It’s a Wes month. This time we discuss his 2004 film The Life Aquatic which tells the story of sailor/asshole Steve Zissou as he tries to reignite his career and connect with his son. The boys talk about redemption arcs, beautiful shots, and how Wes Anderson has matured through his movies.

Wait, Swaim's voice in the opening bit is supposed to be frustrated? I genuinely thought he was doing "constipated" until now

I take Ned’s death as Steve having permanently blown an opportunity for meaningful connection. Recontextualizes his earlier pettiness and hesitance as stupid folly (which also primes him for the final shark encounter)
