# Episode #408 – Waterworld, with Todd Vaziri

Special effects WIZARD [Todd Vaziri](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0891445/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_3_nm_5_q_todd%2520vaz) joins us to discuss a flop so EPIC it had multiple nicknames about how it was a flop (but still has some pretty great special effects). That’s right, we’re discussing 1995’s infamous bomb: [Waterworld](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114898/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_q_waterword)! And don’t worry, fans of more recent bad movie discussion — next episode we leap Back to the Present with a discussion of Mafia Mamma.
