Guest Appearance: Please Watch This EP 54 – The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou

I had the pleasure of joining Hugh Dempsey and Sam Blakeley on their show Please Watch This. Each week one of the hosts presents a movie to the other that the other person hasn’t seen. They discuss the movie then the first time watcher decides if they would recommend it or not to other people. I brought The Life Aquatic on as my movie, one that Hugh had never seen before and I had to state my case for it. Luckily Hugh loved it and heartily recommended it!

Episode 54. Sam, Hugh and special guest Dakota Arsenault dive back into the ocean blue with Bill Murray in the Wes Anderson movie The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. Will Hugh love the film so much that he will join an intrepid ocean going crew in search of adventure? Or was he so bored that he hoped a jaguar shark would chew him up so he didn’t have to watch the whole film? Find out this and much more on Please Watch This!!
