Episode 40 - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (Crossover Ep with Talking The Mickey)

Bring us that horizon!  We're sailing the Seven Seas with the worst pirate you've ever heard of... but you have heard of him in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, & Georgia – along with Ethan from Talking the Mickey -  as we head into Crossover infested waters.  It's anything but a mutiny in this 40th episode as we discuss:

• How did a film based off of theme park ride have any business being this good?
• The parts of the Jack Sparrow character that Johnny Depp was successful in petitioning for and the nonsense that he was overruled on.
• The many alternate versions of this film that could've hit cinema screens if other casting choices had gone ahead
• What other cinematic swordfight the Sparrow/Turner clash reminds us of
• Why you can't read the sub-title on the film's poster
• Where Hans Zimmer got inspiration for the film's theme
• We talk about if we want to see another Pirates film with Depp?  Without Depp?
• We rave about the introduction Verbinski gives us to Captain Jack
• We gush about the character development and the intelligence of the script
• Whether or not Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is the Best Film Ever.
