12:11

Alex ShawHOST
Do you want to give us your sort of brief capsule account of what it was like watching this one after having watched and covered that first one?
M
12:28Maya SourisGUEST
And possibly since I saw it in the theater in the mid aughts, like it's, it's been a minute and there's a lot, like you mentioned at the top, there's a lot of memorable scenes from this.
M
12:44Maya SourisGUEST
I did not remember Dead Man's Chest being, one, as long as it is, and two, having such a huge emphasis on the character of Jack Sparrow.

They're really good at choreography, they're very good at footwork, and they have that combination of strength and flexibility.

81:39Maya SurisGUEST
A lot of dancers translate very well to being good fighters, especially if they're doing specifically stage combat or something that is choreographed.
M
81:50Maya SurisGUEST
But just in general, they understand how the body moves and they understand those mechanics that kind of lend themselves to, you know, fighting in some ways you could think of it as more aggressive dancing.
M
82:03Maya SurisGUEST
There are people in my past who I, one specific person that I used to refer to as my dance partner, because one of the ways that we first became attracted to each other was when we danced for the first time.

something that alex loves to say all the time is that all the characters are facets of him um again coming back a little bit to the uh psychological archetypes and stuff like that you you You talked about Seth and his influence on the story, but in terms of viewing Aaron, Titus, and Eris as aspects of yourself, is there a strong or weak correlation?
