Treasure Island (1990)
Episode Notes Andi brings Ronnie the pirate context they so dearly need, with the help of a star-studded cast. They watch the 1990 film adaptation of Treasure Island with Christian Bale, Charlton Heston, and Christopher Lee. It's very true to the book and a little boring, but theres definitely Long John Silver! So that's something!

Episode 17 – RIP to the Last Good Ally
Episode Notes We recorded this one on election night. Oops. To skip election conversation, skip ahead to 8:05. This episode of Black Sails is high on excitement, high on trauma, and very low on reasons we should be trusting allies. The clock is running out on the lives of some favorite characters, and others are given big moments to make a heroic turn. We talk allyship, the nuances of 'fridging', and acceptable forms of violence.

Episode 16 – Silver Becomes Important at Work
Episode Notes Is it a set up episode? Kind of. But this episode is still no filler, all killer! Literally! Flint kills a guy! And it's the best! Weird how this show has made me love violence so much! Not going to confront that any further....Anywho!

Episode 10 – Low Blow
Episode Notes Ronnie would like to formally take back everything they said about Ned Low being a budget Charles Vane. He is definitely a big bad villain and very scary and I'm sorry Ned, don't hurt me. Anywho, Andi and Ronnie discuss Chapter 10 of Black Sails. The formation of the Ranger Polycule, James McGraw keying in on his inner Flint, and of course, the infamous Ned Low.

Episode 7 – The Metaphor Goes Hard
Episode Notes Flint is gay, and it is very important you know that before this episode because the "pirate" metaphor makes us get pretty deep. Before that we talk about Larp and stuff but just be prepared for some big feelings and self reflection brought about because Miranda sent one simple letter. Its almost as big a deal for us as it is for Billy Bones (RIP[maybe]) Art by kvhastings on instagram Our intro music "Spark of the Sea" by Ronnie Palmieri Production support provided by Bristol Pod Works Brought to you by the kind support of Where They May Radio patrons.

Episode Notes Content Warning: discussion of rape and sexual assault. You can skip 33:00-50:28 if you want to avoid all discussion of it It's time to do a bit of negotiation on Nassau as Ronnie and Andy discuss chapter 3 of Black Sails. The Walrus is looking for a sister ship and Silver demonstrates his value by exposing his cowardice.
