Episode 50 Notes
The novel Moby-Dick; or, The Whale was published in 1851. We can’t stop talking about it.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) prominently featured whales
The second email that I read was about “whale tale” NOT “white tail”. That makes a lot more sense.
In the Heart of the Sea opens wide in the USA on December 11, 2015
