Avast, mateys! We're finally tackling Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and this time we brought in someone who actually worked on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.

Kyle Forsyth joins us to take us behind the scenes of one of Disney's most iconic attractions, from how the ride actually operates to what it's like working backstage at Disneyland. He shares some seriously wild ride secrets, including how Cast Members can see you in the dark, how ride operators rotate through different positions, what it was like working on Galaxy's Edge, and why Pirates is one of the best places to work at Disneyland.

We break down Jack Sparrow, Barbossa, Elizabeth Swann, the Black Pearl, the iconic score, the movie's incredible sets and locations, and why Curse of the Black Pearl somehow managed to turn a Disney theme park attraction into a genuinely great blockbuster. We also put it through the IQ Test to find out whether it earns its place as a Staple, Stapleist, or Quack.

Plus: Gary Sinise's eyeliner, the world's most confusing Jack Sparrow impression, Kyle's ongoing war against Jar Jar Binks, and a whole lot of pirate nonsense.
