'Hamnet' Is Shakespeare As You've Never Seen Him Before I've always hated Shakespeare with a passion. Why watch a play if you can't understand what the characters are saying? Hamnet changed that for good. Not only is the movie sure to be nominated in every...

HAMNET isn't a traditional Shakespeare biopic and it's all the better for it. His art has never felt more alive or more relevant.

They've only been wrong twice:
1. When they said POPEYE was a bad movie. It is objectively an amazing movie on all levels.
2. When they said SHREK was a good movie - and even did a double episode about it. It's dumb and why are there so many sequels!
Other than that, wonderful podcast!

A Christmas Carol, Interstellar, and The Cosmic Redemption of Time What do Christopher Nolan, Charles Dickens, and T. S. Eliot have in common?

Wonderful piece from @artwithin.bsky.social over at @TheRabbitRoom connecting INTERSTELLAR, A Christmas Carol, TS Eliot and incarnation. "The reality of love still provides an opportunity to redeem what was once thought to be forever broken." www.rabbitroom.com/post/a-chris...

Nice little post about GLADIATOR 2 from #NewTestament scholar @nijaykgupta.bsky.social nijaykgupta.substack.com/p/the-roman-... His final word on the matter: "Watch the film, enjoy it for entertainment, and don’t be a history snob."

Watched a lot of Jane Austen adaptations with my wife over the holiday break. The only question I kept asking was "Why is there no Austen-verse?" All of these stories and characters should have been connected. Missed opportunity, Jane.
