82 - Henry V

We're finally here, at the end (or is it?) - tackling a biggie: HAMLET, THE PRINCE OF DENMARK. Join us, Marilyn, in the (as of this moment) series finale, where we choose "Not to Be" and go out on a high note on this Best Picture-winning classic from the Bard and Larry Olivvy!

This week, the Tiemstra Bros discuss another overlooked Frank Capra film: Arsenic and Old Lace! Did we really enjoy this goofy dark comedy, or did we find its shenanigans too hard to swallow? That's the tease, just watch the episode!

Spoiler alert for Hereditary (2018). Yes, that does make sense in context. Buckle in fellas as we dive into some early proto-feminism in the form of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, specifically the *really* hard to find adaptation from 1973 with David Warner and Jane Fonda (with a brief mention of the... other 1973 adaptation which features Anthony Hopkins and Claire Bloom). Yeah, it's confusing. And feminist. Woo! Also Matt talks about the Mabou Mines production, but forgets the name of the company.

Tennessee Williams strikes again! This time with a film version he hated! In this episode, The Tiemstra Bros. discuss how the film preserves so many surface level parts of the source material... while not quite understanding why Williams hated it so much.

Meredith Wilson's 1957 classic won the hearts of America, but will its 1962 adaptation pull a fast one 57 years later? Join the Tiemstra Bros. as they delve into what might be a timeless classic, or might be a 2 and a half hour re-staging of the original piece with the barest hint of a change. Or...BOTH?!?!

We thought it was high time to cover a good Kenneth Branagh film after that strange mess that was Love's Labours Lost. So this week, we discuss the film that introduced us to that delightful slab of Northern Irish Ham: Henry V! Next Episode, we're going for a march with 76 trombones in The Music Man!

"What are they gonna do? We're all crazy." Join us this time as the Tiemstra Bros. dive into a Pacific northwest asylum to talk one of the "Greatest films of all time"! Does the film still hold up? What is the play like? Why did the novelist sue the production? And why did they spoil the Shining about halfway through?

This time, the Tiemstra Bros. tackle an endlessly trip rock opera adaptation that is as strange as the original album was revolutionary! You may ask what legendary band will be the one we tackle this time? All we can say is: the Who's on first.

What is the 39 Steps? A wildly successful film from 1935 AND a wildly successful play from 2005! But how do they differ? Join the Tiemstra Brothers in this episode to find out! CONTACT THE SHOW: [email protected] hosted by Robert Tiemstra (@The_Timestar) and Matthew Tiemstra (@ClockworkPlay) If you live in the LA area, Robert's short film is showing at the Pasadena International Film Festival on March 14th!

This Oscar season, we're taking a shallow dive into a film that has been made 4 TIMES (and that's only counting English Language Hollywood adaptations). We watched 3 of them back to back, so if we sound a little sleep deprived, this is why. Next, week, we're going to take 39 Steps into the world of Alfred Hitchcock...
