ARRRRRRR!!!!! The Socially Distanced Podcast heads to the high seas to wax poetic about HBO Max’s original series, Our Flag Means Death. Hosts Bill Bodkin and Al Mannarino are joined by the scourge of the seven seas (and one of our favorite people), Kelly McGovern (@KelatTheMovies).
The trio of podcasting pirates go in-depth about the love between Stede (Rhys Darby) and Ed/Blackbeard (Taika Waititi) and why it’s become so popular on the internet. Also discussed on the episode is the series’ respect and celebration of queerness, the hilarious cameos, the brilliant supporting cast and wishes for Season 2.
However, before the Our Flag Means Death lovefest, they discuss all the happenings with Warner Brothers Discovery, the future of HBO Max, the impact big business will have on queer, independent and outside-the-box content as well as what these moves mean for the future of the crew of The Revenge.
