So generally when we get these classes, Samba shares BTS info. This is what I could write down when I wasn't making the Mac.

Questions:
What was the longest scene to film?
First episode of Stede going down the steps talking about "mentally devastated". They were spending a lot of time riffing and figuring out the characters.They asked everyone to make something up-- Roach said: "First you skin them alive"- eachSwede - "First you keep it in side, and then you go home, and then you take it out on your loved ones"
In S2 = The torture scene took the longest to film. Samson and Roach had those clamps on their head the whole time (multiple days of shooting and it sucked)Rhys pulled his shoulder being tied to the mast.Vico and Madeline were nauseous from laying with their feet up in the air for so long.Con and Kristian were tied together, and Samba was saying how con came up to Kristians knee (affectionately)"
What was the story behind the first run of Stede being glammed up by the crew and the sexual tension (before calypsos birthday was written).
Wee John was gonna glam up Stede, add eye shadow, give him a makeover - pierced earring, wear a low cut shirt, and then Blackbeard would notice him-- but then they all decided that it would be better that Blackbeard and Stede bond over this scene of Stede coming into his pirate captainness (or the trauma from it)
More BTS:
- The cast hadn't worked together before (except like Rhys and Taika, David Fane and Taika, and Sampson and Joel)
- Apparently Samson almost killed them when he threw a sword up in the air. They decided after that the guys wouldn't be doing any major battle scenes or stunts."You can do yardies that's as far as you go"
- They didn't get to learn too much ship work, besides belaying, that's why it always looks like people are just like mopping or hammering in the background.Samba, Kristian, and Nathan wanted to practice throwing rope in the water to save people,Kristian threw it like Hodor,Nathan threw it "GAY" (and he has a video-- but didn't say anything about sharing it)
Talked about making the dish in New Zealand for Rhys and the cast:
He did a lot of impressions of Con, and said "Oh Con, didn't see you there" Looking at the floor"
"This is delicious, how much cheese is in this?" - Con
"Hey! Stop kicking me!" - Samba"
"15 Cups"- Samba
"15 cups!?" - Con, and then Samba said he just had to pick Con up and calm him down.
"Ok put him in the corner!" - Samba
(All of this said affectionately)
Mermaid Jizz
People asked about Mermaid Jizz in chat, and the ASL Interpreter was being very good at interpreting things (Berto is the man!)
Funnily enough, apparently this wasn't the raunchiest chat, Felicia Day had people talking about lightning bolts coming out of their Anus, and Berto said something like "nothing can top Jewel"
We need this story Berto. Please.
Silly Pronunciations:
Co-Land-Err, and Pap-Ree-cah
Dirty Jokes While Talking about the dish:
- "You want it to be nice and sticky like Lucius' Sheets"
- "Nice and coated, like blackbeard on calypsos birthday, and the inn happening right now"
- "Gentle and easy, like the gentleman pirate"
- "Moist, Lucius' favorite word"
Love being sent to all of us:
We need to band together and support each other. Thank you for supporting the LA food bank, it means a lot to Samba personally.
Love Conquers all
Cast and Fans are Bonded for eternity
"You and I we are like Lucius and Black Pete. Nothing can keep us apart-- or not, never mind that's too sticky".
Love to everyone, he is not leaving twitter because actors HAVE to have multiple socials-- but he'll look into if he can hop onto BlueSky
