Black Pearl Show: Pirates of the Caribbean

It’s minute 23 of The Curse of the Black Pearl and it’s time for a frank discussion on Jack’s unnatural relationship with his tricorn, leather hat. We also explore the dichotomy between Will Turner and Jack Sparrow, an Easter egg that leads to nowhere, and how Will heard that the Norrington was looking for a pirate plus is desire to make the capture. Join us for this episode of Pirates of the Caribbean Minute as we play guess the ending to Jack’s sentence!

Animals, blacksmiths, really bad eggs, and 18th century handcuffs. In this episode, we remember our second favorite Disneyland rides as kids, dive into animal actors, their trainers and movie magic, briefly explore the evolution of handcuffs, and discuss our favorite lines over the last 5 minutes. Join us for this episode of minute 22 of The Curse of the Black Pearl on Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

Join us for minute 21 of The Curse of the Black Pearl as we laugh and cross our fingers that a trained Royal Marine who is blindly waving and shooting his musket does not hit any civilians or other soldiers. Captain Jack Sparrow makes a daring escape using townspeople for cover while crossing a bridge and seeks refuge in a blacksmith shop, successfully eluding capture for the time being. Additionally, we examine the reality of soldiers shooting and reloading their muskets, learn a little about Gillette, and Heather causes us to look at 18th century literacy rates and the need for businesses to use signs with pictures on this episode of The Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

It’s time for minute 20 and Jack’s daring escape from the clutches of Commodore Norrington. Besides launching himself skyward, things take a decidedly 1980s turn as we explore Jack’s need for fresh breath, his overt revenge on Governor Swann and Norrington that’s filled with sexual innuendo towards Elizabeth, and we mourn the drowning of two British Royal Marines since obviously they can’t swim. Join us as we identify catchphrases and Scott sings a jingle on this episode of The Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.   

Did we really just make a connection between Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings? Scott expands on his medallion theory with the help of a listener, realizes that British Royal Marines were the pioneers of gang colors and pistol holding techniques, and examines the meaning of life through Captain Jack Sparrow. Join us for minute 19 of The Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

It’s Captain Jack Sparrow! In minute 18 of The Curse of the Black Pearl we finally get a formal introduction to Jack Sparrow…Captain Jack Sparrow. In this episode, we tackle listener questions regarding creepy theme songs and if piracy is in Gibbs’ heart, and jump into a minute full of offences on the infamous Bloody Code, sentence Jack to die not once, but twice, tackle pirate branding as punishment, and more. Join us for this episode of Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

It’s our first bonus episode and we’re excited to breakdown, analyze, and plunder the first two Dead Men Tell No Tales teaser trailers on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute. Join us as we discuss Captain Salazar’s need for dental hygiene, a turbo charged creepy theme song, the voodoo skull logo, hidden figures in the flames, and the need for gazebos on 18th century sailing vessels.

Join us for a gratuitous minute 17 of the Curse of the Black Pearl. Jack Sparrow takes Elizabeth’s dress off, removes her corset and puts his hands on her…medallion. Norrington and his crew finally arrive on the dock only to see a pirate rescue his love interest, oh the humanity, and points a sword in Jack’s face out – perhaps out of frustration! In this episode we also connect the pirate dots, talk 18th century Singapore, and discuss our favorite lines in our weekly segment, Really Bad Eggs, on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

Join us for minute 16 as we tune in to some amateur cliff diving and pirate swan diving – holding our breath while a gold medallion sends a weather-changing shockwave across the seas. Norrington chickens out of making an elaborate rescue and leaves it up to a loathsome pirate to say I do. The story is getting started and we are thrilled to get things underway in this episode of The Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

In this episode Mullroy waves the reductio ad absurdum wand and along with Murtogg try to determine if Jack Sparrow is telling the truth while helming the wheel on the docked HMS Interceptor. We bump on over to watch Norrington, who we now believe is completely blind to the non-verbal cues of Elizabeth Swann, embark down the path of a breathtaking marriage proposal – or maybe it is Elizabeth who literally can’t breathe. Join us for minute 15 of The Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute as we cross our fingers that Norrington opens his eyes.

We finally get to hear the end of the Black Pearl Legend that it was captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out! We get a Warner Brothers style cartoon payoff, examine a battle of wits, and learn why Captain Jack Sparrow is in Port Royal - to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, rape, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer his weasly black guts out. Join us on minute 14 of The Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

Bugs Bunny and Jack Sparrow, two classic tricksters that can only exist in a world that has some level of absurdism. In addition to this philosophical question, we examine the legend of the Black Pearl, channel our thoughts on Murtogg and Mullroy, and talk a little Blackbeard. All in a day’s work in minute 13 of The Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute. Join us!

Minute 12 is here of The Curse of the Black Pearl and we pirate up long enough to admit our mistake, thank a listener, and hit you with our favorite lines from the week in our Really Bad Eggs segment. And that’s right, we also discuss a pirate’s verbal jujitsu, Elizabeth Swann and the blazing heat, movie extras rowing all day, and the swashbuckling comedy duo Murtogg and Mullroy. Join us on Pirates of the Caribbean Minute!

Join us for minute 11 of The Curse of the Black Pearl as the hosts of the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute long for the return of Joshamee Gibbs. Additionally, we discuss Captain Jack Sparrow’s arrival to Port Royal, explore the real-life ships listed on the bill of entry, and wonder if ceremonial military music can relieve bystanders from overheating.

It’s a full 60 seconds of nothing but pirates (well pirate) as we sale on the Jolly Mon, salute skeleton pirates that have been gibbeted as a warning to others, and pay homage to the Henrietta’s true identity, the Brig Unicorn, that sunk in 2014. Join us for minute 9 of the Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.
