I know what you're thinking: "not another TV/Movie review podcast". Well, it is that, but hopefully with a little different perspective on things. We aren't experts, or people spending weeks to get every detail from every source there is. We are just two friends talking about the shows and movies we like, and giving our two thoughts for a penny.

The Kelly McDonald and David Tennent rom-com we all know and love: The Decoy Bride. It's like a movie....it is a movie! Everybody who has already seen this movie found that hilarious, I promise. In this movie you get an English woman playing an American, a Scottish man playing an Englishman, and a Scottish woman actually playing...a Scottish woman. What more could you possibly ask for? It is a movie that makes you smile even if you can't entirely understand half of the characters in the film (seriously -- first time viewers should have subtitles on).

You are fully aware that it is chlorinated water and as clear as a freshly cleaned glass cup, but something deep down is still nagging you telling you that something is lurking below. Just buying its time before it strikes and takes you down to a watery grave. Well JAWS was the movie that ruined the ocean, swimming pools, and even bath tubs for a lot of people and has continued to traumatize children who just happened to stumble upon it during a late night sleep over. Miranda and Will are diving into the Steven Spielberg classic and reliving some of their very own trauma from watching and absolutely loving this classic.

Night Shyamalan decided he wanted to make a very British comedy; they also are trying out a new format. No more talking about the film scene by scene, now they have a conversation about each piece that goes into creating a film. Especially if that film is one of the most ridiculous cop movies that has ever been made. We love gore, we love comedy, we love dry British humor, and we love making fun of cops.

Okay enough stalling I'm ready to do this. I'm gonna give my self over to it 100%. Will and Miranda talked for such a long time that we had to split this Disney classic into two parts.

    Disney strikes again here on TTP with a classic from 2003, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Possibly one of the weirdest concepts for a movie ever. "Hey Mr. Disney I have been thinking about the amusement park ride we have." the producer said. Mr. Disney sat up a bit tall and spoke " You mean It's a Small World?" "No...." the producer said in confusion. "Oh then you must mean my favorite ride ever the Tower of Terror!" Mr. Disney said with a whimsical glint in his eye. "No sir, I am talking about Pirates of the Caribbean" the producer said in a stern but gentle voice. "I want to turn that ride into one of the most successful movie franchises to ever grace cinema!" "Oh...okay...I mean I think Tomorrow Land would be better, but whatever you want." Here is $140,000,000 have fun!" Thus one of the greatest pirate movies of all time was born and brought into this world. Cosplay, Time Square, and Hollywood Boulevard would forever be changed by the insane character that was created by Johnny Depp. Miranda and Will had so much fun in fact, that this is only part one of a two part series on Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.
