In minute 27 of The Curse of the Black Pearl, Will Turner calls Jack Sparrow a cheater (how dare he), Jack fights dirty with chocolate powder, and the sword fight comes to an abrupt end thanks to John Brown emptying a bottle of rum, waking up, and knocking Jack unconscious. Join us for this episode on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute as we offer pirate tips for overturning your next speeding ticket, have fun with our Really Bad Eggs segment, and note the similarities between Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner.

Join us for minute 26 of The Curse of the Black Pearl as we discover that what we thought was just a cute, innocent nickname takes an incredible turn for the worse. We announce that Scott will be a guest on the Goonies Minute podcast, find additional evidence that Will Turner is indeed Legolas from Lord of the Rings, discuss the critical need for action sequences to have a story, and explore some behind the scenes facts. Join us for this episode of Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

It’s all about the sword fighting in this episode of The Curse of the Black Pearl. We talk sword master Bob Anderson, the interplay between Will Turner and Jack Sparrow, the trick to screenwriting a swordfight, and the use of lighting in the blacksmith workshop. Plus, we make a connection between Star Wars, the dark side and Will Turner in minute 25 of Pirates of the Caribbean Minute. Join us!

Minute 24 of The Curse of the Black Pearl takes another famous gratuitous turn as things get a little frisky when discussing weapons and 18th century torture devices - how appropriate for Valentine's Day. That’s right, our own Will Turner apparently builds executioner axes and iron masks, a departure from his morally good character. Join us for this episode of Pirates of the Caribbean Minute as Scott strives to set a personal record for putting Heather at the heart of his jokes, and we watch Jack’s plan of escape almost come to fruition.

It’s minute 23 of The Curse of the Black Pearl and it’s time for a frank discussion on Jack’s unnatural relationship with his tricorn, leather hat. We also explore the dichotomy between Will Turner and Jack Sparrow, an Easter egg that leads to nowhere, and how Will heard that the Norrington was looking for a pirate plus is desire to make the capture. Join us for this episode of Pirates of the Caribbean Minute as we play guess the ending to Jack’s sentence!

Animals, blacksmiths, really bad eggs, and 18th century handcuffs. In this episode, we remember our second favorite Disneyland rides as kids, dive into animal actors, their trainers and movie magic, briefly explore the evolution of handcuffs, and discuss our favorite lines over the last 5 minutes. Join us for this episode of minute 22 of The Curse of the Black Pearl on Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

Join us for minute 21 of The Curse of the Black Pearl as we laugh and cross our fingers that a trained Royal Marine who is blindly waving and shooting his musket does not hit any civilians or other soldiers. Captain Jack Sparrow makes a daring escape using townspeople for cover while crossing a bridge and seeks refuge in a blacksmith shop, successfully eluding capture for the time being. Additionally, we examine the reality of soldiers shooting and reloading their muskets, learn a little about Gillette, and Heather causes us to look at 18th century literacy rates and the need for businesses to use signs with pictures on this episode of The Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

It’s time for minute 20 and Jack’s daring escape from the clutches of Commodore Norrington. Besides launching himself skyward, things take a decidedly 1980s turn as we explore Jack’s need for fresh breath, his overt revenge on Governor Swann and Norrington that’s filled with sexual innuendo towards Elizabeth, and we mourn the drowning of two British Royal Marines since obviously they can’t swim. Join us as we identify catchphrases and Scott sings a jingle on this episode of The Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

Did we really just make a connection between Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings? Scott expands on his medallion theory with the help of a listener, realizes that British Royal Marines were the pioneers of gang colors and pistol holding techniques, and examines the meaning of life through Captain Jack Sparrow. Join us for minute 19 of The Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.
