S5E15 Henry IV Part 1 - THE SHAKE UP
It's a tale of two Harrys. We're back in the histories, but this one is actually just good (promise!). Grab a capon and a cup of sack and settle in.
The Merchant of Venice - THE SHAKE UP
Three trousers parts, unorthodox legal documents and a whole lot of bigotry---what could it be but The Merchant of Venice? We're doing our best with this one, y'all.TW: Antisemitism, racism
S5E13 King John - THE SHAKE UP
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???
S5E12 Hamlet (Round 1)
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…
S5E11 Richard II - THE SHAKE UP
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?"
S5E10 Romeo and Juliet - THE SHAKE UP
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:…
S5E9 A Midsummer Night's Dream - THE SHAKE UP
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.
S5E8 Love's Labour's Lost - THE SHAKE UP
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.
S5E7 The Comedy of Errors - THE SHAKE UP
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…
S5E6 Richard III - THE SHAKE UP
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.
S5E5 Titus Andronicus - THE SHAKE UP
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.
S5E4 The Two Gentlemen of Verona - THE SHAKE UP
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…
S5E3 Henry VI Part 3 - THE SHAKE UP
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!
S5E2 Henry VI Parts 1 & 2 - THE SHAKE UP
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.
The Taming of the Shrew - THE SHAKE UP
The Shake Up has officially begun! We're starting with two adaptations of The Taming of the Shrew: Sam Taylor's film from 1929 and Franco Zeffirelli's from 1967.
The Shake Up - Series Trailer
Prithee attend! The Shake Up is coming January 29, 2025. We're comparing film adaptations of Shakespeare plays from the first to the last. Come for the bawdy jokes, stay for the pathos. It's going…
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) - GRAIL QUEST
The journey has come to an end (because we simply can't do this any longer. That's how the grail quest ended, right?). Let's send it off with our most requested episode ever! In January, get ready…
Lovespell (1981) - GRAIL QUEST
Hallelujah, a serviceable film. Better than serviceable, it's actually pretty good! It looks like someone actually got Tristan and Isolde right, during a very big year for Arthuriana on film.
October 32nd (1992) - GRAIL QUEST
Thus concludes our last, torturous October on this Grail Quest, and it truly is the worst yet. All apologies to everyone who worked hard on this film, but listener, you should never, ever watch it.…
Sword of the Valiant (1984) - GRAIL QUEST
We're not going to call it a good movie, but the bar is so low at this point. We had a good time and we can't ask for much more than that.
