Episode 233 - Cabin Boy

GUEST ALERT: Oz and Curtis are putting on their best yachting caps, avoiding the "filthy fishermen," and trying not to get eaten by a giant shark-man! Joining us on the deck of The Filthy Whore is our friend Melissa L to help us make sense of the bizarre and beautiful Cult Classic: Cabin Boy!Nathaniel Mayweather (Chris Elliott) is a "Fancy Lad" and recent finishing school graduate who accidentally boards a decrepit fishing boat instead of a luxury cruise ship. As he is thrust into a world of salty sailors, mythological creatures, and a very confused David Letterman selling stuffed monkeys, Nathaniel must transform from a pampered brat into a true man of the sea.We dive into the film’s weirdly charming depths with Melissa: the incredible Tim Burton-produced production design, Chris Elliott’s fearless (and frequently abrasive) performance, the film’s transition from a massive box-office flop to a beloved weirdo staple, and why "these pipes are clean!" is still a top-tier movie quote. Is Cabin Boy a misunderstood masterpiece of Surreal Humor and a definitive 90s Comedy, or just a movie that proves you should never, ever buy a stuffed monkey from a stranger? Tune in for our full Cabin Boy 1994 movie review!If you’re into analyzing weird cinema, appreciating films that take massive creative risks, or listening to three people who would definitely get kicked off a fishing boat within five minutes, this episode is for you.To secure your content and avoid the wrath of a six-armed-woman-loving giant, head straight to https://LetsTalkAboutFlix.com — where our takes are as salty as a sea captain and guaranteed to be a delightfully strange listen.Follow the boys on social media:Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/letstalkaboutflix⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/letstalkaboutflix/⁠Support the show: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/talkaboutflix#moviepodcast #filmpodcast #comedypodcast #filmreview #moviereview
