We return with a bit of a musical shake up in our Pirate Parley podcast, The Pirates of Penzance (1983). Listen to us talk about Kevin Kline’s leather pants. There’s probably some other stuff about pirates and musicals, but let’s be real. Kevin Kline’s leather pants. Hope you enjoy (Kevin Kline’s leather pants)!

Hello Loyal Listeners! With so many classic iterations to choose from, we finally landed on Treasure Planet (2002)! Listen to us chat about Disney’s classically maligned/under-appreciated animation box office bomb as we explore the Treasure Island storyline! In space! From throwing in a board (surf or skate, you choose) so kids can relate and Scroop the evil crab that makes you want to poop, to interspecies cat/dog mating dynamics, Morph’s “Airbud moment” and Jim Hawkin’s kill count and killer (questionable?) haircut, we’ve got it all! But most importantly: justice for Mr. Arrow! Hope you enjoy!

We’re back Loyal Listeners with a bit of an odd installment, Shipwrecked! (1990), an obscure Disney/Norwegian classic pirate adventure that’s essentially Home Alone: Tropical Island, but with a random gorilla thrown into the mix. Listen to us chat about guns made of glass, a ship captain with a heart of gold and a stomach of poison, passive aggressive milk chugging, Jens “I’ll be your cruise director and hot blonde mentor on this adventure”, Haakon awkwardly not knowing what orphans are, and Gabriel Byrne wearing the hell out of some leather pants. Hope you enjoy!

We continue our streak of Errol Flynn pirate movies in today's Pirate Parley episode, The Sea Hawk! In this oar-snapping good time, listen to us chat away about the World War II pro-British politics that not-so-subtly snuck in, the return of pet monkeys (finally), the good old philosophy of a Captain going down with his ship (for a dignified 2 seconds of course), and light/traumatic romps in Panama swamps.

Ahoy Loyal Listeners! We’re back with the black and white swashbuckling classic, Captain Blood, starring Errol Flynn and Olivia De Havilland!

Listen to us chat about helping a governor out with gout, Basil Rathbone’s tragically good fencing skills, and (of course) consensually celebrating in pirate fashion! Hope you enjoy!

And we’re back with our final installment in the original trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End! Listen to us ask the hard hitting questions like, “How far away is Tia Dalma’s hut from Singapore?”, “Is Hector Barbossa marriage material, or just a really bitchin’ officiant?”, “Why is this installment not called Pirates of the Caribbean: The Musical when ‘Hoist the Colors’ is such a killer bop?”, and the most important of all: “How the frig does this curse thing work?”. Hey, what happens in Davy Jones’ locker stays in Davy Jones’ locker. Hope you enjoy!
