Popeye Meets Sindbad!

I’ve never been a big Popeye guy, but Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor is so my jam:

Soon after saving enough money for my first VCR ($200, if I recall), I bought some random Popeye tape… probably because it was the only one I could afford with what remained of my savings.

On it was this famous short from 1936, which I ended up watching dozens if not hundreds of times. It was just one of those tapes that I always threw on, and came to enjoy as background noise.

My fascination was mostly because of Sindbad’s island, which was like a cross between Skull Island and a traveling sideshow. Just this mad world where monsters ran rampant.

Enjoy!

Tonight’s survey:

Name a show, movie or video you’ve seen a million times even if you don’t necessarily identify as a “big fan” of it.
