Show Notes
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl has gotta be the only good film to come out of IP mining.
I cannot recommend Dan Golding’s video essay A Theory of Film Music enough, and also highly recommend his book Star Wars After Lucas (he also has a great talk on Nostalgia Piano, but I think that one might have just been a conference exclusive)
You can follow the show on Twitter (@goingrogue_pod), Instagram (@goingrogue_podcast), or Tumblr or Bluesky (@goingroguepod) or for slightly less hinged content, follow @tansyclipboard on twitter or @tansyg.bsky.social on Bluesky.

An A-list Japanese cast. An international action star. A budget somewhere between $175million and $225 million. A director making his first feature film.
Endings are tough. But they tell us a lot about what a storyteller, or a company, values.
Without the edit, there is no film. Without Marcia Lucas, there is no Star Wars.
Star Wars Episode IX is often dismissed as a film made by committee, but with its constant on-set rewrites, loose improvisational style and hyperactive camera movement, it’s very much a J.J. Abrams film.
It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that any criticism of J.J. Abrams’ work must discuss the Mystery Box. Check out Jon McCoy’s Episode IX Visual Sketchbook - it’s really fuckin cool! Also while you’re at it, Phil Saunders has also shared a heap of his work on the film with explanations of the process AND exact dates that really helped me piece together the timeline on this one.
