build, again, A-team style.
is incredible and then completely tossed away as if like, well, it didn't matter anyway. Like if you told me the movie took place over two full weeks, I would believe you. Right. Rather than I think the movie thinks it takes place in like 24 hours. I was going to say the movie takes place in about 87 minutes.
also, I am, I mean, we already brought this up, but I am starting to really wonder why this supermarket sells so much rope. Yes! So much rope. So much rope. They have cordage beyond, they have all the cordage they need. Yeah, it was like there was a survival aisle. Like, here's dairy, here's meat, here's frozen stuff. Well, that's Australia. I was gonna say, that's just Australia. I think it's where there's rope in every supermarket and tasers can electrocute a 12-foot great white shark.
He takes a police-issue regular taser and just kills a shark with it. Absolutely not. No. There's no way that single taser is able to destroy a full shark. No way. Come on. That's like, unless the Australian, it's like this is their version of the Crocodile Dundee. That's not a knife. I'll show you a knife. That's not a taser. This is a taser. I know...
I know I'm really stuck on the two sharks of it all and the upstairs, downstairs of it all, but I did really wish... Do you think it is upstairs, downstairs? Do you think it's the aristocracy shark is upstairs and the servant shark is downstairs? Well, the servant shark goes first. The valet, the shark valet. I did wonder, like, oh, a better... This is my only note for the movie, otherwise it was perfect. Otherwise flawless. No notes. No notes.
I wish those two sharks had met each other. Yeah, had met each other at one point. Wow, this is crazy, right? We're just like swimming in the ocean and now we're like trapped in a supermarket. Weird, right? What are they going to talk about? I think the big sharks are like, we need to get out of here. Oh no, why would they? They are feast.
At no point does anybody say, like, I don't think they're coming after us because they're full. They've eaten so many of us now. Well, here's the other thing. I understand in a tsunami, the water falls.
Flies in, right? Rushes out first. Okay, rushes out. It goes all the way out and then kaboom. And by the way, we never find out what happens to the surfer who ran out as the water's receding. Right. Who is like awesome. Is he okay? Dead. Who is like stoked. What an indictment of Australian surf culture. But the idea being like the- Oh, cool, tsunami? Let's go. Let's go.
The water would come out, but why is the water trapped in a supermarket that's not underground? I understand the car park. The water should have just receded. You think it should have receded back right away? Yeah. Well, from the upstairs. From the first floor. Yeah, from the upstairs. Absolutely.
Okay, so here's another thing that's happening. So many stakes. There's criminals. There's a lot going on even after the tsunami. One of the things that they set up and never pay off is that actually the water is rising. Yes. So I thought, oh, for sure this is going to be the ticking clock of the movie that they need to get out of there before the water tick, tick, tick goes up. Totally.
It never does. No, and that only seems to matter to them when the rising water may hit the exposed electrical current. Which, by the way, if there has been a tsunami, the grid is down.
Yeah. I suspect the grid is down. There has been a tsunami that has conservatively killed millions. From based on those last shots, Australia is done. Dunzo. I want to show you this. It's over. RIP every Hemsworth. Dunzo. Goodbye.

Toyota, let's go places. Hear that? That's what cooked when you order juicy beef sounds like. The steaming hug of two slices of melted cheese, the crunch of tangy pickles and sliced onions, all topped with a toasted sesame seed bun. That's the sound of a McDonald's quarter pounder with cheese. First Beef at participating U.S. McDonald's. Excludes Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories.
Let's go to the audience, see if the audience has any questions. People who have seen the movie... Can I ask you a question before we go to the audience? Yeah, please. When the shark, when the upstairs shark is swimming around, for a period of time, does it have a baby on its head?
No. There's something on its head. It's a woman. It's a woman. And it's a woman I believe we clocked in the grocery store. Yeah, she was an extra. Is it like a hood ornament or is it like fuzzy dice in a mirror for a shark? For a while it seemed like I kept seeing what I thought was a baby swimming around. And I was like, oh, that's fucked up. But okay, this movie's pretty grisly. No, it does seem like the shark is wearing her. That's what I mean. Yeah. Almost like the shark is like, trust me, I'm a baby. Yeah.
Because I thought they were going to be like, oh my God, we've got to save that baby, only to get chomped by the shark. Because this seems to me to be such a smart move on the shark's part. I like when the shark put on the fake mustache and the monocle. It's like, oh, I'm just a shopper too. These deals are fantastic.
More rope, please. All right, let's go to the crowd. If you've seen the movie, you have a question you want us to talk about or something that we haven't talked about, raise your hand. I'll come to you. All right, yeah. What thought do you have about the movie? What's your name? I am Thomas. Thomas, all right. What are you thinking? Do you have a question, a comment? Am I the only one who was a little bit disappointed that that sultry narration from Josh in the trailer didn't permeate the entire film like a Paul Schrader film or something? Oh, God.
Gosh, I didn't hear it. I didn't hear the trailer. Yeah, he kind of talks about, you know, just forgiveness and shark attacks. I like that. I like that. And I love, by the way, only a film festival audience for a How Did This Get Made taping mentions a Paul Schrader reference. Like it's a, wouldn't it be, didn't you just want this to be like a Paul Schrader movie? I would have loved it.
would have loved it if it was like a Paul Schrader movie but unfortunately we'll never get that our lives are nightmares full of Schrader-less nonsense like this all right your name Annie and what's your question my question is not one but two of the actresses in this film were from a very important Australian teen drama H2O Just Add Water and
H2O, just add water, but that is water, right? Wait, so add water to water?
Two of the actresses in the film were teenage girls turned mermaids in H2O Just Add Water. Okay. In which both the blonde from the car park and the shoplifter turned into mermaids whenever they accessed water. Wait a minute. Wait, whoa, whoa. I'm going to stop you right there. Whenever they accessed water? What do you mean? Like if they were brushing their teeth, they turn into a mermaid? No, no. To say take a bath.
or to go to a teen party. Okay, when you say take a bath so long, how many bath shots are there in this show asking for a friend? I would say a shockingly large number of bath shots. Large number of bath shots. I would imagine that's the best way to access water is bath. Yes. How much better would this movie be if not one but two of these characters whenever they got in the water would turn into mermaids?
All right, so the question is, and it was a long way to get there. Thank you. A long way to get there. But would this movie be better with mermaids considering... Would this movie be better if it was in the H2O Just Add Water universe? Just Add Water universe.
Is the question, right? If they were their same characters, so we're able to turn into mermaids. By the way, I'll give you $1 million to make a movie, filmmakers, that is mermaids versus sharks. Never seen it. That's a great movie. You know what I don't need? That's a great movie. You know what I don't need? Apex predators in my supermarket. You know what I do want? Ariel fighting sharks. Fuck yes.
Shark Tale meets Little Mermaid. I'm ready for it. Okay. Yes, sir. Your name and your question. Adam Dredd, and I may be old, but I could not tell any of the teenage protagonist males apart. You know what? This is an issue that I had, too. I was also confused by the two main dudes. Because upstairs and downstairs, our upstairs hero and our downstairs hero were both...
equally unappealing. Well, but also, I'm talking about the two upstairs. They had nothing coming off them. They had nothing going on behind the eyes. There was no difference and they gave us nothing. So it was really hard to tell them apart.
I like it when people have a mustache or a shaved head because then I go, that's that person. But I felt like this movie, there were two young guys in the top, right? I think we were being told over and over that our downstairs hero was a nerd. Yeah. He's getting bullied. He's getting bullied, but he didn't seem like it.
Like a nerd? Freak boy. Are they calling him freak boy? Yeah, like history boy. I don't know what they were calling him. I couldn't quite figure it out, but I agree. And I think that we all had, it's not about being old. I believe this is a general white guy blindness. I couldn't. To the whole movie. Everybody looked the same. And that's why there's multiple Hemsworths. We don't know. Maybe there's one. Maybe they're not even related. It's true. You never know which one you're getting.
I also have to say, so many of the men had moments of heroics and were throwing themselves toward the sharks and trying to do the best they could to protect the crew, the most unappealing crew you ever did imagine, where you did want these people to die. I was rooting for the sharks. I know, but they only gave one woman one moment. Yeah. And it was really like, there's so many women here. Can one of them try? Yeah.
Oh yeah, no, only Jessie. Only Jessie has like, Jessie, right? She's the shop with Jamie. Sorry. I'm part of the problem. I didn't even remember her name. Yes, you are. All right, your name, your question. My name is Michael. And if we take this movie on a serious note. Okay, everybody, Michael wants us. Hang on. If everybody could fucking, I know we're having fun. Michael wants us to take this part very seriously. If you take this movie as a cautionary tale.
And here we are in Nantucket, and if that tsunami were to hit right now and come through this room, I can't help thinking about the guy in the cage now. What do you know? I want to know how the three of you would react. Good question. Oh, great. Great news. I would die instantly. I am not strong in the water.
So I would die so quick. I think I would be done-zo pretty quick. I think I could do okay if it was a mountain situation. Water, though, it's over for your guy. I'm like, glug, glug, glug, goodbye. And here I am, and I'm looking around, and I'm like, those lights at the casino, that's all rope for me. I'm taking all that down. I'm swinging over. I'm going up. There is a lot of climbable space I'm noticing. Yes. And I'm very strong in the water. I could swim for a while. I'd be okay.
And I would feed every single one of you to the sharks, whether you were living or dead, and I would do it without a second, like, I wouldn't give it a second thought. I'd be like, Nantucket film festival goers. Yes, these are gold ticket havers. Feed them to the sharks. I... I carry... Except for anybody who bought Paul's book. You guys can be cool. Thank you so much.
I carry a Pomeranian in my bag at all times for moments like that, just for bait. Just to toss it aside and be like, go after that. All right, your name and your question. Yes, I'm Philip. So there is a very strange detail early on in the film that I'm wondering if it has broader implications for how we're supposed to interpret the film. But I'm wondering if in the first few minutes of the film, whether you noticed...
the hangover cure that the brother-in-law brought to the main character. Did you guys notice that? Of course. Yeah, sure. The mason jar with like plant life at the bottom. With like algae in it or something. I'm 90% sure there were tiny little fish spits
floating around and swimming in it? It did seem like the hangover cure was like, yes. It was like a mason jar full of ocean water and algae, yes. I've got a theory. Well, I've got a theory. Is it a Jacob's Ladder scenario? He's got a theory. He's got a theory about what was in it. If it's a Jacob's Ladder scenario, I'm going to be pissed off. No, he's got a theory. Here we go. Okay, maybe there is a psychoactive substance...
And the rest of the film is an abstract, dare I say, David Lynchian-esque exploration of the commitment of marriage. What Eraserhead does for the anxiety surrounding parenthood, this movie does for the anxiety surrounding marriage.
Wow, what a way to get a Jacob's Ladder scenario out. For you, this movie exists in a world in which his greatest fear is getting married.
And I like that. And the rest of it is like, oh, yeah, I would so much rather than get married. I would rather watch everyone be eaten by sharks. All right. Let's see, sir. Your name, your question. Thanks. My name, my name is Scott. I'm not necessarily speaking from experience, but I don't believe you can be arrested for shoplifting if you put things in your jacket and then go into the back of the store and sexually assault one of the associates. Well, but what about in Australia? Yeah.
Yes. Are you an expert in Australian law? In Massachusetts, I believe that is not the law. Oh, in Massachusetts, you can do whatever the fuck you want. I think what you're saying, though, is right. You can't be called for shoplifting until you leave the premises. Right? You could have intent. Well, no, no, no. I'm sorry, though. If you see people pocketing stuff, you can pull them. They don't have to exit the store.
store, do they? A lot of times I don't have a little basket. And I also don't worry about how I know this too, but you have to exit the store because it's not considered theft because you haven't left. Right. Okay. You're just carrying it in a different, like some people have a little... So sorry, so sorry. If I can just get a quick show of hands. What's up? Who's been detained for shoplifting in this audience? The gentleman who asked the question. So it's Scott, am I right? It's Scott and June? Scott, June, and someone over there who's foolishly honest. No, no, no.
I have not been detained. I just happen to know my rights. Wow. Everybody, know your rights about shoplifting. Teach your children well. All right, so we went to the audience. Now, obviously, we have opinions about this movie. There's a lot to say about this movie, but there are other people out there with a different opinion. It is now time for Second Opinions. Hi, my name is Lori. Hi.
This movie is doing something that I can't explain. Everyone is wet and they all look. Every chomp of the jaw. There's another floating arm. Sharks in the store. That is what we are. Groceries in between. Honey dog. My five star review is up.
What a strange episode of Nip and Tuck. We wish all these Australians good luck. Amazing. Wow. Yes. Imagine the bravery that took to sing in front of you. Great job.
So these are second opinions. These are five-star reviews from Amazon. Okay, there are 2,000... These are real. Yes. If you don't know the show, these are real. These are 2,084 total reviews, okay, and 62% of those reviews are five-star reviews. The average rating, 4.2 out of 5. What?!
The first one comes from Manish. Written in 2021. From who? Manish. Okay. Or Manish. I looked at probably Manish, not Manish. I learn, you learn, we all learn. Here we go. We've all seen Jaws, but this movie has much more to it.
It has story, emotions, characters, everything stitched together so well. Outstanding effects. This movie is more than just a shark attack movie. Title, more than just a shark attack movie. Five stars. Well, there. This one here is from Sam. Sam's review written in... Our son. Our son. Written in 2013. 2013.
I bought this movie out of boredom, and I was surprised how good it was. This is what you would call a well-polished upper. Wait a minute. I don't call anything a well-polished upper. It's a well-polished upper. Quote, unquote, a well-polished upper? You got your comedies, your dramas, your well-polished uppers, your indie movies. You got them all. It could have been an... I want to watch a movie. What do you want to watch? Something that's like a well-polished upper? Yeah.
It could have been an A-list. Not a filthy downer? It could have been an A-list film if the CGI effects were higher quality. However, the special effects were passable. The storyline is great, and the actors all performed to A-list levels. The sets, wardrobe, and props were very good.
Overall, the movie is well done. And there's no dry or dull areas in this movie. It's a rare classic. It's not just another shark movie. Don't rent it. Buy it. This feels like it's from the filmmakers. Remember, this movie takes place in Australia, so everyone has accents. In closing... Do they? Do they?
Because it's rare to come across a well-polished, well-made upper that almost made an A-list. Wait a minute, they use it again? I give it a five-star rating, and the title, this movie is actually damn good. Five stars. Wow, that's chilling. Raphael R. LeTan writes this in 2018. This is why I refuse to swim in the ocean. I won't do it.
I'm toothsome. I just know it. Second, this is fun. First of all, because it's not one of those irritating things where only two loved birds survive. They're all pretty darn clever about how they deal with the shark problem. They even manage to have a few funny spots. But hey, not all the comic relief has a happy ending. Fun movie! Title, this is fun. First of all, five stars.
This is not a movie that should make you refuse to swim in the ocean. It should make you not go to the supermarket. What does toothsome mean? I don't know. Can we get a definition on toothsome from a nerd? Chewy? Chewy. Scott, front row Scott, says chewy. I won't do it. Shoplifter Scott. I'm chewy. Al Dente, says Scott, in the front row. Why? Oh, because he's chewy. You're with this guy? This is your guy? Get out of there. Toothsome Scott?
He's too chewy is the reason why he won't go swimming in the ocean. Any closing thoughts? Anything that we didn't cover that you want to cover? Boy, oh boy. We didn't need any of the first act.
We didn't need any of the lifeguards. We didn't need any of the... Like, it's enough that there's two sharks in the supermarket. Again, a sentence that is in and of itself completely bananas. Well, I think you're right. This is a supermarket movie full of sharks. It didn't seem... It didn't seem like our main guy had a vengeance against sharks. They seem to have a vengeance against him. I know, but he has had this terrible experience with a shark before.
And you never felt like he was there for payback. So this is his healing journey. He needs to be healed from the shark attack on the beach. Because he was supposed to be. By killing the sharks in the supermarket. Yeah.
Despite only earning $800,000 in its home country of Australia, Bait 3D was a sizable success overseas, made $24 million in China alone, made $2 million in Italy. Italy loves Bait. As a result of its success, they announced the film would receive a sequel...
All right? So we'll be here next year, right here at the casino. Bay 2. You're welcome, Nantucket. It is an important message for indie filmmakers. Like, if you're looking to get your film financed, throw a shark in it. Yeah. Even if it's on what you consider dry land. Throw a shark in it. Now, I'll tell you this. This is the premise. Just a routine flight, one that's carrying the world's most vicious... Hang on a second. You said flight.
So you're going to put sharks in a plane? I love where this is going, Paul. Please continue. It's just a routine flight, one that is carrying the world's most vicious merchant of death and an assassin who will stop at nothing to ensure that his target is eliminated. Routine flight.
Until the plane goes down in the middle of the ocean, as a downed aircraft takes on water with every passing second, the surviving passengers and crew must face terror beyond reckoning. Their plane is on the brink of toppling into a bottomless abyss. Not only will the killers stop at nothing to secure their personal survival, but the rapidly disintegrating airplane has been infiltrated by... Sharks. The deadliest natural-born killers on Earth. Sharks. Who does it star? Sharks.
Gerard Butler. Please say Gerard Butler. Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley. And Ben SBK? That sounds amazing. They were shooting in New Zealand. Many scenes. And then Malaysia Flight 370 happened. What? What?
And they said no. And they shut down production on deep water because of that. So here we are at the Nantucket Film Festival. You guys, we need to get this back on track.
This is important cinema. And Rennie Harlan was directing it. Incredible. So this was a movie that really did take off. Like the second one was going to be huge. What year was this movie? 2012. That was happening in 2014. The writer of this, it was written by this guy, John Kim. And they brought in Duncan Kennedy to help write. And Duncan Kennedy's credits are deep.
Deep Blue Sea 3, Deep Blue Sea 2, and Deep Blue Sea 1. So they brought in the man of the hour to add some more shark specifics. Deep Blue Sea movies that have sharks in them. Yes. And this was directed by the director of All the Highlanders. And Teen Wolf on MTV. There can be only one. Would you recommend this movie? Yes. Okay.
This is something to see. It's something to see. Would you recommend it in 3D? Only in 3D. I would recommend it. Yeah, no, this is nuts. This is straight crazy. In a way that inexplicably we've now done a number of bad shark movies. This is one of the better of them. It is. It should be, and I think it is a well-polished upper, but I think it should...
It should have been more of a schlocky movie. I think it would be more fun schlocky. I'm sorry, isn't Adderall a well-polished upper? Like, what is this?
Oh my gosh. I did enjoy it. I did watch it on 1.25 speed, which just gives it a little bit more speed as we're getting through it. Wow, that's going to make it a well-polished upper. That seems chaotic to the limit. I can't even understand watching this movie at a faster speed. Yeah. Because so much is happening so quickly. But you know what? I do think you're right. This is one to watch.
And honestly, if nothing more than to help your cognitive skills to be able to tell different teens apart. Oh, no. It is like the gentleman said back there. Everybody in this movie looks like everybody else. It is inexplicable who's who, who's bad, who's good. The movie's doing you no favors except for like the hunky lead who is, again, I only recognize because he looks so much like Logan from Gilmore Girls. My least favorite Rory boyfriend.
Just so you know, Nantucket, in case you're wondering, of course I like Jess. Of course I like Jess. But also, Rory shouldn't end up with Jess either. She should have an adult relationship with an adult person, not based on who she dates in high school. We've gone too far off track. Ladies and gentlemen, that is our show. I want to thank you all for being with us tonight.
Holy cow, folks. That's a wrap on Bait. And that's also a wrap on our 350th movie episode. Holy cow. 350 movies. I think June has remembered seven of them. I just want to give a big shout out to the Nantucket Film Festival for bringing us out there. Donna Carey taking care of us. We had the best time. And honestly,
I want to just say we did that show for an audience of people who I would say 30% knew why they were there. 70% did not. 70% did not see the movie and they were still on board. And that's the power of
of Nantucket. I mean, they are there. Uh, just a huge shout out to Jared O'Connell ventured out to Nantucket to record that show. And I also want to say thank you to everybody in Nantucket who actually bought my book. We sold out of my book in Nantucket, which is amazing. And I have to say, I've been blown away by the reviews that everyone has been leaving on Goodreads and Amazon. Please keep them coming. It really, really helps the book. And if you like the book, tell your friends about it, uh, pass it on. And, uh,
