'Waterworld'- Fishy Men, Tattooed Babies & Urine Filled Beginnings ๐๐ ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
In our new series 'CULT ๐๐ป or CRAP ๐ฉ?!" the culture queens explore the dodgy and delightful films which exist on the periphery of our cultural consciousness, determining whether they deserve the lofty term 'cult classic' ๐๐ป or are merely a big ol' steamy mess. ๐ฉ
And what better film to start our scintillating series than Kevin Reynold's 1995 'Waterworld'! ๐๐ ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ From a bold urine filled opener, ๐ฝ to the confusion of tattooing a baby and putting it in a basket of dirt ๐ผ๐ป(?!), the culture queens get into the ocean filled confusion of this questionable cult classic.
Asking that most bold and wavy of questions - did that guy's mum sleep with a fish? ๐ ๐
