Sent us a text, you dicks!!
Oh dear listeners.....

We are truly bummed. The world has lost a major light, a star, a talent without compare, a "National Treasure," as King Charles said.

Dame Margaret Natalie Smith passed away on September 27, 2024 at the ripe old age of 89.

This is our heartfelt tribute.

We love you, Maggie - rest well. And make some amazing art with all your compatriots in the hereafter!!!

August 23, 2024 Emma Thompson Shakespeare!!
Sent us a text, you dicks!!
Sooooooo..... not only is Emma Thompson a brilliant actor and wonderful human being, but she is the one who told Leda (Owen's wife) and Lisa Ann, in a bathroom in London after having seen that stunning As You Like It that we've talked so much about...

"Theatre is supposed to reduce you to rubble!"

Heaven knows this fabulous woman has done that SOOOOO many times in her career.

We love her!!!!!

August 09, 2024 Judi Dench Shakespeare!!
Sent us a text, you dicks!!
In the last couple of months, we've delved into some of the most well-known Shakespearean actors. All of them male.

It's time to shift the focus!!!!! In this episode, we rush headlong into the female side of this category - and who better to start with than herself, Dame Judi Dench???

(Sounds of Owen and Lisa Ann bowing and scraping.)

Literally (like the title of her recent book!), Shakespeare was the man who paid her rent!!!

Yaasssss, Queen!!!!!

Owen went to England!!!

WITHOUT LA!!!! (Fuss, fuss, fuss. Ah well.)

In this episode, we discuss all the cool and not so cool things that Owen saw in the UK this time around (including several Shakespeares of differing appeal, to be sure).

And also... we drop some excellent pod news!!!!

Okay, so.... third time's a charm!! Isn't that what they say??

June 28, 2024 McKellen Shakespeare!!
Sent us a text, you dicks!!
We had so much fun discussing Sir Kenneth Branagh last time that we thought we'd dig into even more ridiculously talented Shakespearean actors!!

So this time... we're going with Sir Ian McKellen!

(Another knight... are you sensing a theme here?? We certainly are!!)

June 14, 2024 Branagh Shakespeare!!
Sent us a text, you dicks!!
Now, you knew we'd get into this sooner or later. There are those actors who are known for their work with The Bard.

Kenneth is one of those. In this episode, we discuss all the work he has done in the canon - SO FAR.

We've got YEARS (hopefully!!) of more work coming from this incredible artist!!!
