Set sail with us as we dive deep into the high seas of nostalgia with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) — a swashbuckling, genre-defying movie that still holds up over 20 years later. In this episode, we celebrate Keira Knightley, our reigning period drama queen, in one of her most iconic roles, and explore how Penny Rose's costume design and the unforgettable score helped bring the Golden Age of Piracy to life.
We also talk favorite scenes (yes, Jack Sparrow’s entrance is still legendary) and how this surprise Disney hit — inspired by a legendary ride — launched a franchise that defined a generation.
Grab your bottle of rum and swoon with us as we revisit the magic of this timeless comedy adventure.
