Connor and Riley talk about the often overlooked epic-period film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Once again, Connor geeks out about history as they discuss if life at sea really was as grueling as this movie depicts. Does the CG hold up to today's standards? How faithful is Russel Crowe's performance to the Captain Aubrey from Patrick O'Brian's original novels? How does this film compare to Pirates of the Caribbean released the same year?
WARNING: Full spoilers for Master and Commander, Dead Poet Society, and Picnic at Hanging Rock.
