In this podcast we are looking back at the Summer of 95 to talk about the Tony Scott-directed Crimson Tide. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about what makes this movie so immersive and compelling, how an intersection between performance, writing and production design may be the key to its magic and how Tony Scott flawlessly found balance between authenticity and preposterousness. We also talk about how Quentin Tarantino touched up the script and what his work added to the experience, how some actors in this movie wouldn’t have passed the physical fitness test to be on a submarine and how taking a tiny dog on a military mission is just unsanitary. And of course, we also weigh in on the central conflict in the film and try to find out who was right in the end, the gung-ho captain or the by-the-book XO.
