Matinee Manatees

This month we're watching another collaboration by the Kevins Reynolds and Costner with 1995's Waterworld!  Also featuring the triumphant return of Dennis Hopper and the podcast's first appearance of Jeanne Tripplehorn and Tina Majorino.  The most expensive movie ever made at the time of its release, Waterworld was widely considered a flop but actually did make its budget back eventually, and poses many thought provoking questions, such as: Is there weather in the future?  Can we breathe through fish?  Why is pee easier to purify than salt water?  How are cigarettes made?  What makes a man a fish?  Where does water come from?  What is water?  And so on!   Sam sets out to design two new video games, Ben says "piss" about a hundred times, both accidentally reveal how little they know about sailing, and a generally good time is had by all.  Float along with us? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matinee-manatees/support
