These banked episodes with miles are a treat!
Biting your thumb is only as absurd as deciding that the middle finger is ruuuude
Garret said he wanted a reverse version where the setting is old and the dialogue is modern. I recommend the movie “Rosaline”. It’s the Romeo and Juliet story told from Rosaline’s POV. It’s also a much sillier take on the story.
I saw this movie at the movie theater as a kid and was immediately hooked. It wasn't until I was in high school when I found out this version is the most accurate text to book of all the film adaptations.
I agree R+J is a cautionary tale more than a wonderful romance, but I always thought it wasn't necessarily, or at least not primarily, a lesson for teenagers not to be angsty. But rather a lesson to the families: to not be so hateful and egotistical and stuck in your ways that you'll let something as precious your own kids die, and for what? It was supposed to be a wanton, senseless, ridiculous waste. I guess that's a lesson for teens to take a chill pill too, but there's clearly a moral for everyone there. The adults in this situation are the ones responsible for carrying on the feud over generations to the point where it was just some rote hateful tradition that perpetuated cycles of violence on and on. Even if Romeo and Juliet were dumb and horny, they at least had the virtue of being somewhat able to see beyond the binary and years of tradition... I mean, until Romeo kills his beloved's cousin, I guess. Boys will be boys?
"this is for the teacher that doesn't want you to have to read it" my 8th grade English class experience right there haha
I see what you did there Kelsey! Official petition for y'all to cover Tuck Everlasting on the pod!
Very sadly, Quindon Tarver, the boy who sang the choral version of "When Doves Cry" passed away in 2021 😢 His version was absolutely beautiful and heart-wrenching
In my 9th grade honors English class, we watched the 1968 version, this version, and finally Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. My teacher saw her opportunity and coasted.
Kelsey I love ya girl, but let Garrick finish a sentence, sis!
Kelsey’s reciting in the beginning is so good 😂
miles is so right, it wasn’t until i watched andrew scott perform and it was the first time made sense and i connected to the script he was amazing
zach's rant about the poison scene made me feel so seen, like I had ranted it myself. I was so mad during freshman english when we watched this, I was in the classroom literally just like 'SAY SOMETHING'
I gotta correct Zachs point about shakespeare making up words and his original audiences not understanding either. Sure, to an extent, but his original audiences would have understood his word choices way more than we do because it was common vernacular set to iambic pentameter and other beats, in the same way that rap is common language set to a beat and rhythm. We don't understand shakespeare as easily just like a person from the 1500s would have a hard time understanding a modern rap. It's also similar to how when you read German or Dutch as an English speaker you have no idea what they're saying but if you watch enough films you start picking out the similarities and you can feel the feelings behind the words, as everyone likes to say about Shakespeare. He didn't intend for people to just vaguely understand the words and get a feeling from the plays, he intended for as many people as possible to fully comprehend the jokes and understand the language. It's just a different language from modern English so it's harder for us. But at the time, Shakespeare's writing was actually really clever but still common vernacular of the time. Just like we automatically understand when someone says "he has rizz" given the context even though it's a new word, a member of Shakespeare's original audience would be able to understand what a "bedroom" (invented by Shakespeare for A Midsummer Night's Dream) was based on the context.

The way I remember it, it was the way he wrote. It made it easy for the wealthy to be entertained and the commoners to understand. Another thing when his plays were analysed and studied they found these hidden rules within the plays. I don't remember well, but it has to do with sentence structure. He was basically the blueprint for poems because in his writing there were hidden rules, but it packes a punch for literature buffs.
So Garrick wants Romeo and Juliet made like The Great... Im here for it

Yes! Give Harold Perrineau his flowers! 👏
As an Australian I find it hilarious that y'all are pronouncing his name all fancy like "Baaaahz" 😂
