We are dedicating the month of March to the most successful theme-park-ride-turned-movie ever, Pirates of the Caribbean.


EPISODE NOTES: To wrap up this series, we're talking about what Rhonda loves to talk about most: corsets.


How did corsets become Hollywood shorthand for patriarchal oppression?


And why has Keira Knightley worn so many of them in her movies?


Is Elizabeth Swann a feminist icon?


Also, remember a few weeks ago when sea shanties were huge on TikTok?


We end the series, as is our tradition, with our results of the "Which Character Are You?" quiz.
