Episode 37: "Murdered By Pirates is Good." - Captain Blood / The Pirates / The Princess Bride

For March Madness, the Brendans team up with our crew at Cinapse to celebrate possibly our favorite sub-genre - the romantic swashbuckling adventure! Here we have a three-course feast of options, from 1935's Captain Blood, 2014's The Pirates, and - one of the best to ever do it - 1987's The Princess Bride. We also pay respects to departed actors Michelle Trachtenberg and Gene Hackman, ponder what's to become of Bond under Bezos's guiding hand, and the shocking "redesign" of Shrek and Donkey.Our Opening Music is from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): "Skies of Hope" by RAhttps://uppbeat.io/t/ra/skies-of-hopeYou can follow Foley on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and/or read his work on ⁠⁠Cinapse⁠⁠ (including a review of the newest Die Hard-alike, ⁠Cleaner⁠), and you can follow Agnew on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and wherever you can bloody well find him.
