Pop quiz hotshot: Name a movie from the late 90s involving lots of deaths on a huge ship in the middle of the ocean.

No, this is not Titanic! Why settle for Leonardo DiCaprio when you can have Treat Williams? Kate Winslet? Try Famke Jansson! Falling into a propeller and then freezing in the icy waters? How about getting half-digested by a monstrous tentacled creature?

But was Deep Rising any good? Andrew and Tim dive in to those murky waters to find out. Full scream ahead!

In 1999, David E Kelley, the star writer who had brought the world (at that time) Picket Fences, Chicago Hope, The Practice and Ally McBeal, said - "I can do more than write TV shows about quirky lawyers and doctors... I can write movies about quirky cops, quirky palaeontologists and giant (presumably quirky) crocodiles."

And so he did, bringing Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman, Oliver Platt and Brendan Gleeson along for the ride. Even Betty White dropped in.

But could he replicate his TV magic touch in the cinema, in a genre he had not previously written (and does not appear to have attempted since)?

Tim and Andrew found out the hard way.

WARNING: SPOILERS

Tim and Andrew watch 1998's Snake Eyes.

Directed by Brian de Palma on a hot streak, Snake Eyes was ambitious and highly anticipated.

Showy camerawork? Tick. Nicolas Cage overacting? Tick. Gary Sinise scowling? Tick.

Following on from Carlito's Way and Mission Impossible, has de Palma locked in his third great movie in a row? Or is this a portent of the doom that would follow with Mission to Mars? Listen and find out!
