Oliver Tate, the existential protagonist in Richard Ayoade’s directorial debut, “Submarine,” wonders what is inside of everybody after stumbling upon an encyclopedia entry on ultrasound. “We’re all traveling under the radar undetected, and no one can do a thing about it,” he states. “Submarine” flew under the radar itself, however, now streaming on Netflix, the
