Episode Summary

112 - It's been a long time coming, but we have finally done it, The wives of the show (Ara & Carol) join us on the pod this week to break down an iconic 1990s retelling of a 1590s classic. From the soundtrack to the aesthetic; from the guns and cars to Leo and his floppy hair; from Paul Rudd dancing to Paul Sorvino getting angry at people - this movie truly had something for everybody. So please join is as we break down the origin story behind this movie, the 90s neo-Shakespeare resurgence it kicked off, and of course, decide how this film holds up in 2021.
