Here's episode 19 of Pirates of Darkwater! Right on time!

Jake and Sky watched episode 18 of the Pirates of Darkwater, The Pandawa Plague. It definitely wasn't a plague, but alliteration is key. We discuss Jake's low bar on political stuff, a Power Rangers' mouth monster, the restraint on the design team for not giving the female monkeybird boobs, wishbone the story dog, and Wojtek the bear in the polish army. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

Jake and Sky watched Pirates of Darkwater episode 17 Game Players of Undar! It was weird. It was almost a "most dangerous game" parody, but not. We discuss what do you call an earthquake but for the water, Amalgam Comics, American Gladiators, and we witness a pretty brutal murder https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

Jake and Sky watch episode 16 of Pirates of Darkwater, The Dragon Master. It was nothing like Double Dragons or WMAC Masters. We discuss the pros and cons of a dragon hoodie, a terrible truth about the dagrons is revealed, and Bloth's ship might be a nature preserve? https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

Jake and Sky are at it again. We watched episode 15 "The Ghost Pirates" No prizes for guessing what secrets the episode holds. We discuss how Ioz misses doing pirate stuff, Bloth can't find the Raith for the first time in the show, Tula kills Ren, and Sky talkes about the Liver King. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

This week from several weeks ago, sorry I'm behind, Jake and Sky watched episode 14 of the Pirates of Darkwater, "The Dark Disciples" Sky was sick during recording, but most of the coughs were able to be edited out. Also, Content warning for gross worms getting stabbed We discuss a half fish man with a tentacle, the 3Ninjas film franchise, we find the other half of Ren's sword, we talk way too much about apples, and we return to Octopon

This week Jake and Sky watch episode 13 of Pirates of Darkwater, "The Dark-Dweller" This episode was recorded back in December, but i'm just now getting around to editing stuff. There is a fair amount of Christmas references. We discuss dune buggies, if horizontal stalagmites/stalactites exist, we see more of Bloth's gross feet (if youre into that kind of thing), a coffin made of bones, and Ren forgets that the treasures of rule scares off darkwater. You know, the only thing they're for? https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

We interrupt the normal pirate show to bring you this episode of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Its episode 59 "Holiday Time" You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hitRhO_eUs and you should! It's Great! We discuss how awesome the animation and cast is, we get some backstory to Buzz Lightyear, we discuss how Adam Carolla and Tim Allen suck, and Sky remembers most of the names We hope you have a safe and happy holiday! https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

This week Jake and Sky watch episode 12 of Pirates of Darkwater, Little Leviathan. It was exactly as cutesy as you may expect, and also more violent than you'd anticipate. We discuss Konk's sexual predilections, the various Kool-Aid mascots, Sky makes a super specific Dinosaurs reference, and Bloth actually utilizes his air force. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

Jake and Sky watch episode 11 Collection of the Pirates of Darkwater. Stuff gets weird. One of the largest confirmed body counts of any show we watched happens in this episode. We discuss grade school field trips, when Sky peaked as a person, how James Cameron can eat a bowl of butts, Peter Pan/ Hook, and how the crew should just become pot farmers. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

Jake and Sky found out that in episode 10 of Pirates of Darkwater, "King Niddler" there is a SWAT Cat dragon. This was not what we expected. We discuss birds that walk like men, how melons don't grow on trees, how the sail of the ship can just convert into a flying machine, what Jake would do if he were made a king, how dramatically underappreciated Tula is, and how the female monkey-not-birds wasn't given human breasts by the design team. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus #piratesofdarkwater

This week Jake and Sky watch episode 9 Panacea of the Pirates of Darkwater. We also do not know what the word panacea means. We discuss how they probably couldn't use the term "wet suck hole" on tv, there's a dune worm wandering around, we talk about Niddler being illicit with the melons a little too long, and there's a Sonic the Hedgehog robot bird just here? You can just come into whatever cartoon you feel like? Get outta here robot bird. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

Its the best time of the series arc, where we inevitably resort to nets. Jake and Sky Watch episode 8 of Pirates of Darkwater "Beast and the Bell" It is not related to Disney's Beauty and the Beast in any way. We discuss how truly terrible Ren is at negotiating, there's weird SCUBA bugs, tuning fork spears, and the Darkwater is sort of kind of explained. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

This week Jake and Sky watched episode 7 "Drop of Darkness" of the Pirates of Darkwater. It... This episode was genuinely upsetting. We discuss store brand chemist Barbie, hot air balloons, cruse ships, getting trapped in lockets, Ghost Writer and the "Gooey Gus" story arc, and a sharp cookie crossbow. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

This week we watched episode 6 Andorus of The Pirates of Darkwater. The shift in tone was pretty subtle from the first five episodes as marked by Tula getting a new outfit We discuss how Tula is a witch, the biology of the Pentapus, both Stretch Armstrong and Sky Dancer toys, how Blackwater is the name of the mercenary group, and a bunch of totally real Steven King Facts. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

This week Sky and Jake watch episode 5 of Pirates of Darkwater: "Victory" So much happens in this episode. We discuss the baffling non-Euclidian architecture of the Malestrom, the complex biology of the constrictus, how we're all going to be eating garlic crickets one day, and how Bloth has a super awesome table that we want in real life. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

Jake and Sky watch Episode 4 of Pirates of Darkwater, "Betrayal" We were pretty enamored with a piece of equipment that doesn't get nearly enough screen time We discuss the impossible structure of the bad guy's ship, we get into a few math fights, we discuss apples and bongs, and Sky reveals his scheme for a patreon. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

This week Jake and Sky watch episode 3 of The Pirates of Darkwater! The episode is entitled "Breakup" so you'd think that maybe someone will have a significant other that will be introduced. Nah. It's about slavery. Cool. Cool. Cool. A super comfortable time was had by all. We discuss how we have to do recaps now?!, how one drinks out of a sponge, how technologically advanced is this word, and a product deal we may or may not have in Guatemala. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

This week in Pirates of Darkwater, Jake and Sky watch episode two "Dishonor" A lot happens and yet not much happens? We discuss how Ren just hangs his broken sword on a nail while he sleeps, Sky learns the true meaning of Cirq De Soli, Tim Curry returns to the podcast, and the main characters are really bad at tactics. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

Greetings friends! We were able to find a copy of Pirates of Darkwater and thus have embarked to recount the tale to you, the listener. We're off to a promising start with a discussion of the practicality of a boat made entirely of bones, we question the very premise of the show, Joe Camel has a cameo appearance, and the bad guy looks racist for a race that doesn't exist. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
