EVERY FILM NAMED in the commentary for The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Commentary by Wes Anderson and co-writer Noah Baumbach. Read the extensive notes for context.

*as the name Jacques Cousteau was bleeped throughout the commentary, I suppose we shouldn’t talk about him here.

**these goofballs recorded this commentary at the restaurant where they wrote the film. While the restaurant was open. And serving.
