Breaking Bill 8- Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Starting with a mini-beer review and a James Bond discussion, Sean welcomes Bill from 'Bill Reads Bad Reviews' back to Review It Yourself.

Bill brings a really eloquent argument for Skyfall (2012), whilst Sean just repeats "it's stupid" over and over again. They bond over a mutual dislike of Spectre (2016).

Discussion Points:

-Bill still hasn't got over his Forrest Gump episode.

-The dark tone during the opening of this film.

-We don't make films like this anymore.

-Sean completely forgets about the Lord of the Rings film series. The disappointment in Bill's voice is heart-wrenching.

-The strength of the characters in the film.

-That feeling you get when leaving the cinema after seeing a great film.

-Sean needs to lay off the history the books, as he repeatedly calls Barbossa, Barbarossa. Which was the code name for the Invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany.

Random Questions:

-Do the English drink warm beer?

-Do Americans put ice cubes in lager?

-Is Skyfall a poor man's Home Alone?

-Has Bill been watching too much Forrest Gump?

-Should Bill do an X-rated version of Bill Reads Bad Reviews?

-Who did the music for this film?

-What film in the Pirates franchise made Bill want to leave the movie theatre?

-Did the butler drop like a wooden door or like a sack of spuds?

-Did you know Zoe Saldana was in this film?

Random Quotes:

-"Who was in that writer's room?".

-"He can see the BRGR on the grill and he just needs to get to it".

-"The opening of this film, a lot better than the beginning of this [podcast] episode".
