Episode 74: S05 E07: Millennial Shakespeare

Richard and Greg review three Shakespearean films made either side of the year 2000. Shakespeare is known for raising the Big Questions – and this episode is no exception. Which of our podcasters is the worse at trying to sound Shakespearean? Are they better or worse than American actors at this? Are podcasts like the theatre, where the Scottish Play must not be mentioned by name? And (most importantly of all) what DID Shakespeare have against Norway?
