Ep. 20: A Professional Pirate

Be Gay Do Piracy

We'll end the year with a side quest! Instead of our favorite pirate media, Co-captains Lea and Jenn take a deep dive off the plank to talk about a DIFFERENT pirate media: "Muppet Treasure Island," starring the absolutely luminous Tim Curry and a great cast of our favorite muppets (and some of our favorite humans). How did a 19th-century novel become a beloved children's movie with a frog captain, a pig femme fatale and the motleyest of motley crews? Very well, actually. We think this delight is the perfect cure for "Cabin Fever" (cue: AAAAHHH).
