10 years after Max Rockatansky walked into the sunset at the end of Beyond Thunderdome Kevin Costner stepped onto the big screen and urinated into a cup, introducing movie-going audiences to Waterworld. Despite its big ambitions, and equally big budget, the movie failed to wow critics, but 25 years after its release we hope to give the film its due by watching it h2o-minutes at a time.

With a sip from the still and a spit for his lime tree, we see the face of our protagonist, The Mariner, but a sudden snag on the trawling line signals time for action. Gathering his materials and setting his timer, The Mariner dives into the water leaving us to marvel at the many features of his Trimaran as time passes until the timer runs out and trips the mechanical winch to start turning.

The Mariner surfaces from his deep dive with new treasures in hand, but before he can make an accounting of his plunder He realizes that a Drifter has found him. The Drifter is quick to say that he did not board the Trimaran, but his eagerness to leave has The Mariner on edge. He has seen the Drifter’s boat before but he does not recognize the man who now captains the vessel.

The Mariner offers to trade with The Drifter in accordance with “the code” but The Drifter refuses, citing his recent visit to an Atoll eight days east of their current position. The exchange is cut short when The Mariner spots some Smokers in the distance. The Drifter raises his sail to make a run for it but makes the mistake of revealing that he’s stolen The Mariner’s limes.
Special Guest: Cassadilla

Faced with the possibility of losing his bounty to bloodthirsty pirates, The Mariner steers his Trimaran into danger and snatches the float bag long before the smokers can get close to it. Treasures in hand, The Mariner turns his sights on the lime-stealing drifter and with a swift strike from his port-side span cleaves the smaller boat’s mast in two, leaving the thief to his gruesome fate.
