Brigade of Imbeciles Leanne and Vess

If Blackbeard believes that all the unimportant organs are on the left side of his body, does he think the heart is unimportant too? In this episode, we run through Episode 6 of Our Flag Means Death - The Art of Fuckery. Unfortunately, Stede's need to impress Ed runs parallel with Ed’s growing need to kill him.Find us everywhere else: https://linktr.ee/imbecilespod

This week, Damien Gerard (Father Teach on Our Flag Means Death), dropped by the podcast to share his journey from England to Hollywood with us. Damien's passion for acting is inspiring; turning one terrible diagnosis into a positive beacon for other actors. He also tells us about his experiences on the set of Our Flag Means Death, why he thinks it's "one of the best sets" he's ever been on, and his thoughts on Season 2.Find us everywhere else: https://linktr.ee/imbecilespod

Under the biggest, brightest, fullest of moons, Ed gives a part of his heart to Stede. But what else does the Moon represent in Our Flag Means Death? This week, we invite Stella (@politemenace1 on Twitter) to share her analysis on the moon's symbols and significance in the series. Similar to a lighthouse, the moon is also reflector of light and needs light to provide balance. Just like Ed is wrong about the moon, Stede is wrong about lighthouses - that's part of how they balance each other.Read Stella's full Twitter thread here: https://twitter.com/politemenace1/status/1532871578203168769?s=20&t=6sdp8AFAnnHwjTSZhj72RAStella can also be found at:Ao3 - GrimGrinningGhostTwitter - @politemenace1, @StellaScrivenerMedium - @StellaTheScrivenerInstagram - @StellaTheScrivenerFind us everywhere else: https://linktr.ee/imbecilespod

This episode is alternatively titled: What if we almost kissed while Buttons was basking in the moon-glow? Gatecrashing a party ship, Edward has his first taste of the hoity-toity life, Frenchie and Oluwande create the pyramid scheme, and Stede indirectly sets fire to the aforementioned ship in defence of Edward. A beautiful first date, if you ask me.Find us everywhere else: https://linktr.ee/imbecilespod

Unlike the titular film, no fortune cookies were needed to get Blackbeard and Stede into each others clothes within 5 minutes of properly meeting each other - a key metaphor for their mutual influences on each other throughout the series. From fine fabrics to lighthouses, this is truly the most fun we’ve had at sea in ages.Find us everywhere else: https://linktr.ee/imbecilespod
