Movie Preview: Public Domain “Popeye?” “Shiver Me Timbers,” the Red Band Trailer

So this is a hard-R rated trailer for the kiddie cartoon hero Popeye the Sailor Man, a character that moved into the public domain — like Winnie the Pooh, et al — and is now up for grabs for a little silly exploitation film.

“Shiver Me Timbers” features “Popeye the Slayer Man” and was made by a bunch of folks who like splatter films, with a dash and sex and drugs. And don’t know how to pronounce “Halley’s Comet.”
