🎙️ This Week on a very special Pass, Pirate, Pay
We’re heading for high altitudes and low morals with Mountainhead, Jesse Armstrong’s HBO satire about four tech bros trapped in a luxury chalet while the world burns (because of them). Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, and Ramy Youssef lead this dark, weirdly funny spiral into AI, ego, and snowbound insanity. Is it biting social commentary or just a bunch of billionaires being weird in the woods? We break it down and ask the big question—Pass, Pirate… or Pay?

We dive into three very different slices of the Stephen King cinematic universe — the prison epic The Shawshank Redemption, the haunted sequel Doctor Sleep, and the meditative mind-bender The Life of Chuck. From hope and horror to heartache and hallucinations, we’re breaking down which of these adaptations are worth your time… and which ones should’ve stayed buried in Derry.

Will we Pass, Pirate, or Pay? Tune in and find out — redrum not required.

🎃 This week on Pass, Pirate, Pay, Ken and Andy creep down the haunted hallway of horror cinema—where the floorboards creak with trauma and the wallpaper is peeling in dread. First up is 1985's House, the gonzo ghost-fest where Vietnam flashbacks share a two-bedroom with flying garden tools. Then we check into His House, a bone-chilling blend of immigration drama and supernatural terror—because trauma always finds a way to follow you home. And finally, we stumble into the abyss with Skinamarink, where logic evaporates, doors vanish, and your childhood nightmares get director credits.

Are these haunted homes worth the price of admission? Or should you just ghost them?

🎙️ Pass, Pirate, Pay dives deep into the neon-lit VHS vault for Forgotten '80s Favorites! This week, Ken and Andy are joined by longtime pal and pop culture savant Danny Jackson to revisit three offbeat gems that deserve a rewind.

We’ve got Lucas (1986), the tender teen heartbreaker that made us all protective of Corey Haim and suspicious of jocks. Then it’s Cloak & Dagger (1984), a spy-kid fantasy with enough paranoia and Atari propaganda to keep your inner child thrilled and confused. Finally, we hit the surf with Back to the Beach (1987), the campy musical reunion of Frankie and Annette that nobody asked for—but somehow totally rules.

Dust off your shoulder pads, fire up your Betamax, and get ready to decide if these throwbacks are worth your time—or should stay forgotten.

🎶 It’s Ken and Andy, they’re ready to say… if a flick’s worth your cash or a piratey play!

Saddle up and keep your trigger fingers loose—Ken and Andy are riding back into the wild, weird West! This week on Pass, Pirate, Pay, the fellas tackle the dusty trail of The Cowboys (1972), where John Wayne herds up some preteen ranch hands; the grisly horror-western Bone Tomahawk, where things get downright cannibalistic; and the brand-new frontier slow-burn Rust (2025), a film with a production saga nearly as dramatic as its plot. Expect shootouts, side-eyes, and saddle sores as we decide: is it worth your gold, or should you just rustle up a torrent?

🦇🕺💉 This week on Pass, Pirate, Pay, we’re throwin' on our capes and creepin’ through the crypt of Black vampire cinema! First up, the OG fang daddy himself in Blackula 🧛🏿—smooth, spooky, and rocking a velvet collar. Then we hit the streets with Vampire in Brooklyn 🕷️, where Eddie Murphy does everything (including the wigs). And finally, we dig into the indie cult madness of Sinners 🎤🩸—twin brothers, a juke joint, and oh yeah... vampires.

Is it sexy? Scary? Campy as hell? Yes. 😈 Tune in, sharpen your teeth, and find out if these bloodsuckers are worth a Pass, a Pirate, or a full-on Pay.

This week, Ken and Andy reach deep into the cinematic grab bag and pull out three wildly different flicks for your reviewing pleasure in an episode we’re calling… Mixed Bag.

🌀 Twisted (2004) – Ashley Judd, Samuel L. Jackson, and Andy Garcia star in this forgotten thriller that gets our full “Better Than Gigli?” treatment. Spoiler: the bar is low, but the laughs are high.
🕵️‍♂️ Black Bag – A slick, shadowy espionage flick that tries to stay one step ahead of the audience. Does it succeed, or get lost in its own spycraft?
🎮 A Minecraft Movie – The blocky video game behemoth finally hits the big screen. But does it mine for cinematic gold or fall into a pit of pixels?

Three movies. Zero connection. One question: Pass, Pirate, or Pay?

Tune in for chaos, critique, and a few curveballs—now streaming wherever you get your podcasts.
