Roman Polanski's Pirates

We kick off Marrr-ch, a month named for what else but pirate films, with a film so reviled, so totally unworthy of your time, it's kinda shocking that we talked for over an hour about it: Roman Polanski's Pirates. Film professor Spencer Parsons and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard stop by to talk about possibly the worst film this humble movie podcast has ever covered.

Starring Walter Matthau, this bizarre little film is a take on the pirate adventure films of old with very little else in the way of plot, character development, or interesting diaglogue. As least its nice to look at., sort of.
