Animals, blacksmiths, really bad eggs, and 18th century handcuffs.

Join us for this episode of minute 22 of […]

Captain Jack Sparrow makes a daring escape using townspeople for cover while crossing a bridge […]
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 […]

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.

Bugs Bunny and Jack Sparrow, two classic tricksters that can only exist in a world that has some level of absurdism.
