This week, Gavia and Morgan dive into the internet television sensation-du-jour, "Our Flag Means Death." This pirate comedy stars Rhys Darby as the "Gentleman Pirate" Stede Bonnet, a somewhat hapless newcomer to the scene who's living out his midlife crisis through piracy, and Taika Waititi as Blackbeard, the fearsome rogue who's tired of all that marauding... and gets a new lease on life when he meets Stede. Topics include the show's glorious central love story, its refreshingly unremarked-upon queer supporting cast, a stunningly good central performance by Waititi, and how it succeeds and fails in engaging with history.
