In 2012, Wade and Emmet met and quickly became best friends. From very early on, Wade knew one surprising fact: that Emmet loved the movie Australia.

The Cinema Bums are joined by Austin Spero (aka Reese Havoc) to discuss Baz Luhrmann's second film, the extravagantly titled William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. This high school English class favorite is a monument to the 1990's, maximalism, and a young Leonardo DiCaprio. Does it still hold up today?
