Sweeney: We often talk on Snark Squad Pod about how something “lives in our feelings” which is mostly our phrase for talking about something after we’ve had some distance from it. For this podcast, we are typically watching these movies the night before or morning of, so if there’s no nostalgia factor, there’s also no shelf life on those feelings. Because of shitty quarantine mental health, we pushed this recording back a bit and so I wound up watching it twice and for reasons I struggled to articulate in this week’s episode, watching this movie twice and letting it live in my feelings gave me a much stronger opinion than I expect Next Day Nicole would have had.
That’s a big wind-up for a small episode spoiler to say that: while not everyone agreed, I came down unexpectedly hard in favor of this movie. Hear all of our hot takes on this movie about an alien gas bubble (yes that’s right) and a human wind surfer (indeed, you read correctly) who go from enemies to stepsisters & friends:

Nicole is the co-captain of Snark Squad and these days she spends most of her time editing podcasts. She spends too much time on Twitter and very occasionally vlogs and blogs. In her day job she's a producer, editor, director, and sometimes host of educational YouTube channels. She loves travel, maps, panda gifs, and semicolons. Writing biographies stresses her out; she crowd sourced this one years ago and has been using a version of it ever since. She would like to thank Twitter for their help.
