Today, we set sail into Season 16, because Justin has written six trivia questions all about pirates, piracy, and plundering! We also talk about Internet piracy, swashbuckling cinema, and a bit of history!
2:31: Q1 (Movies & TV): Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, and Against All Flags are among the pirate movies starring what swashbuckling actor of the 30s, 40s, and 50s, perhaps better known for his portrayal of Robin Hood, his hedonistic personal life, and his, um, physical assets?
9:21: Q2 (Everything Else): Founded by a Swedish think tank, the Pirate Bay is a prominent website that uses what peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol, which sounds a “bit” like a fast-flowing stream?
18:49: Q3 (Music): Pirate metal is a music genre derived from what kind of nautical work song that was popular among pirates as well as more legitimate sailors, and experienced a brief, strange resurgence during COVID-19 lockdowns?
26:15: Q4 (Sports & Games): Although there are a few college teams called the “pirates”, what is the only Big Four professional sports team with that nickname? I need the sport, and the city.
32:18: Q5 (Times & Places): Also known as Ottoman Corsairs, what pirate slavers who operated out of Northern Africa were named for a nomadic people of that region of the world?
38:50: Q6 (Arts & Literature): Pirate Latitudes is a posthumous novel by what author, better known for techno-thrillers like Next and The Andromeda Strain?
