Episode #17: Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl

This week Nick and Randy stretch their definition of what qualifies as an adaptation as they sail the seven seas covering the early 2000’s blockbuster sensation Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.  The lads dive into their appetite for theme parks and their memories of the ride that inspired the franchise before setting course for Tortuga. They discuss the phenomenon of Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow and they close out as always by diving deeper into their thoughts on the adaptation by scoring it on casting, plot, world-building, soundtrack, and legacy.
