'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.

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?
