EPISODE 465: Another Dolphins Moment
Summary
Andrew and Ben record a solo episode of Boonta Vista after Lucy is away and Theo fails to join via a Steam Deck. They discuss Ben's FOMO over missing whale watching in Harvey Bay and reflect on the ocean's vastness through a new David Attenborough documentary. The conversation shifts to film, covering the movie Underwater, the upcoming Digger, and the intangible joy of low-budget B-movies. They also analyze a study on astronaut constipation and debate the absurdity of 3D-printed replacement parts versus direct manufacturer support.
