Crimson Tide (1995): Gene Hackman, Pizza Dogs, and Submarine Mutiny Protocols

  • Summary

  • aka The One Where We Accidentally Launch Over Silver Surfer Trivia

    This week on Rewind or Die, we dive periscope-first into Tony Scott’s Crimson Tide (1995)—a high-stakes submarine thriller starring Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, and a dog named Snaps who might outrank the entire Navy.

    We break down:

    • Gene Hackman’s morally complex pizza distribution methods
    • Denzel’s command presence and perfect posture
    • Silver Surfer trivia that almost starts World War III
    • Hans Zimmer’s monk-chant soundtrack that slaps like a Gregorian war hymn
    • And the top 3 submarine movies, including a VERY serious defense of Down Periscope

    Plus: fake Happy Meal toys, Tarantino’s secret script rewrites, and the dog gets his own action figure.

    Stick around for the Enemy of the State preview, the box office breakdown, and Steve trying to convince us that Welcome to Mooseport deserves a Criterion release.

    Subscribe now for chaotic deep dives into the movies you remember, kind of, from basic cable—and find out why Snaps the Dog is the hero America needed in 1995.
