Doomed fishing boat cabin ambience — We’re back at the movies this week, spending an entire night searching for a great white on the Orca. The engine idles, the waves splut and gurgle, a tracking buoy bleeps in the waters just outside… (Ambience was inspired by the cabin conversation about scars and past traumas).
That’s right, we are off the coast of Amity Island and smack in the middle of the No Country for Old Men of fish movies: Jaws.
I wouldn’t want to run into either film’s villains in some fictional back alley. But at least Anton Chigurh’s methodical carnage was contained in realistic modern depravity and Texas. Bruce did his murders amongst the frolicking salt water taffy set on the Mackinac of Massachusetts: Martha’s Vineyard.
But don’t worry — Bruce and Anton are not in this episode (nor are John Williams, Richard Dreyfus, and Mr. “SmileYouSunavaBitch”).
In this episode, we are expanding the background interior cabin and outdoor sounds of the Orca (from around the chat about scars).
It will be you alone on an idle little ship, waiting for a shark.
Also, thank you, Kyle, for the Jaws suggestion — the original episode photo by Daniel Torobekov on Pexels.
