Waterworld
from Tentpole Trauma · host Tentpole Trauma
By the mid 90s Kevin Costner was riding high as both a leading man and director, so the idea that he should headline (and largely ghost direct) a big budget post apocalyptic blockbuster seemed a fail-safe proposition. But after a high profile shoot plagued with problems and cost overruns the film was released to tepid box office receipts and a merciless drubbing from critics who mocked Costner’s hubris and cruelly dubbed the film “Fishtar”, preordaining it as one of the most massive filmic failures of all time. But does it truly deserve this reputation? Join Sebastian, Chris and Troy as they reel in the big one and plumb the murky depths of the legendary Waterworld.
