About this episode
On Episode 119 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve, Skye and Bill Scurry discuss a film that’s been high on the list of films that they’ve most wanted to dedicate an episode to since the podcast began. The one big stumbling block that was preventing them from doing so was it’s lack of availability on any kind of modern HD format, having never even had a release on Blu-Ray. But fortunately it was given a shiny new 4K upgrade earlier this year for its 35th anniversary. That film is of course The Abyss, James Cameron’s 1989 underwater science fiction thriller that got a significantly bulked up rerelease in 1993 in the form of the considerably longer and undeniably better Special Edition. As well as their usual in-depth analysis of the film, they take the deep dive into the making of The Abyss, a film whose production was one of the most ambitious and frankly arduous ever attempted.
