Underwater Scenes Movie Draft (w/ Jean-Pierre Boudreaux)

There is nothing quite like a scene that happens underwater. One of my favorites comes from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou when Steve and the rest of his crew have a transcendent moment encountering the infamous Jaguar Shark that ruined Steve’s life. In this episode we explore other such scenes with a draft of underwater scenes in movies. We took somewhat different approaches to this draft to very fun results!

We're gonna move now into our movie draft segment.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:14:27.012)
Hmm. Long live the side reverse.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:14:35.446)
All right, I'm ready. I spent like half an hour putting together a list and I, cause I was like, I wanna have some ready to go that aren't like the popular ones just in case, so.

Eli Price (02:14:44.265)
Yes, I love it.

Eli Price (02:14:50.812)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So this is going to be an interesting one. I think this is going to be the most like strange one we've done so far. The other ones have been pretty like typical. So but yeah, so today just kind of along the same theme as covering the life aquatic with Steve's issue, we're going to do a draft of movies with significant scenes that occur underwater. So.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:14:58.028)
Yeah.

Eli Price (02:15:20.808)
It can be a movie that's completely or mostly or a lot underwater, or it can be a movie where there's just a sequence that's, you know, means something significant that happens underwater or anything in between. So that's kind of what we're drafting. You know, I don't want to give any examples because, you know, we might give away things that we want to draft, but you'll you'll pick up on what we're what we're putting down once we get going. So.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:15:42.123)
Right, right.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:15:46.978)
Hmm.

Eli Price (02:15:50.984)
JP, you're the guest, so I'm gonna let you pick first. This always comes back to bite me, but you know.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:15:53.426)
Man, do I need to like give a little explanation after what I pick? Let people know what it's about? All right. I'm just going to say, the ones that I really want to choose from, if you don't choose from, there's going to be a bit of a theme here. But my first choice is going to be the movie Underwater from 2020, starring Kristen Stewart and a bunch of other people.

Eli Price (02:16:02.224)
A quick one, a quick one.

Eli Price (02:16:11.861)
Okay, I like it.

Eli Price (02:16:21.084)
Nice, okay. Yeah, yeah, I never saw that.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:16:22.018)
Uh, it's there. They are researchers on like this like deep sea research facility and, uh, you know, uh, chaos ensues. Just a little, little, little, little monster action. Uh, it's, uh, it's, it's a good time. It's a good time. It's, it's like one of those movies where like, you know, I expected it to be like, okay, but it actually was like pretty good. It's, it's a fun movie. Highly recommend.

Eli Price (02:16:33.121)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (02:16:51.872)
Yeah, yeah, so I'm envisioning like a lot of like intense like kind of like clencher butt cheek sequences where there's something happening, but and because you're underwater, it's like super stressful.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:16:57.644)
Yeah.

Well, yeah, like, like it's, you know, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a little sci-fi ass cause there's like a sequence where they have to like cross the ocean floor in these suits and it's pitch black. So as you can imagine it, it's, it's definitely got some clinch in of the cheeks.

Eli Price (02:17:08.804)
Okay.

Eli Price (02:17:12.6)
Gotcha, yeah. Right. Yes. Yeah, and I like Kristen Stewart. She gets a bad rap, I think, sometimes from Twilight, but she's a good actress. Right.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:17:20.962)
So does Robert Pattinson, like people don't understand that he's actually like a phenomenal actor. So, go watch Good Time by the Safdie Brothers and then come back to me.

Eli Price (02:17:28.494)
Oh yeah.

Yes, yes. You know, I would say go watch the lighthouse, but that's kind of like, if you dare, go watch the lighthouse, if you dare. It's intense. Yeah. But yeah, so I I'm coming in and I have a list of movies, but I don't have them like in any sort of order. And so I'm coming in like, man, what do I need to pick first? But I'm going I'm going to start off just like.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:17:38.031)
That's a rough one.

Eli Price (02:17:59.744)
I don't know if this is something you're familiar with or interested in. Typically, I try to, you know, you want to try to draft things so that the other person doesn't get to get them. But I'm going to go completely like off the wall here, and I'm going to make my first pick Ponyo, which is, yeah, it's a Hayao Miyazaki film, Japanese, you know, it's it's an anime movie in a sense.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:18:13.302)
Okay. Okay.

Eli Price (02:18:28.94)
in the sense that it's a Japanese animated film. But yeah, Miyazaki, movies like Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro, which are great. But Ponyo, I love Ponyo. And I think the reason I'm choosing it here is just because I love the way he animates the ocean. It gives you a similar magical vibe that the underwater scenes in Steve's Asu give.

Like, it's just when you go underwater in that movie and to give people a reference point, it's almost like it's kind of like a Little Mermaid esque kind of story where you have this character, Ponyo, who's a fish and becomes a human and befriends like a human kid. Like they're both kids. And you know, they're it's it's Little Mermaid esque in that way.

Not in the it's not the typical little mermaid story, but it has those vibes to it. But yeah, so it just the way he animates the underwater seems just like when I saw this movie and we went underwater, I was just smiling because it was so fun and it was so like interesting to look at. And yeah, so I'm going with Ponyo. Great movie. And you can watch.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:19:45.709)
Mm-hmm.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:19:53.484)
Okay.

Eli Price (02:19:58.912)
You can watch it with subtitles in Japanese or you can watch all these Miyazaki movies are dubbed too. And the dubs are generally actually pretty decent dubbed films.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:20:07.478)
Yeah, my rule is if I'm watching live action, I'll watch it subbed, at least for the first time. If I'm watching animated, I'll watch it dubbed. I know it's a very hot take, but dub over sub every day when it comes to anime.

Eli Price (02:20:16.784)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, and.

Okay. Yeah. And I would even recommend like if you're getting into like Miyazaki animated movies for the first time, like because the dubs are actually pretty good generally. And his movies are so visual like visually stunning. I would recommend like going dub so you can pay attention to what's going on on the screen more. Yeah, but yeah, Ponyo is my first choice.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:20:38.679)
Mm-hmm.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:20:47.998)
Okay, okay. So my second pick, again, because it's like, I want to like, because I'm approaching this is like movies that I actually like have seen, I really enjoy. I'm not really worried about like, what who the viewers are going to think has the better team, so to speak. Number two for me is going to be The Cave from 2005. Okay, so this is a movie I saw like

Eli Price (02:20:49.844)
We're gonna draft five each by the way for the listeners. We already know that but.

Eli Price (02:21:03.074)
Uh huh, yeah.

Eli Price (02:21:16.197)
I don't even think I know this movie.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:21:17.218)
forever ago and I recently rewatched it and I was like, surprisingly, I still love it. It's about a group of cave divers that find this cave underneath this like old, like church chapel and they go down and chaos ensues, a little bit of monster action. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Eli Price (02:21:39.128)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (02:21:44.664)
Okay, so it's like a horror thriller kind of movie? Yeah.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:21:44.99)
Yeah, it's fun. It's fun. It's like PG-13. It's not too crazy. And I feel like it's got a bit of a higher budget. It's one of those movies where I actually was looking it up the director, it's the only movie they've ever made. Because it was like a critical and commercial failure. But as a fan of monster movies, it's a good time. It's a good time.

Yeah, they're cave, yeah, yeah, sorry. They're like, yeah, they're like, there's a lot of scenes of them in the water, or the fact that they're inside of this cave network has lots of play into it. I will say, it was hard to like, I'm like, does it have to be on underwater or on the water? Does that count? But I'm trying to stick to underwater. So yeah, there's a lot of sequences of them having to like, they have to, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of sequences in diving.

Eli Price (02:22:08.233)
And they go underwater, I assume, in this cave.

Eli Price (02:22:22.328)
Yeah.

Eli Price (02:22:31.464)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, definitely it has to be underwater at some.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:22:36.566)
you know, inside of the cave. So.

Eli Price (02:22:40.96)
Yeah, yeah, that works. Okay, well, I'm going to go with a movie. My second pick, I have some other ones that I probably like more than this, but I'm gonna go ahead and pick this one because I really like the scene that's underwater. And it's funny, you mentioned the original version of this earlier, Casino Royale, the Daniel Craig version. I can't remember the year it released, but it's the most recent, you know.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:23:00.247)
Mmm.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:23:05.139)
Gun 6.

Eli Price (02:23:09.888)
Yeah, 2006 most recent Bond series with Daniel Craig is the first one. And the reason I'm picking this one is because, you know, spoiler alert, if you. I'm not giving spoiler alerts every time I spoil a movie. Sorry.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:23:13.475)
So good.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:23:19.65)
been out since 2006 y'all. You can't you can't give a spoiler alert for a movie that's like over a decade old you know it's like if you haven't seen it that's on you.

Eli Price (02:23:31.14)
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's on you. But there's a scene at the very end. The reason I love it is because it's the first time you get every other introduction to every other bond. He's just like suave, does everything well, like, you know, he's just in charge. Right. And yeah, always saves the day, always gets the girl. And in this one, you have that that scene at the end.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:23:49.106)
Always say it today, always gets the girl.

Eli Price (02:24:00.908)
where he's underwater, he's trying to save the girl, she's stuck in a cage underwater, and he can't save the girl. And the response is just like this purely vulnerable emotion of like, just like despair and rage that you get from Daniel Craig underwater. And it's just an introduction to Bond that I thought was like, I'm not a huge fan of Bond in general. Like I've watched

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:24:14.594)
Mm-hmm.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:24:25.074)
I love to do these porn films.

Eli Price (02:24:30.124)
I've watched the old ones and they just don't do it for me, but the Craig series I love. And I think part of it is just because you get this, you get such a vulnerable introduction to him in this film and it all culminates in that underwater scene with him.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:24:39.585)
Yeah.

Also, she like, she like lets herself drown too. Like that's the other part of it too, is that like, is, yeah, all around, that's phenomenal scene, great pic. I wish I would have thought of that.

Eli Price (02:24:49.408)
Yeah. Yeah.

Eli Price (02:24:55.796)
Yeah, so I'm going Casino Royale for that scene. Yeah.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:24:56.394)
Man. All right. All right. Number three.

Gonna go with Deep Blue Sea, 1999. One of the greats. You've never seen Deep Blue Sea? Oh dude, it's a classic. Thomas Jane is in it. LL Cool J, Samuel L. Jackson, very infamous scene of Samuel L. Jackson getting killed by a horrifically CGI rendered shark. It is 1999. Yeah, it's so.

Eli Price (02:25:10.508)
I think it's another one I don't know.

Eli Price (02:25:15.161)
I don't think so.

Eli Price (02:25:21.397)
Okay.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:25:32.546)
Hey, I told you I love I love monster movies. What can I say? Uh, yeah, I know this one They have this kind of ocean research facility and they are trying to create a cure for Alzheimer's Which they are doing by injecting Certain things into these Mako sharks and they're basically using the Mako shark brain to like test the chemical but it causes them to become hyper intelligent and some things happen and they end up

Eli Price (02:25:33.556)
Yeah, I'm seeing your I'm seeing your running theme with these monsters

Eli Price (02:25:56.621)
Yeah.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:26:02.07)
basically being able to get into the facility and it slowly starts filling up with water and you know you got you got like three hyper intelligent genetically modified mako sharks and a bunch of people and uh chaos ensues so it's great it's it is such a i'll give you one really fun fact about it is that there is a character in the movie like the lead female scientist who earned her character name and

Eli Price (02:26:21.456)
I love it.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:26:31.158)
But originally, this character survives the movie. And test audiences hated this character so much. Every single comment was like, you need to kill her. Why does she live? They had some more colorful things to say that I'm not going to say here. And so they actually reshot the ending to allow her to die because everyone felt so strongly about it. And when you watch the movie, you'll get a sense of why. But yeah, it's just a fun time. It's just a great, great.

Eli Price (02:26:57.422)
That's awesome.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:27:00.618)
like classic, like, you know, 90s monster film. So, yeah.

Eli Price (02:27:08.32)
Yeah, I dig it. That's awesome. Yeah, so I'm going with this one. The reason I'm going with this movie is there's there's only like one small little like part where they're underwater that I can think of. But it was my favorite movie last year and I just loved it so much. So I wanted to take this chance to highlight it. It's after Sun. It's a movie. It actually got

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:27:29.09)
Hmm.

Eli Price (02:27:37.584)
Paul Mescal got nominated for supporting actor. Yeah, it's a it's a first feature film by a director named Charlotte Wells. It's great. It's about it's kind of like this. It's about this girl and her dad on this vacation, and it's you you kind of realize like fairly early on that you're kind of seeing it. It's a memory.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:27:38.517)
Mm-hmm. I've heard a lot of good things about it, having gone around and seen it.

Eli Price (02:28:06.808)
Like it's her older and she's thinking back and watching these old tapes, like home video tapes of her and her dad on this like, kind of like a vacation where they last like had a strong relationship you get the sense of and her kind of reflecting on that and what it means. And there's this scene where they're underwater. You see them and they have those underwater cameras

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:28:18.998)
Mm-hmm.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:28:33.806)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (02:28:37.42)
You know kids these days, I don't know if they are gonna understand this but those little they're basically They're basically Like disposable cameras, but they were underwater versions Yeah They had those back in the day They were like full like a ton of them in the little surf shops at the beach You know in in beach towns, but um, but yeah, so yeah, they're in the pool like underwater taking pictures of each other

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:28:46.76)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:28:56.023)
Right.

still see those Walmart sometimes.

Eli Price (02:29:07.008)
And it just kind of gives you, it just kind of highlights that nostalgia of her looking back, but also like it kind of like, is that, you know, almost metaphor of like capturing the moment, like trying to remember that moment sort of thing. So yeah, very, it's a very short little sequence of underwater. So, you know, I'm sneaking it in here, but I just love the movie that I wanted to highlight it here after Sun.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:29:31.35)
Okay, okay. All right, all right, all right. So number four, and this is super relevant because the trailer for the sequel just dropped and I'm very excited. I'm gonna go with The Meg from 2018. The Jason Statham Absolute Powerhouse. This movie, it's interesting to me. I feel like...

Eli Price (02:29:46.594)
All right.

Eli Price (02:29:50.058)
Meg, this one I do know but I haven't seen.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:29:58.126)
people didn't really like it as much as they should, they could have because it's like a very, it's like a US Chinese production. As someone who watches like a lot of foreign films, like I can kind of pick up on it, but it's definitely has some of that awkwardness that like watching a Chinese film can have sometimes. But it was just, man, it's so much fun. Jason Statham gets to fight a Megalodon. I mean, what more do you want? And the sequel looks,

Eli Price (02:30:07.909)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (02:30:20.548)
Yeah.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:30:27.266)
bigger and more ridiculous in the best way. So, yeah.

Eli Price (02:30:28.481)
Yeah, it's awesome.

Eli Price (02:30:33.492)
Yeah, I've heard that this is actually secretly pretty good. Like it doesn't have good ratings at all. But.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:30:34.122)
It's really solid. It's just a, it's, I mean, it's a, it's a dumb movie, but like, it's just, it's just a fun time. Like, it's literally like, it's a turn your brain off, pop some popcorn, and have a good time watching Jason, Jason Statham fight a megalodon. You know, it's good.

Eli Price (02:30:43.33)
Yeah, sure.

Eli Price (02:30:58.016)
Yes. Yeah. So that's awesome. My fourth pick here is going to be anytime I get the chance. I'm pretty sure I've picked that I picked this movie for a different draft a couple of episodes ago. But any time I get the chance to draft it for any reason, I'm going to because I love Paddington, too. It's such a great movie. But there's a scene, you know, where.

Paddington is stuck in a car and he's needing to be rescued, of course. And it's Sally Hawkins' character who plays Mrs. Brown, goes and saves him. And yeah, I just love Paddington too. That's a good sequence. It's a good little rescue sequence.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:31:53.506)
I've not seen either, but I know a lot of people unironically say like they're some of the best movies ever made. Like unironically they have like 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, both of them. Not that I like take Rotten Tomatoes scores that seriously.

Eli Price (02:31:54.904)
But have you seen the Paddington movies?

Eli Price (02:32:03.276)
Oh yeah, it's not ironic, I love them.

Eli Price (02:32:08.969)
Yes.

Eli Price (02:32:12.664)
But yeah, Paddington, it's funny, Paddington 2 is actually like it has a very Wes Anderson feel to it. Not so much in like the humor necessarily, but in the way it's shot, it kind of has that Wes Anderson kind of detail and color to it. So yeah, Paddington 2 has a great is a great movie and has a great little underwater scene. So alright, where are you going? Number five. Last pick.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:32:14.806)
Mm-hmm.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:32:37.104)
Oh man.

Eli Price (02:32:41.588)
I'm expecting another, I'm gonna be disappointed if it's not another monster.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:32:41.874)
You know, I'm looking at my... I honestly, like I said, I made a list. I have some of the more popular ones on here just so I can have them on hand. But I'm like, like I said, I'm just making a list of movies that I like where a lot of it's like underwater or whatever.

Eli Price (02:32:54.18)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (02:33:00.168)
Yeah. Well, you know, part of this is like people are going to hear things and be like, oh, I might be interested in that. Go check it out.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:33:00.822)
Yeah, yeah. Okay, I'm stuck between two, but one of them is pretty popular. So the other one I'll go with, my last pick, I'm going to go with the Shallows for 2016. Blake Lively is a surfer stuck on a rock after she had a bit of an accident while surfing. And there is a whale carcass not too far from her that has attracted a great white shark.

Eli Price (02:33:17.433)
Okay.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:33:29.922)
and she's stuck on this rock in the middle of this little lagoon in the shallow area. Everyone's left the beach and she basically has to figure out how to survive. Super satisfying movie. Firstly, it's like one of those movies where she makes a lot of really smart decisions and you always, you gotta love in a movie, especially like a quote-unquote horror thriller, although it's like not really scary at all.

Eli Price (02:33:41.328)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (02:33:52.888)
Mm-hmm.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:33:58.746)
Which you gotta love when like a character makes smart decisions, especially a female lead character Who's like a very obviously very attractive person like there's like certain assumptions about oh, you know she's gonna be really dumb, but yeah, it makes a lot of really smart decisions and It's just one of the movies. That's just super satisfying like the ending and everything and Yeah, it's it's a good time. Also. It's I can't remember how to pronounce his name but it's the director of this film was the same guy who's like

He's like worked with The Rock on a lot of stuff, like he directed Black Adam. And this movie is like steps and bounds, better direction than Black Adam or any of those other recent, like, uh, you know, like I think he did like rampage or whatever, but, uh, just really solid, like a really, like one person, one location, they have a problem they need to solve how to get to the beach without getting attacked by the shark cause she has like a cut, she's bleeding, so the sharks are attracted to her as well. Um.

Eli Price (02:34:32.726)
Okay.

Eli Price (02:34:46.05)
Yeah.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:34:55.886)
And yeah, it's just a fun, it's like 90 minutes, just a super solid like popcorn thriller and just a satisfying watch. So there you go, there you go. Didn't leave you disappointed. My other option was gonna be Pacific Rim, but I was like, that one's too popular, people know that. I'm gonna go with Pacific Rim.

Eli Price (02:34:57.017)
Yeah.

Eli Price (02:35:09.324)
Yeah, I love it.

awesome.

Okay. Yeah. So, I mean, I've got to tell you, I love that you went with the monster theme and stuck with it, but you're like, I feel like I've got this one in the bag as far as like a poll afterwards goes. But who who cares? You know, you're getting.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:35:28.163)
I mean, I feel like literally, I feel like literally all of mine except for maybe the Meg or Deep Blue Sea people are like, I've never even heard of that movie. So it's all good. It's all good.

Eli Price (02:35:39.996)
Yeah. Yeah. So so I could, you know, I could go that easy. Like I have a couple that like are obvious and like I do love like especially Jaws. I love Jaws. I think it's like a way more like important and like powerful movie than like meets the eye. And yeah, for for one that but just like thematically, I think it's it's.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:35:57.706)
I mean, it literally created the summer blockbuster.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:36:04.974)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (02:36:08.716)
You know, I think it's a metaphor for like America and like the problems with our country. But anyways, we're not going to get into that. You know, I could go into I could go with Nemo. Nemo is obvious. It's it's a good movie. I like Nemo a lot, but I'm not going to go with Jaws or Nemo, which, by the way, my first pick, Ponyo, the animation for underwater is much more fun than Nemo and much more beautiful. So.

Go check out Ponyo. But I'm gonna go with one that maybe less people have seen just because I think I've already got this one in the bag. And I'm gonna highlight one of my favorite movies from 2020 or 2021. Can't even remember in the moment, The Green Knight. Have you seen The Green Knight?

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:36:54.722)
Mm-mm. No, man, again, it's one of those ones that was on my list and it was in theaters for two weeks and just did not have a chance to go see it.

Eli Price (02:37:03.498)
Yeah.

Eli Price (02:37:08.372)
Yeah, so it's by David Lowry, stars Dev Patel, who's just fantastic in it. And its bass is actually like kind of adapted from this like really, really old English poem. Right. Sir Gwaine and the Green Knight. Exactly. And so, yeah, so it's there's it's a it's a poem. It's really.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:37:21.07)
I'd start going into the green night, I believe.

Something like that.

Eli Price (02:37:37.204)
Yeah, there's a lot of lore behind it, but the movie is fantastic. It's visually just like incredible. But yeah, he's basically it's a it's a typical sort of like, you know, chiv chivalric journey, night's journey kind of movie where it's like episodic. So he has these the he has like a quest he's going on. But along the way, you have these kind of like episodes where he has to like

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:37:51.522)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (02:38:06.604)
Um, you know, he's basically like proving his virtue in this way with this episode and this way with this episode. Um, but actually like not proving it because it's kind of like a twist on that sort of tail. But yeah, and one of them, there's this like ghosts like woman who, uh, like his task, I guess you would say in that scene is like, he has to retrieve her head. And, um, it's like.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:38:30.19)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (02:38:35.348)
Underwater so he has to obviously it's kind of like one of the more spooky scenes But yeah, it's it's it's a really good sequence and the movie just is so very good I loved that movie So yeah, the green night is my last choice again, like partly because it does have a good underwater scene, but also because I wanted to highlight a really good movie, so

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:38:50.292)
Okay.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:38:58.562)
Well, if I would have known, I could have gone with movies that only had one scene underwater.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:39:06.478)
I'm just, yeah, I don't know. I mean, you know what? I feel good about My List. I'm sticking with it. Like monster movies are like one of my guilty pleasure genres, so I will watch just about anything, monster movie-wise.

Eli Price (02:39:08.568)
Hey, I told you, I told you that.

Eli Price (02:39:18.158)
Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, there's really not a ton of movies totally underwater except for maybe monster movies. But yeah.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:39:25.866)
And it's also like there's not a whole lot of movies that like you said, like are, well, yeah, I guess you kind of said the same thing, but not only are a lot of movies, like they don't really make a lot of movies about things underwater, except for monster films or like some kind of creature from the deep. And I think it's because like the ocean is still such a mysterious place. So it really does work.

Eli Price (02:39:41.872)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (02:39:49.529)
Yeah.

Yeah, so that's our draft. I'll read them back. JP got underwater, the cave, deep blue sea, the megh, and the shallows with his monster theme. And I went with Ponyo, Casino Royale, Aftersun, Paddington 2, and the Green Knights. And these are, that was our draft for movies that are underwater and have under, yes, underwater scenes. Yeah, that was fun.

Jean-Pierre Boudreaux (02:40:12.746)
the duality of man.

Eli Price (02:40:22.212)
That was a fun one. I will say, you know, I don't, I think I've got that one in the bag when I put the poll up, but who cares? You got, you took your movies and they're fun, so. Yeah,
