Over Troubled Waters

Over Troubled Waters is the fourth mini-episode of the podcast. It was released on October 14th, 2016.

Synopsis
Bertie takes time out of his busy schedule to discuss a rom com that never made it to theaters.

Plot Summary
Roger asks Bertie to give the traffic report, but Bertie is conflicted, as Etta says that if he's only going to give the report he might as well not even bother. Bertie folds, and tells a story Etta suggested.

He tells the story of the final scene of Over Troubled Waters, a rom-com about a couple that meets on a tour of the Transcontinental Bridge, but live on opposite ends of it.

The movie was doomed from the start. It was filmed after the disappearance of the Transcontinental Hotel, the shutdown of Aqualand, and numerous watchtower shutdowns. It was a strange idea to decide to film a movie on The Bridge. There was a hope that the movie would bring in more tourists.

The filming was plagued with smaller strange occurrences; audio and video 'errors' and the like, culminating into an event on day 10 of shooting, where they found a statue of the lead actress, Laura Fremont, made out of painted styrofoam.

It was something the bridge itself had made, or rather had made Laura into.

Most people refuse to believe that she turned into a statue, and think she's still out there somewhere, so they refused to take the statue back to her home. Bertie proclaims that he put her with his roses, so she would have something nice to look at, in case she were somehow still alive and aware.
