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 Disney podcasting crew – Ellie, Ethan, Georgia & Ian – along with Liam from Best Film Ever -  as we head into Crossover infested waters.  It's anything but a mutiny in this 45th 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

We've got some more great content in our Pause for the Parks segment (thanks to our friend Andrew)  So, catch up on some great Disney content and then join the conversation (@talkthemickey), Instagram (@talkingthemickey), or on our Facebook page (@talkingthemickey).  If you comment, you may end up among our 'shoutouts of the week.'
