For our Valentine's Day show, we relitigate an ancient (mid-90s) grudge, which breaks to new mutiny. Flixwise newcomers Jacob Mertens and Erica Moulton head up opposite households in the Shakespearean adaptation universe.Jacob, who hails from the House of Baz, believes that Luhrmann's 1996 cultural touchstone, Romeo + Juliet is one of the greatest movies of all time. Erica, of the House of Skeptics, thinks that Baz's formal flourishes don't do justice to the original text. Host, Lady P plays referee as these two argue over whether or not this adaptation is worthy of canonization. Expect quarreling, drawn swords, and lots of swooning over young-Leo DiCaprio.
Many thanks to friend of the show, Ma Narizza dela Cerna for the lovely intro.
