Brace your sails and ready your cutlasses for Episode 5 of In Defence of! Ian commands his team of swashbucklers Master Will Dodson, Seaman Wendell Jones and Captain Rob Dodson on the high seas to discuss and defend Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Directed by Rob Marshall, the 4th instalment in the franchise is scored by no stranger to the series at all, Hans Zimmer, and features the talents of the ever-awesome Rodrigo y Gabriela. We will attempt to weather the rough seas of criticism and lead you to the port of redemption as to why it may not be as bad as you scurvy dogs remember and is in fact quite possibly as much fun as a barrel of rum. We load our cannons of positivity to fire across your bow in the hope that we can help you dear listeners find the bounty of defence. So hoist your sails and enjoy the show or you’ll find yourself in Davy Jones’ Locker! Arrr!
