Swashbuckler

But like, if you're interested in that kind of like torture experiment on yourself, there it is.

But he also did swashbuckler in the seventies, which he played the villain in up against Robert Shaw as a pirate right after Jaws, which is kind of what we wanted to see Robert Shaw do right after Jaws anyways.

not usually my kind of movie he is in it enough I think to be like worthy of the deep dive but it just came down to like it's more Robert Shaw's movie and like not a type of movie that you and I tend to talk about much but I can't complain about Swashbuckler it's a good movie Taxi Driver of course and Hardcore we've mentioned the two Martin Scorsese and Paul Schrader involved films Which are absolutely essential, but also you can forgive us for not thinking that Peter Boyle is the most important part of those movies.

Yeah, we talked about hardcore during our George C. Scott episode pretty extensively.

Otherwise, it would have made this list.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, part two.

Swashbuckling September is here, which is just incredibly exciting because I feel like swashbuckling is something that is not discussed or talked about enough.

And that was...

there was a bunch of ideas I had in mind for a release date for intrigue is my assignment, but having it fall on the first day of swashbuckling September was perfect because there's for sure some swashbuckling adventure in there.

I was just going to say the idea of, I think what makes a swashbuckler a swashbuckler is they're having fun, at least to some degree.

As soon as they're like, I don't want to be here, I think you lose a lot of that swashbuckling energy.

As a part of celebrating Swashbuckling September, I am doing a Swashbuckling September giveaway in which, this is the announcement, folks, a copy of Captain Blood by Raphael Sabatini, which is utter classic.

Perhaps like the Ur-Swashbuckler, The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orzi, which, again, for anyone that has followed me long enough knows this is like a keystone story.
