What Ho...A Rat!!

Rey and Mikey finish off Act I of Shakespeare's The Tempest. Rey has some concerns about the needless complexity of Prospero's plan, and someone wears a 'nymph outfit', whatever that is.

Rey and Mikey begin discussing Act I of The Tempest. There is a shipwreck, and a wizard, and some magic shit, and the liberal arts. Rey discusses the beheading of Magellan, which has not been fact-checked.

Rey and Mikey discuss chapter 4 of Don Quixote, in which our hero fails to right a wrong and then gets his ass beat.

Derril attempts to sort out some technical difficulties as Don Quixote finally receives the order of knighthood. Rey and Mikey continue to consider the ethical dimensions of gelding. 

Rey and Mikey attempt to discuss chapter 2 of Don Quixote, but are waylaid by a lengthy discussion about animal husbandry.

Mikey embarks on the unlikely between-seasons project of presenting the entirety of Don Quixote to Rey, one chapter at a time. Rey provides advice for household management and cultivating late-in-life viral success.

Here it is, folks: the conclusion of Rey and Mikey's discussion of A Midsummer Night's Dream, covering all of Act 5. The mechanicals are finally putting on their ridiculous, shitty play for Duke Theseus and the young lovers, and afterwards everybody is finally going to get laid while the fairies watch, which we must assume wasn't creepy in the Elizabethan era. 

Rey and Mikey discuss Act IV of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Have you ever woken up and had to piece together all the crazy shit you did the night before? Rey and Mikey have, and so will Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius, and Helena, in this penultimate episode of our series on Midsummer.

Rey and Mikey discuss the unintended side effects of the 'love juice' in this entire episode devoted to Act III, Scene 2 of A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is basically the part of the play where everything falls to shit. There will be sword fights, mud-wrestling virgins, and naked invisible voyeurs watching the whole thing go down. 

Rey and Mikey are still in the woods, and things keep getting more fucked up for the lost young lovers of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Act II Scene 2 and Act 3 Scene 1 are discussed in exhaustive, digressive detail. I'd list some of the funny shit in this episode, but I actually don't remember what we talked about. And I just listened to it last night, which is disturbing. Either there's something wrong with me or this episode just isn't very memorable. I'm sure Rey says funny things and Mikey does his silly fairy voices.
