It's now year two with the Bard, and we're kicking it off with a play that it's very possible you have never heard of. Who the heck is King John, and what does he have to do with the 1960s???
One year of Shakespeare come and gone, and to celebrate we're giving ourselves and you a little treat: we're talking Hamlet. It's not just any matchup, either. Today it's Branagh vs. Olivier, no holds barred. Who's the real prince of Denmark, and who is a quintessence of dust?
Heads up... the audio is real rough on this one. Sorry. We're comparing two versions of the play that makes people say, "wait, there was a Richard II?"
Romeo and Juliet is great--who'da thunk! But there's a lot to unpack in the two most famous film adaptations, and in the play itself.Zeffirelli article on Vulture: https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://www.vulture.com/article/romeo-juliet-olivia-hussey-leonard-whiting-paramount-lawsuit.html#google_vignetteHistorical hose: https://rowantreeworkshop.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/02/Mens-medieval-hose-1.jpg
We may have gone a bit overboard on this one. In our defense, come on. It's A Midsummer Night's Dream! Content warning: excessive ranting about Mickey Rooney.
We didn't know anything about it either, but hey! It's a comedy! This is also the entrance of our man Kenny B to the podcast, and you really have to see it to believe it.
If it has so many errors, why didn't he just get an editor (I apologize immediately)? This is a wacky one, and each version has its own interesting celebrity cast member with differing degrees of likelihood. It's time for double trouble in Ephesus!
We're getting into the real stuff, folks. Come enjoy the antics of the man who was so evil everyone decided to chuck the whole royal family and start over from scratch.
The tragedy has landed! And oh buddy, what a tragedy it is. Luckily, there are a couple of actually good filmed versions of it. Trigger warning for basically everything.
We're back in comedy land, and this one is arguably less sexist than the last one! Though that might just be because it's mostly about dudes. You might have heard the title, but we bet dollars to donuts you couldn't tell us a thing about it. There are reasons why.
The trilogy ends here! Bigger battles! More stabbings! Tom Sturridge naked in a field! You don't want to miss the shocking conclusion to the Wars of the Roses!
Ok, jumping into the deep end already, huh? We discover why people don't stage the Henry VI trilogy, but also why we sort of wish they would.
We did it. It took a hell of a long time but we got through this filmography that, to say nothing else of it, was never boring. We discussed the 2 seasons of Sense8, and put ourselves through the torture once again of final rankings. We have big news about what's next for us, so listen to the end for that!
After an 18 year wait, Lana gave us the Matrix sequel we never thought we would get. The question is, can you go back (back to the matrix)?
The last film the Wachowskis made before giving television a try, and the first film since the Matrix trilogy not to be an adaptation. It's really, actually good y'all. Please give it a chance.
We will be back after the December 22 release of The Matrix Resurrections!
The Wachowskis continued their rampage through Hollywood with the supposedly unfilmable Cloud Atlas. So... how did it turn out? It's complicated.
Watch out, we're driving the car around and no one can stop us. We love this crazy movie, and we want you to love it too.
We find ourselves in a new kind of dystopia. This one is also pretty queer though, tbh. Technically not directed by Lana and Lilly, this season still wouldn't be complete without V for Vendetta (for better or worse...).
It was the biggest film franchise in the world. How were they going to end it? And, more importantly, how queer was it going to be?
Four years later, the Wachowskis followed up their runaway hit with a sequel, and the internet exploded. But how trans is it?
