Saturday Night Freak Show

Holly turns to the life aquatic with this week's pick of Waterworld (1995), the notoriously expensive Kevin Costner spectacle. Here, he plays a half-man/half-fish mutant loner who lives on a flooded, futuristic Earth, pursued by evil Smokers (literally - they smoke at least a pack and a half a day) while ferrying his charges - a woman and the mysterious child she cares for - in search of a mythical place called Dryland. Listen as we contemplate the egos involved in the creation of the movie, fashions in a world without leather, ecology-minded message movies, and Sean gets lost down a hole in this week's exciting episode!
