Cutthroat Island

It's one thing for a movie to fail; it's another for a movie to fail and take multiple careers, a studio, and even an entire genre down with it. But that's the legacy of CUTTHROAT ISLAND, a raucous 1995 pirate adventure that for a while was the biggest box office bomb of all time. We dig into the crazy and cursed production of the film before talking about the SNES/Genesis adaptation, which adds cutlasses to the traditional belt-scroller formula. 

Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm
