Pirates Of The Caribbean Minute

Rain on your wedding day is nothing compared to disrupting a soon-to-be bride’s wedding night. Get this woman some pirate action, immediately! Join us for minute 30 of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest as we discuss the mother of all bombs – tragic love, one-sided love, and misdirection. In this episode we tackle Cutler Beckett’s response to Elizabeth Swann after she say’s he disrupted her wedding night (a marriage interrupted or fate intervenes), take another look at the lighting’s use of warm and cool colors to demonstrate the upper hand, examine the use of sound, and hypothesize about a better movie that eliminates a Captain Jack Sparrow and Lord Cutler Beckett coincidence in favor of a more favorable plot structure.

You know you’ve overstepped your bounds when you go digging around Lord Cutler Beckett’s box. Let the euphemisms fly as we discuss minute 29 of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Join us for the latest episode as we discuss Beckett’s growing frustration with everyone wrongly assuming what he desires, the meaning of “currency is the currency of the realm” and the growing trend of replacing old school loyalty (a loyal servant of the British crown), Elizabeth Swann as the main pirate in the movie and perhaps the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise, ask the question if Elizabeth should have shot Beckett, celebrate the incredible use of lighting to demonstrate who has the upper hand, highlight our favorite lines from the week in our recurring segment Really Bad Eggs, and remind everyone that on Monday we switch our schedule to 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) to eliminate the hiatus between seasons and keep the show going all year long.

A magic carriage ride and a coat of drably colors are the only elements you need to pull off one hell of a prison escape.

We can’t keep our eyes off those heaving parallels and ample misdirections as we tackle minute 27 of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.

It’s never polite to point out the eunuch or stare at a man’s compass, but hey, this is Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Join us for the latest episode where we discuss Captain Jack Sparrow’s fascination with eunuchs, a bit of eunuch history, we revisit the Lord Cutler Beckett castration conspiracy theory, wonder if Jack’s reaction to Will Turner is about the compass or Elizabeth Swann facing the gallows, the fact that Jack cannot escape without help, the two scary cannibals as the stuff of nightmares, Jack’s belt, and the Pelegostos’ language – a unique language developed by Carla Meyer and Professor Peter Ladefogend.

Everyone wants to enjoy a succulent Chinese meal with the personification of evil and cannibals wearing shoes. It’s business as usual on the Caribbean island of Pelegosto on minute 25 of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Join us for this episode where we discuss Will Turner stealing the scene from a painted Chief Jack Sparrow, compare the similarities between the structure and formula of Dead Man’s Chest and Curse of the Black Pearl, explore Jack Sparrow’s multiple introductions and the notion that Jack as Chief is a better character introduction than his coffin escape from the Turkish prison, the movie’s ability to inspire a scene in Thor Ragnarok, the origin of Jack Sparrow’s line “and then they made me their chief” from Curse of the Black Pearl, the intricate details of the Pelegostos’ village, history of the real Carib (Kalinago) indigenous people, the Christopher Columbus origin of Dominica, a shoe-based movie mistake, Pirate Word of the Week, and we announce a schedule change in which the show

Join us for minute 16 of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest as we examine Bootstrap Bill Turner’s almost untimely death, his no-win choice to engage the service of Davy Jones, the Kobayashi Maru, his disgusting hermit crab eating habitats, the drunk guy conversation scenario, and Captain Jack Sparrow’s deal with Davy Jones.

Let’s ring in the new year with some fresh seafood and a bottle of rum. Unfortunately, our main course, Bootstrap Bill Turner, is on the fishy side. Join us for this episode of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest as we cover minute 15…a minute pulled straight from the depths of Davy Jones’ Locker. Today we go all out in our Tragedy of Bootstrap Bill discussion from his downtrodden character elements, mannerisms and dilemmas, the symbolism of his sealife encrustation, and spreading germs to Captain Jack Sparrow with a crusty rum bottle. We also hit a few movie references including Minority Report, Total Recall, Harry Potter and A.I., examine Jack’s shock at the Bootstrap revelation given the supernatural nature of the Pirates of the Caribbean universe, and link Jack’s neck cracking to his possible future with Davy Jones.

The ocean is full of surprises and nothing rivals that king of predators, the great white shark, like a handful of killer barnacles. Join us for minute 14 of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest as we get our first look at Bootstrap Bill Turner. This episode brings our initial reactions to Will Turner’s father, Bootstrap, a bit of character backstory, and a look at set decoration, cinematography, and lighting – the latter of which is symbolic of Captain Jack Sparrow’s internal turmoil as represented by the compass. Additionally, we wallow in accidental euphemisms, identify the scene that connects The Curse of the Black Pearl to Dead Man’s Chest, end the week with our recurring segment Really Bad Eggs, and meet the real-life Bootstrap and his truly frightening encounter with barnacles found in an episode of Animal Planet’s Monsters Inside Me.

Join us for minute 13 of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest as we finally admit that the rum is indeed always gone. In this episode we talk Pirates of the Caribbean snacks, callbacks to The Curse of the Black Pearl, and art direction and set details that lead us to explore the pirate history of graphite, hour glasses, teddy bears, and the altering of ships to fit the needs of pirates like Bartholomew Roberts, Edward England, and Edward Lowther.

Join us for this historical episode as we take a discuss letters of marque from the 18th century to the 21st century, including the claim that the Goodyear blimps Resolute and Volunteer operated as a privateers during World War II, have fun with background fisherman, and deep dive into Pirates of the Caribbean symbolism regarding Lord Cutler Beckett’s claim that the world is shrinking – noting the clock, disappearing edges on the map, an improved Port Royal, an expanding East India Company, and that being employed by England as a privateer is not what Captain Jack Sparrow views as freedom.
