Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Real Talk, a movie podcast, where we want to be your go-to source for ratings and recommendations of past and present films.

I am your host, Wes Jones, podcasting from Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Hey, this is Tommy, podcasting straight from Nashville, Tennessee.

The movie buddy Conway podcasting from Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Welcome back, Real Talk audience.

Wow, what a shark week.

I'm still catching my breath.

What about you guys?

How are you, Tommy?

Man, it's been quite a ride uh shark week was amazing um I went into shark week not liking sharks I went out

loving sharks so it's been a great week Gabe you might have convinced me I'm now a shark

week fan what Wes how are you feeling well i feel a little worn down

a little little bit up i got crazy amount of downloads coming at me i've got shark hats i'm just

been thrown into a world i'm not familiar with well and what i feel good about it and also west we've

changed our name we're now shark talk the shark podcast But you know what? I feel good about it. And also, as we've changed our name, we're now Shark Talk, the Shark Podcast. So, you know. That's true, audience. I better get our social media update. Exactly. That is true, audience. I think we've converted both of them. And I'm glad we were able to extend Shark Week. I want to thank the audience for making the Shark Week episode, the fastest downloaded

episode we've had yet.

And I do want to thank the audience participation because they voted for the Meg.

And we've got a pretty special treat today because we actually reviewed the Meg on our

last podcast.

The guest, I'm excited to announce, is Steve Alton.

And Steve Alton, if you don't know who he is, he's a New York Times bestselling author of the Meg series.

He wrote the Meg that became the Meg the movie, which grossed over $500 million.
