Pirates of The Caribbean, Davey Jones, and Alexander The Great

from The Glorious Beard Podcast · host JXB Media

Today’s episode puts the beard under a digital microscope. We’ll look at how CGI is reshaping facial hair on screen, sometimes in ways you don’t even notice. Then we head to the high seas for a closer look at the beards of Pirates of the Caribbean—what they got right, what they didn’t, and how facial hair shaped the mythos of the pirate. And finally, we go back to the ancient world to talk about Alexander the Great and his unexpected order that banned beards in his army. Not because he hated them—but for a much more tactical reason.All of this on todays episode of The Glorious BeardFind all things glorious: https://linktr.ee/thegloriousbeardleave us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/GloriousBeardVoicemailTHANKS FOR LISTENING.
