Michael LoPresti of Rogues Armada
Michael LoPresti is one of the earliest Jack Sparrow impersonators and coordinator of the Rogues Armada, a worldwide consortium of pirate entertainers.

We dig into how the group came together and what everyone gets out of it. And we dive into the Jack Sparrow biz and how it’s changed since he got into it. And, of course, some good hilarious “road stories”. 🙂

David Magee Screenwriter of Finding Neverland

David Magee is the screenwriter of the fantastic movies Finding Neverland and Life of Pi. He’s also working on the new Mary Poppins and Narnia films.

I’m a nut for anything Peter Pan/Captain Hook related, so this talk with David is really fun. We get into J.M. Barrie’s life during the creation of Peter Pan and how David did his research. We talk plenty of Captain Hook and how he fits into the story of both Peter Pan and Barrie’s life.

And we had to talk some Life of Pi too! It was a notoriously difficult book to adapt until David and Ang Lee got their hands on it. We’ll dip our toes into Mary Poppins and Narnia too.
