Description: This being the perfect post-apocalyptic fantasy movie for Swords and Satire - complete with a prophecy, legends, class struggle, and bodily excretions - we wondered, why did it do so poorly when it was first released? Check out the episode to discover our potentially controversial conclusion, and our hot takes on the people of Waterworld, including who we would really be rooting for. We also explain what fuels post-apocalyptic stories, for those of you who had a burning desire to know that. So yeah, you’re welcome. (intro skit sounds are from Zapsplat.com)
