Episode 8: Shipwrecked!
/
“It’s gone! I don’t believe it! Get out of here! Get out! Get that treasure!"
-Shipwrecked! (1990)
We’re back Loyal Listeners with a bit of an odd installment, Shipwrecked! (1990), an obscure Disney/Norwegian classic pirate adventure that’s essentially Home Alone: Tropical Island, but with a random gorilla thrown into the mix. Listen to us chat about guns made of glass, a ship captain with a heart of gold and a stomach of poison, passive aggressive milk chugging, Jens “I’ll be your cruise director and hot blonde mentor on this adventure”, Haakon awkwardly not knowing what orphans are, and Gabriel Byrne wearing the hell out of some leather pants. Hope you enjoy!
