This episode is as packed and chaotic as the movie itself, due to Abi and Freda being exhausted from bootlegging and Freda being in an crisis of science faith. Anyways, we finally get to discuss Oceangate. Also, offshore drilling hab(itats), underwater nuclear testing and breathing liquid oxygen strongly features. Finally, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio never felt the need to shorten her name.
