Summary

We are 93 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they take to the high seas with the eighth Best Picture winner - 1935's Mutiny on the Bounty.


Ahoy! Witness Frank Lloyd's redemption from historical stinker Cavalcade as he makes a certified British banger in Mutiny on the Bounty. This tells the story of the HMS Bounty, a ship bound to Tahiti and captained by the domineering Captain Bligh. The titular mutiny comes when he pushes his crew too far but you'll have to listen to what comes next, and how it fits into the Best Picture canon.

In this episode you're gonna hear:
  • The "impressive" way that the British Navy grew their ranks in this period
  • How the casting director weaponized real life drama to great effect
  • Drew remind us about how much he hates courtroom scenes
  • Too many cheese puns
