Happy Halloween month! This month, we're going for a theme of covering macabre and spooky plays & musicals! For our first entry in this series: Young Frankenstein!

Young Frankenstein the movie is a solid gold comedy classic from 1974. Young Frankenstein the musical also exists. Let's talk about it.

We didn't plan it this way, but we're now discussing our third Romeo & Juliet adaptation! This time, we're discussing the 2014 film starring Hailee Steinfeld and Douglas Booth, adapted dreadfully by the creator of Downtown Abbey himself, Julian Fellowes!

Next week, we're kicking off our Halloween month with Young Frankenstein!!!

Straight from the 2014 Tony Awards comes an HBO-produced showcase in the (Walter) White house, where he struggles to give Falcon the right to vote, amongst other politics-y stuff! Also included are discussions on where presidents come from, politicians in cinema, and your normal soupçon of trivia straight from your very own Tiemstra Brothers!

In this political and trivia-laden episode, the Tiemstra Bros. delve into a relic of times past with no modern-day similarities whatsoever (sarcasm), to deliver you nothing but the best in ridiculous digressions, speculation on historical resonance, some grandstanding, and at least one reference to Rocky IV. Enjoy! Edited by Matthew Tiemstra (@ClockworkPlay) Co-Hosted by Robert Tiemstra (@The_Timestar)

A first for this show, we're reviewing a film that went from the screen to the stage, and then BACK TO THE SCREEN! In this special episode of Bros Before Shows, we tackle all 3 versions of Hairspray: The 1988 film by John Waters, the 2003 Musical Adaptation of that film, and the 2007 film adaptation of that musical.

Also, we talk about racism and stuffs. It's fun.

We're taking ourselves back to the 19th century (specifically its gender roles) with August Strindberg's corked wine of a 'masterpiece' MISS JULIE! Thrill as the Tiemstra Bros. figure out how many different ways we can say misogyny, and struggle to figure out whether this film works as a deconstruction of...itself?

Aaaaand the Tiemstra Bros. are back with an analysis of Sugar, the musical adaptation of the Billy Wilder/Marilyn Monroe classic Some Like It Hot! As we meander through horrible impressions, fascinating trivia, and a ton of jet-lag, we answer: does this farce make the transition well or does it receive the fuzzy end of the adaptation lollipop?

Wonder why there was no episode this week? Well...

"I've always depended on the kindness of strangers" - a famous quote from this play & film, or our marketing strategy for this podcast?

This week, we're talking some Brando and Leigh with the classic stage to screen version of Tennessee Williams' play 'A Streetcar Named Desire'!
