Hello and welcome to Cabin Boy Minute: Minute 20!
In this very special minute we are joined by the great Chad Opitz, stand-up comedy-man extra-ordinaire, as we consider the events of the quarter-pole minute of the movie. Mother Goose makes an appearance, we react to the reactions of the crew as Cappy confronts Nathanial, we attempt to learn about christening wigs, successfully learn about peckerheads, and marvel as our research takes us from Hawaii to Benignia, by way of London. Chad blesses us with his musings on Nathanial’s manliness, a dead-on James Gammon impression and his knowledge of Oingo Boingo.
During our analysis we introduce some new questions in which we ideate on a Cabin Boy video game, come up with a Call to Action and discuss what a class based on Cabin Boy would look like. But don’t worry, we still answer the classic questions: who won the scene, GPM and funny/not funny!
You can learn about the origins of the term peckerhead here or snag yourself a pound of chocolate covered macadamian nuts here.
Don’t let your linguistic wigs float away, ‘cause you’ll need them for next week's Cabin Boy Minute: Minute 21!
