In the opening scene, the H.M.S. Dauntless breaks an impenetrable wall of fog, a young Elizabeth Swann sings A Pirate’s Life for Me, and we learn that cursed pirate’s sail these waters. Join us on Pirates of the Caribbean Minute as we go down the rabbit hole on the famous song and the figurehead on the H.M.S. Dauntless.

Lieutenant Norrington vows that all pirates will meet what they deserve, a short drop and a sudden stop. Meanwhile, Gibbs continues to headline our discussions from the importance of rum on ships to colorful superstitions. And no, Pirates of the Caribbean Minute does not endorse throwing women overboard to appease the seas…or do we? Join us and find out!

A rogue parasol spins across the water, an unconscious boy floating on shipwreck, and an otherwise serene setting quickly becomes a barrage of flames as a ship appears to be torn in half and on fire. What happened here? Join us for minute 3 as we tackle the payoff from a buildup of eerie tension in the first 2.5 minutes…and discuss workplace safety on the HMS Dauntless and set a bar for future Fantasia references.

The merchant ship continues to burn and Gibbs chimes in with what everyone is thinking – Pirates! In addition to learning the rescued boy is Will Turner in minute 4, the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute hosts remember classic movies like Goonies and Jurassic Park and things take a gratuitous turn with true accounts of pirates and exploding ships.

A gold medallion, a pirate ship in fog, the Jolly Roger, and in a blink of an eye we are transported from Elizabeth’s past on the HMS Dauntless and her first encounter with pirates to her suddenly awakening from a startling dream as a grown woman. Join us for minute 5 of the Curse of the Black Pearl as we ponder if Elizabeth is really the first pirate we see in the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise.

Elizabeth brushes off dust from the gold medallion that she has been hiding in a secret compartment and decides to put it on…perhaps imagining what it would be like to be a pirate and reliving her experience on the HMS Dauntless. Join us as we wonder why the medallion has been hidden for so long, what other infamous pirate could have been Captain Jack Sparrow, and Heather pretends to be Dr. Evil.

Governor Swann and high society constrict Elizabeth’s breathing with an incredibly tight corset while the pirate medallion is close to her heart - the symbolism goes deep in this minute! Governor Swann receives a visitor who promptly shows his nervousness and we highlight our two favorite lines from the first 7 minutes in a recurring segment we call Really Bad Eggs. Join us for minute 7 of Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

Join us for minute 8 as we watch Will Turner seemingly nail and display his sword flipping skills while Governor Swann flinches and Elizabeth makes her grand Scarlett O’Hara stairway entrance. Scott and Heather also pretend to be sword experts and discuss how nice it is to have their own 18th century butler.

The pirate of love, Elizabeth Swann engages in a battle of hearts and desires with the off-limits workingman Will Turner. In minute 9 of the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute we are introduced to our first real pirate; the pirate we all wanted to see. Meanwhile Scott may or may not call Elizabeth a dog and we theorize that pirates may have been the inspiration for Batman’s utility belt. Join us as we analyze The Curse of the Black Pe...

It’s a full 60 seconds of nothing but pirates (well pirate) as we sale on the Jolly Mon, salute skeleton pirates that have been gibbeted as a warning to others, and pay homage to the Henrietta’s true identity, the Brig Unicorn, that sunk in 2014. Join us for minute 9 of the Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute.

Join us for minute 11 of The Curse of the Black Pearl as the hosts of the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute long for the return of Joshamee Gibbs. Additionally, we discuss Captain Jack Sparrow’s arrival to Port Royal, explore the real-life ships listed on the bill of entry, and wonder if ceremonial military music can relieve bystanders from overheating.

Minute 12 is here of The Curse of the Black Pearl and we pirate up long enough to admit our mistake, thank a listener, and hit you with our favorite lines from the week in our Really Bad Eggs segment. And that’s right, we also discuss a pirate’s verbal jujitsu, Elizabeth Swann and the blazing heat, movie extras rowing all day, and the swashbuckling comedy duo Murtogg and Mullroy. Join us on Pirates of the Caribbean Minute!

Bugs Bunny and Jack Sparrow, two classic tricksters that can only exist in a world that has some level of absurdism. In addition to this philosophical question, we examine the legend of the Black Pearl, channel our thoughts on Murtogg and Mullroy, and talk a little Blackbeard. All in a day’s work in minute 13 of The Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute. Join us!

We finally get to hear the end of the Black Pearl Legend that it was captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out! We get a Warner Brothers style cartoon payoff, examine a battle of wits, and learn why Captain Jack Sparrow is in Port Royal - to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, rape, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer his weasly black guts out. Join us on minute 14 of The Curse of the Bla...

In this episode Mullroy waves the reductio ad absurdum wand and along with Murtogg try to determine if Jack Sparrow is telling the truth while helming the wheel on the docked HMS Interceptor. We bump on over to watch Norrington, who we now believe is completely blind to the non-verbal cues of Elizabeth Swann, embark down the path of a breathtaking marriage proposal – or maybe it is Elizabeth who literally can’t breathe. Join us for...

Join us for minute 16 as we tune in to some amateur cliff diving and pirate swan diving – holding our breath while a gold medallion sends a weather-changing shockwave across the seas. Norrington chickens out of making an elaborate rescue and leaves it up to a loathsome pirate to say I do. The story is getting started and we are thrilled to get things underway in this episode of The Curse of the Black Pearl on the Pirates of the Car...

Join us for a gratuitous minute 17 of the Curse of the Black Pearl. Jack Sparrow takes Elizabeth’s dress off, removes her corset and puts his hands on her…medallion. Norrington and his crew finally arrive on the dock only to see a pirate rescue his love interest, oh the humanity, and points a sword in Jack’s face out – perhaps out of frustration! In this episode we also connect the pirate dots, talk 18th century Singapore, and disc...

It’s our first bonus episode and we’re excited to breakdown, analyze, and plunder the first two Dead Men Tell No Tales teaser trailers on the Pirates of the Caribbean Minute. Join us as we discuss Captain Salazar’s need for dental hygiene, a turbo charged creepy theme song, the voodoo skull logo, hidden figures in the flames, and the need for gazebos on 18th century sailing vessels.
