Under Paris is a French-language action-horror movie that debuted last week to 41 million viewers, stealing the #1 spot from Godzilla: Minus One. It tells the story of a scientist with a tragic past attempting to convince authorities that there is a killer shark, Lilith, on the loose in Seine River on the eve of the Olympic games.

Patrick and Dan also go into detail on their favorite shark movies. Towards the end of the episode, they also debut a new segment called Physical Media Showcase where they show off their newest physical media buys from 4K movies to vinyls to comic books.
