In their first Character episode, Jack and Molly draw back the curtain on HAMLET's Polonius, terrible royal advisor, and even worse father. And one of the most-quoted characters in Shakespeare, and possibly the English language. We're doing some serious (and not so serious) harping on this dude. 

Jack and Molly take a stab at their first Scene episode, with the famous assassination in act three of Shakespeare's possibly bro-iest play, Julius Caesar. Brutus and Cassius really messed this one up, folks. Related: Vote for Gretchen Wieners for Spring Fling Queen!

Molly and Jack serve up a special episode of Party Bard -- henceforth known as a "surprise party" -- and in it they discuss a one-of-a-kind adaptation of Hamlet. The adaptation is 88 minutes long, was shot in 3 days, has condensed the play to take place in one house over the course of one night, and is very good for what it is. 

In the first full episode of Party Bard, Molly and Jack dig into a brilliant adaptation of one of their least favorite Shakespeare plays, Taming of the Shrew. That adaptation is 10 Things I Hate About You, a teen rom com set in a California high school in the late 1990s that is as progressive as its source material is disquieting.
