Hello Sailor!

Jason from 'It's Not That Bad' podcast jumps onboard the 'Defend It Yourself' ship to review The Pirate Movie (1982), an Australian musical romantic comedy loosely based on The Pirates of Penzance.

"Think Pirates of the Caribbean crossed with YMCA's 'In The Navy', throw a bit of Baywatch in there, a bit of Grease, a bit of Grease 2, the non-shark bits of Jaws and the dreamlike quality of Scrubs and you're about halfway there".

My Guest:

"It’s the show that does its best to defend the unfairly maligned movies, to find the silver linings in the films deemed “less than great”. Every week, host Jason Whissell is joined by a guest to discuss a movie that has been poorly rated by the critics or by the fans" , description from their website: https://notthatbadcast.com/home/

Discussion Points:

-Bus stops advertisements.

-Taking the context and the time that the film was made into account when watching the film.

-The Pirate King and his fantastic lines, played charmingly by Ted Hamilton.

-There's a lot to be said for a film that just makes you laugh.

-A lot of Jason's examples go completely over Sean's head.

-Sean drops Casualty (1986-Present) trivia but gets his Grease (1978) trivia desperately wrong.

-Sean gets distracted by The Batman (2022) once Jason brings it up. It's been a while.

-Jason and Sean discuss World War Z (2013).

-Sean ironically discusses editing.

Raised Questions:

-Do you believe film critics?

-Did they get past introductions in the 80's?

-Where do the Ninjas turn up?

-How bad does this film look on paper?

-This film got how many many Razzie nominations?

-What does Jason think of the musical score, did it damage the film?

-The self-awareness of the film?

-What do critics want?

-Are films with a long runtime necessary?

-Is this film a perfect 'bad day' film?

Random Recommendations:

-Repo The Genetic Opera (2008).

-House of Wax (2005).

-Bottom (TV Series 1991-1995).

-The Pope's Exorcist (2023).
