Spencer and Josh are going back to 1995 to watch what might be the biggest spectacle of any pirate movie ever made, Cutthroat Island. If anything, no other film out there might have as much explosives as this movie is packing. We discuss the movie in a retrospective review going through all the turmoils and issues that it had while being made and why it did not seem to make the big bucks it deserved at the box office.

It's not a perfect movie by any means and it does have some goofy dialogue throughout it, but it is still one hell of a thrilling ride. Just like the big explosions in the end, this was also the final flick of Carolco Pictures. Really marking the end of a major era in cinema. And sadly, we lost the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Paul Verhoeven film The Crusade in the process. Cause there could be only one, and money was already fueled into Cutthroat Island.

Directed by Renny Harlin, the guy who did Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, and Deep Blue Sea and starring Geena Davis in the leading role, which she carries very well and delivers throughout. We also got ole Matthew Modine as the second in command, comic relief character. Which sadly is a little off and does kind of feel like a second-rate Carey Elwes. Rounded off with Frank Langella as the heavy, providing a great pirate villain to chew some scenery even with the silly lines he sometimes gets.

Join us as we break it all down in this spoiler-filled discussion! Then get sidetracked as usual with other movies, games, comics, and life stories. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into fascinating films.
