Rusty Cutlass

With their genesis at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando, FL, Rusty Cutlass has turned into one of the premiere pirate bands on the Southeast pirate fest scene.

First we talk with Mark Miller aka Nasty Nate about his career with Disney, how Rusty Cutlass got started, pirate jokes, and concertinas.

Then we’ll pop over to one of the resorts and catch Ken Thiboult (Pepe Duval) and Dean Rasik (Dirty John Dirk) between sets. They tell us how they got involved with Disney, how the group chooses material, and about Ken’s practical jokes.

Geoff Zanelli, Composer of Pirates of the Caribbean 5
I’m super excited to bring you Geoff Zanelli today! Geoff wrote the musical score for Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales. He’s also credited with “additional music” on the first four POTC films. We talk about what that means (and it means way more than it sounds like).

Plus we’ll dig into how he went about capturing some of the POTC1 feel while still bringing his own voice to this new score. And how he got in with Hans Zimmer after his years growing up in Orange County and going to the Berklee School of Music.

This is such a fun talk and Geoff’s enthusiasm for the Pirates of the Caribbean films is infectious!

If you’re new to the show, here are a few other episodes you might like to check out as a starting point.

For More Pirates of the Caribbean

Ep 25 – Jim Byrkit – Storyboard artist and location scout for early POTC films

Ep 31 – Jason Surrell – Former Disney Imagineer and expert on all things POTC from the rides to the films

Ep 74 – Lee Arenberg – Pintel from first 3 POTC films

Other Cool Episodes

Ep 7 – Don Maitz – Painter and creator of Captain Morgan Rum character

Ep 27/28 – John Chatterton – wreck diver and one of the few people to ever find a sunken pirate ship
