CRIMSON TIDE (with Nick Iarriccio)

Denzel Washington vs. Gene Hackman on a nuclear submarine. We continue our series “Mic on Fire,” our deep dive into the films of Denzel Washington, and break down Tony Scott’s ‘Crimson Tide’ (1995) with special guest Nick Iarriccio of Movie Knights.

We get into the Denzel and Hackman battle of wills, the legendary script doctoring by Robert Towne, Quentin Tarantino and Steven Zaillian, Tony Scott’s colored lighting, Hans Zimmer’s football-ready score, Viggo Mortensen’s pivotal turn, and the Steve Zahn flooding scene. Plus, our accolade categories, fun tangents, and more!
