Iszi Lawrence, comedian, podcaster and history presenter rates portrayals of pirates in four Hollywood movies. Iszi worked on the Netflix documentary 'The Lost Pirate Kingdom' and is the author of Blackbeard's Treasure, a tale set in the eighteenth century during the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean. Iszi first reviews scenes from 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl' (2003). She thinks Johnny Depp's portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow as a 'rockstar' is accurate, given contemporary perceptions of pirate captains. Next, she looks at modern piracy in 'Captain Phillips' (2013), which recreates the true story of the Maersk Alabama hijacking by Somali pirates. Scenes from the classic film 'Treasure Island' (1950) are broken down next. Robert Newton's version of Long John Silver, with his distinct West Country accent, has been credited with creating the archetypal pirate for modern film. Finally, Iszi reviews more humorous depictions of pirates in 'Muppet Treasure Island' (1996), starring Tim Curry as Long John Silver.
