The swashbuckling genre takes Alex and Jonathan from medieval England to the Caribbean to a galaxy far far away as we look at The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). We talk about the history of swashbuckling stories, common elements of the genre, and the place that swashbucklers have in modern storytelling.Skip to:Coming AttractionsVOTE NOW: https://www.patreon.com/posts/remakes-poll-28251638For more information, visit the blog:thefilmlings.wordpress.com/2019/08/20/swashbucklinSupport the Show!Patreon: patreon.com/thefilmlingsKo-fi: ko-fi.com/thefilmlings
