"Whale Rider" is a New Zealand film about a Māori girl who wants to become the chief of the tribe. (00:06:52) Walter prepares a multiple choice game for Swade to play related to the dinner interruptions in Luis Buñuel's " The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" which you can play too.(00:20:13) After Swade finishes introducing "Whale Rider", Swade shares how the film scared him as a child which Walter does not relate to. Both of them discuss how childhood fears or the lack of built their character as they grew up. (00:40:10)   Walter feels "Whale Rider" is a very clean film and that makes it hard for the film to answer its big question but Swade thinks Walter is being an armchair philosopher.(01:06:10)  Swade feels the main character from "Whale Rider" reminds him of Yotusba from the manga "Yotsubato!" and thinks the film is a great example of why slice of life is comfortable to him. (01:17:17) Walter wants to clarify about Swade's disgusts with whales and it leads to a more Twitter shenanigans.
