S2 E2 • The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)

“I've never seen so many electric jellyfish in all my life!"

In this episode, the lads don their red beanies, pour themselves a coconut-based rum cocktail, and sail into the dreamy, offbeat waters of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou soundtrack.

From Bowie in Portuguese, to the contents of Mark Mothersbaugh’s sonic toolbox; chocked full of whimsical synths, eclectic bossa nova, folk, and other oceanic oddities - it all makes Dave and Tom feel like melancholy deep-sea explorers, or at least very stylish ones.

Expect bad accents, slurred speech (that'll be the seasickness/tins) ,existential musings, and an attempt to answer the ultimate question: Does every Wes Anderson protagonist secretly own a yacht?

We listened to this soundtrack through a mix of Spotify and YouTube.
