Before there was Captain Jack Sparrow there was Captain Ron,

I knew this Captain once named Morgan.. he was a top sailing man and my best friend...

We had gone on a lot of adventures together, God times.

There was an episode of the Film Junk podcast that I listened to a couple months back, where two of the hosts talked about the idea of this being a possible prequel to "Escape From New York". One of the hosts is a big John Carpenter buff, and the other is a fan of middle-of-the-road 90's comedies, and while it's been awhile since I've seen "Escape", they made a pretty convincing argument...or at least gave me a reason to want to re-watch this with their idea in mind.

On my downcast app, I already have 27 podcasts so why not add another one... LOL

They have to do something from Martin Shorts early movies, there's so many great choices, Pure Luck, Clifford, Three Fugitives etc... This one does have the benefit of an awesome performance from Kurt Russell.
