The Black Lagoon

Brace yourself as we dive into Dalton’s bold and unexpected new take on another Universal classic, simply titled: The Black Lagoon. What are the essential ingredients to an aquatic creature feature? What’s the difference between art and pop? How does one escape the shadow of The Shape of Water? Those answers and more in the latest chapter in our ongoing Dark Universe. 

Plus, a major announcement: Dylan & Dalton are launching a Patreon! Please consider joining their Discord and supporting their new creative podcast, Are You Afraid of Dylan & Dalton? Find more details towards the end of this episode, or at patreon.com/dylananddalton

Our partner podcast for this episode is What Mad Universe?!?, a podcast about genre pulp and the origins of SF and fantasy! Every two weeks we read a book or book series, suggested by either Adam Prosser or Philip Rice, the hosts, and look at its place in pop culture history.
