  1. I'm not entirely sure where the sea shanty TikTok is coming from, tho I love them all. Allow me to recommend to you, then, the sea shanty-ist of films, a great little Prime exclusive that can satisfy your needs for shantys, mysteries AND Margo Martindale letterboxd.com/film/blow-the-man-down/

        It's a great little film with some great performances and lovely singing and as far as I can tell it was totally missed by everyone. But I really like it. So you should check it out amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B08CS4K94T/ref=atv_dl_rdr?tag=justusqxg9-20
