Film Broads

Let's just do a nice one this time. Twins, fools, and handsome boys abound.

We're back with Falstaff, everyone's favorite sot who just wouldn't stay dead. Romantic misadventures abound in Windsor, where there is apparently a thriving cultural tradition of tricking everyone that they know.

We're journeying back into the annals of Roman history. Hie you and look, there goes John Gielgud... twice?

Olivier's first Shakesperian role on film vs. Branagh's last time directing Shakespeare for the screen. Which one will take the day? The answer may not surprise you.

We're at the end of the Henriad, and it's going out with a bang. That's right, we have another heavyweight match between Olivier and Branagh. Who will take the day at the battle of Agincourt?

One of these films didn't quite live up to the material. Guess which one.

Part 1 promised a thrilling conclusion and we got... well, something. Kind of a bummer, actually. Of course, this is just the middle of the trilogy so we can forgive it. At least we got more Hiddleston!

It's a tale of two Harrys. We're back in the histories, but this one is actually just good (promise!). Grab a capon and a cup of sack and settle in.

Three trousers parts, unorthodox legal documents and a whole lot of bigotry---what could it be but The Merchant of Venice? We're doing our best with this one, y'all.TW: Antisemitism, racism

It's now year two with the Bard, and we're kicking it off with a play that it's very possible you have never heard of. Who the heck is King John, and what does he have to do with the 1960s???
