Gemma Allred joins host Stephanie Crugnola on this week's episode to chat about three Hallmark style Christmas rom-coms based on Shakespeare plays! We watched The Spruces and the Pines (A StarCrossed Christmas), Rodeo and Juliet (My Christmas Pony), and Much Ado About Christmas! You can find them all streaming on Peacock!

Let us know what you think of these films on Facebook (/p2mpod), instagram, Twitter (@p2mpod), and now TikTok!

Special thanks to our new network: Serious Business for bringing us on board and giving us the space to discuss such an important element of Shakespearean Theatre. Check out their other two shows Adventure Incorporated (an actual play DnD 5e podcast) and Ask The Pokedexpert (a highly academic question and answer podcast/stream about Pokemon)!
