Welcome, D-sciples, to the Summer of Pirates! We Want The D is celebrating the decades old tradition of blockbuster season by dedicating the next five months to one of Disney's most successful franchises, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. On the eve of the release of a fifth installment that nobody really asked for or wanted, Vicky, Nolan and Jill go back to where it all began - when a big budget movie based on a theme park ride, captained by an eccentric lead actor in a one-of-a-kind performance sailed into the hearts and minds of audiences everywhere. 2003 was a simpler time for movie franchises, and our hosts look back fondly on this stand-alone film unhindered by the baggage of multiple sequels and Johnny Depp's scandal-laden life and bizarre career choices. There'll be plenty of time for all that in the months ahead, but until then, we hope you'll enjoy the start of this epic series as we navigate the treacherous waters of the Summer of Pirates.
