Cinematic Shakespeare

Welcome, dear friends, to Films and Fermentation,

Where cinema meets wit and bold libation.

This week we dare to tread where few have gone,

Through Shakespeare’s tales now cast on silver screen.

From star-cross’d lovers doomed by hasty hearts,

To kings undone by whispers in the dark,

We ask: doth Hollywood do justice fair,

Or twist the Bard for box office delight?

Fear not, for we shall mock and praise alike,

With jest and ale, we romp with classics alight. 🎭🍻

Thank you to everybody who's been following Leo Runs from Cryptids on TikTok and YouTube. Please check that out as well and follow me. And uh let's talk about our drinks tonight. So Kevin's the only one drinking something different, so I think Kev should go first, and then Mike and I can make him jealous. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 4:26

I looked up a cocktail and then I looked at the ingredients, and then there's so much um there's so many um uh cordials that I don't have, you know, like rose water. Uh I don't keep that readily stocked. You know, even I don't keep stock of a bar. Uh I was able to find this. It is called the taming of the shrewdriver, and it's essentially an orange shoes.

SPEAKER_06 4:58

It's okay, it works. At least he didn't go with the Charles Dickens drink by accident. So, as I said in pre-show, Mike and I went to Langhorn Brewery this weekend and we did a uh flight, got some pretty good food while we were there, and both of us ended up liking the same drink and coming home with a crowd of it. So, Mike, why don't you tell us what it is?

SPEAKER_02 5:20

It is their beer bread. Um, what is it? Oh, banana bread. Um, is it a Pilsner or it was like a lager? Lager? Was it lager?

SPEAKER_06 5:32

Yeah, it was a banana bread lager. Uh let me double check that.

SPEAKER_05 5:38

Is it the mellow yellow banana bread beer?

SPEAKER_06 5:41

It didn't have a name. I think it was just called banana bread.

SPEAKER_05 5:43

Or banana bread blonde.

SPEAKER_06 5:45

Banana bread. That's it, the banana banana bread blonde.

SPEAKER_05 5:49

I I had not had that one. No, it's a Belgian blonde.

SPEAKER_06 5:52

Yes, it is very good. Yeah, it's kind of like uh this citrus, citrusy taste of like blue moon, but with a banana flavor to it. Nice.

SPEAKER_05 6:02

Yeah, and I don't do that.

SPEAKER_06 6:05

Yeah, I don't typically do the banana ones. Like I know you love the the the golden monkey victory. Um and I'm I'm not a big fan of that, but uh so I drank it, Mike and I both got it, and we were like, wow, it's amazing. And then we did our other our other three beers, and we were like, these are good, but I think the banana has like ruined our taste for the other beers. You're ready to save that one for last.

SPEAKER_02 6:26

And it was probably the strongest beer they had on the on the on the board, too.

SPEAKER_06 6:30

Yeah, I think it was like six or seven ABB, something like that. And uh, so they only sold it in Crowlers, so Mike and I both said, you know, fuck it. Langhorn brewery crowlers. I was tempted to drink it out of the bottle tonight, but I was like, I could get a little messy. All right, so let's move on to a song. I didn't have time to make a Shakespeare song for all of our segments, so we're just gonna use the week in film history with Mike. I'm enjoying this this beer so much I might finish this crowd tonight.

SPEAKER_02 7:27

Let's see how many names I can uh uh fuck up tonight. Uh 1930, All Quiet on the Western Front, based on the book by based on the novel by Eric Maria Riarki, directed by Lewis Milestone, and starring Lewis uh Wolfheim and Lou Aries, premieres in Los Angeles, Academy Award, outstanding production 1930.

SPEAKER_06 7:58

Oh, German names are pretty good. Yeah. Uh this was remade a couple years ago. I think the remarque is French. Yeah, I it's it's Eric Maria Remarque. Remarque or something like that. Yeah, Louis Milestone, Louis Volheim, and Louis Ayers. Uh and this was remade a few years ago. Uh the remake was nominated for Best Picture, but did not win. Whereas the original one, Best Picture. Original one, um I feel like there was one before this one, too, that was like a silent film. Because it does it tells the story of a battle during World War One. So I feel like there was one that was made like not too long after World War One. I don't know. I could be mistaking it for the novel, which came out after World War One, obviously. Next one, sir.

SPEAKER_02 8:49

1931, US gangster film, the public enemy starred, James Cagney and Gene Harlow premieres.

SPEAKER_06 8:57

No, I've never seen this.

SPEAKER_02 8:59

Really?

SPEAKER_06 9:00

And I know it's like one of James Cagney's most famous films. Because like I've seen Yankee Doodle Dandy and I've seen White Heat, which are his other two like most famous films, but I've never seen Public Enemy. I gotta, I gotta watch it because I feel like as a gangster film, I probably enjoy it.

SPEAKER_05 9:15

Does he portray, and we may not know the answer if we haven't seen it, but does he portray uh John Dillinger like the public enemy movie that starred?

SPEAKER_06 9:26

I don't think so. I don't think so, because I think Dillinger was robbing banks around the time this movie was made, so it probably wouldn't have coincided with this story. Okay, yeah, that's a good question, though, because yeah, because yeah, the one with that was called well, it was public enemies. Public enemy was a public enemy or public enemies. Public enemies, because it was him and his gang, the Dillinger gang. Um I do have to I I definitely want to check this out though because I like James Gagney. All right, next one, sir.

SPEAKER_02 9:54

1946, Walt Disney's animated film anthology, make my music premieres in New York City.

SPEAKER_06 10:03

Okay, I've never seen this.

SPEAKER_01 10:05

All right.

SPEAKER_06 10:19

They were like kind of fascinated by it. They all recognized the whistle. Yeah, they all recognize that little whistle because it they kind of like play it on the Disney channel all the time.

SPEAKER_05 10:31

Oh, it became the uh intro to many of the movies now, you know.

SPEAKER_06 10:34

They uh you need help with the Japanese names on this one, Mike. We'll see.

SPEAKER_02 10:45

Japanese film directed by Akira Kurosawa.

SPEAKER_04 10:50

Yeah, excellent.

SPEAKER_02 10:51

Starring Toshiro Mafuni.

SPEAKER_06 10:57

Oh wow, man, he did really good. I'm proud of you. Excellent. Akira Kurosawa and Toshira Mafune, yeah. So this is the uh film uh that um the magnificent seventh based on. Right. I like I love Akira Kurosawa films. I've seen a number of them, and I'll talk about them later because he is uh one of the most prolific adapters of Shakespeare as well.

SPEAKER_02 11:23

Next one, sir. 1977 film Eddie Hall, written and directed by Woody Allen, starring Allen alongside Diane Keaton, is released, wins the Academy Award Best Picture 1978, as well as uh best director and screenplay for Woody Allen and Best Actress Diane Keaton, and it beat out another film that year that we all love.

SPEAKER_06 11:46

Star Wars Star Wars was nominated for Best Picture Next one, sir.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

In nineteen eighty-nine, world premiere of sports fantasy film Filled of Dreams in Oh my Lord, Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa, based on WP Kensella's novel, Shoe Less Joe, and starring Kevin Costner, Earl, James L. Jones, Ray Lil Yoda, and Burt Lancaster.

SPEAKER_05 12:18

This is one I need to watch when the when baseball season starts. There's like five I need to watch, and this is one of the five.

SPEAKER_06 12:25

I watch this, I watch Major League. Uh I watch this, Major League, uh, the natural, uh, League of Their Own. And I think I usually just watch those. I should start I should watch Eight Men Out. I haven't watched that one in a while.

SPEAKER_05 12:42

I watch uh League of Their. Oh, well, I mentioned League of Their Own, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 12:46

So yeah, I love Feel the Drinks so much. We gotta make sure we also include uh recent Oscar winner Amy Madigan in that film as well.

SPEAKER_02 12:57

Uh here's one of our twin films. 1997 disaster film Volcano, directed by Mick Jackson and starring Tommy Lee Jones and Ann Haish, is released in the US.

SPEAKER_06 13:13

Not to be confused with the Pierce Brosnan classic Dante's Peak. Dante's Peak also came out that year. Another volcano movie.

SPEAKER_05 13:20

That had um, oh, what's her name? Sarah Connor.

SPEAKER_06 13:23

Uh oh yeah, as uh um I can't think of her name. I keep saying Sarah, I keep thinking Sarah Connor. Sarah Connor. It'll come to me. Oh, I might as well throw my little uh uh Chuck Norris fact in here since this is a twin film for that year. That same year, 1997, Chuck Norris made his last cinematic release. He never did another movie after this. He was doing Walker Texas Texas Ranger for a while after this. His last movie was a movie uh called Top Dog, and it was a action comedy where he plays a detective paired up with a dog.

SPEAKER_05 14:08

Oh, so it's a twin movie of Turner and Hooch.

SPEAKER_06 14:11

It's Turner and Hooch, K9, all those films, but but six years after those movies came out. The reason I bring it up though is because I was reading about it earlier and I was reading the plot and I was like, this is I gotta watch this shit. It sounds horrible, but it's so fucked up. He's a down on his luck cop paired up with a dog who has super intelligence for some reason, and they have to foil a terrorist plot in LA. And the terrorist turns out to be a conglomerate of the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nation, and the and the uh uh Church of Something or Another, which is one of the other like white supremacist groups, and like that's the terrorist terrorist group he's gonna he's gotta defeat is this conglomerate of white supremacist groups, like a fucking Voltron of racists.

SPEAKER_04 15:00

This is the shaggy DM.

SPEAKER_06 15:02

Yeah, it's like I'm gonna watch that shit too. Chuck Norris. All right, back to more important things, Mike.

SPEAKER_02 15:08

In 2010, Iron Man 2, directed by John Favreau, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwen Paltrow premieres in Los Angeles.

SPEAKER_06 15:17

Bartney Interruption, Linda Hamilton. Yes, Linda Hamilton, you're right. It was Sarah Connor, yeah. It just popped in my head. I don't know why. Iron Man 2. We talked about this uh last week because we did the the trilogy uh bracket. Our least favorite Iron Man. Yeah, all three of us agreed Iron Man 2 is probably the weakest in the franchise.

SPEAKER_05 15:38

Um that one wasn't direct, that wasn't directed by Favreau, was it?

SPEAKER_06 15:41

It's Iron Man 3 was Chain Black. Yeah, the guy that did uh Predator and and all those movies. Uh I love this is my favorite of the of the Marvel films, the next one here.

SPEAKER_02 15:55

And 2018, Marvel's Avengers Infinity War, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, starring Chris Evans, Robert Daniel Jr., and a large assembled cast premieres in Los Angeles, California.

SPEAKER_06 16:09

Uh a movie I was impressed with because everybody had something to do. You know, and it wasn't like just an ensemble cast for the sake of ensemble. There was a story that everybody was telling. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 16:20

And uh last one. In 2019, Marvel film The Vengers Endgame, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, starring Robert Daniel Jr., Chris Evans, and an ensemble cast premiere in Los Angeles, California.

SPEAKER_06 16:34

Yep. That one happened.

SPEAKER_02 16:38

You didn't like Endgame?

SPEAKER_06 16:40

I liked Endgame, but I liked Infinity where more for me, it was like you know, liking Empire Strikes Back more than like, you know, return to Jedi. Okay. Um I'm gonna do my uh my my uh film news thing early because I don't really have anything.

SPEAKER_02 16:57

Uh actually I would have commented on his what he just said. No, he shouldn't have gone for the head, he should have gone for the arm and cut off the goddamn the the glove arm.

SPEAKER_06 17:08

Yeah, no, what they should have did was knock uh quill out so he didn't fucking ruin it when they almost had the glove pulled off his hand.

SPEAKER_05 17:14

No, what they should have done was send um was sending up his ass.

SPEAKER_06 17:20

Send him up his ass and tell him to get big. Um early reports on Avengers Secret Wars is a Secret War, no Doomsday, the one first one that's coming out. Uh early reports on Doomsday is that it is amazing. Well done. Everybody has something to do again, and it's got uh as high an audience review so far as Infinity War. Wow. So I'm I'm I'm pretty hyped. Yeah, considering some of the hits and misses they've had recently, that'll be great. All right. All right, on to some beer news tonight.

SPEAKER_05 18:17

All right, I'm gonna do my best quiet impression of the mad header. Really?

SPEAKER_06 18:23

Because I I thought you were gonna read it like it like it like when you first copied and pasted onto the page where it was like 80 font letters. And I thought you're sure you're gonna go with when is a glass of beer like a cup of tea?

SPEAKER_05 18:36

I was doing it from my phone and I could not find the paste formatting.

SPEAKER_06 18:41

So I I appreciate the fact you got your homework early, don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_04 18:46

When is a glass of beer like a cup of tea? That was actually pretty good. I like that. Thank you. I appreciate that. Oh, I love it.

SPEAKER_05 18:57

Spilling the tea just got a little bit more boozy. Miller Light has partnered with gymnast and actor Livy is it Dune or Duny? Dune? Livy Dunn on a new campaign prompting. Yes. Done. Dun done. Okay, done done. Livy Dunn. To log off, show up, and say yes to making real-life connections. Dunn stars in a brand in the brand's new Legendary Moments with Livy series on social videos. The collab kicks off the launch of a limited edition Miller Tea Time set, which the brand says designated uh is designed to elevate one of the more most sacred social events, the debrief. Inspired by the popular cultural trope of spilling the tea, the set contains a custom designed tea kettle with colorful Miller light logos with built-in beer puncturing mechanism. Customers can insert a 12-ounce can into the kettle itself to dispense the beer via the poor stout. The set is completed with four matching branded teacups and silver saucers. In one video, Dune describes the tea kettles while announcing to viewers that the debriefs uh that the debrief is in season and teasing some upcoming tea. A limited number of tea time uh Miller tea time sets are available online for $75 while supplies last.

SPEAKER_03 20:30

That's Limited Done.

SPEAKER_05 20:31

Oh wow. Okay. Dune will make uh Done, sorry, will make personal appearances throughout the summer at major cultural moments and festivals highlighted by the brand's new experimental space, the Social Light Club, which debuts at New Orleans Jazz Festival in April. The club is described as an immersive, dual-level experience with a lively bar, second floor hangout, and signature conversation pet. Um okay. That's it for that article. Uh is it just May, or does it seem like beers or beer companies, breweries, are trying to find just gadgets? You know, what was it? Um Paps Blue Ribbon had a fireplace for the holidays, right?

SPEAKER_06 21:19

What was the one that had like the 86 case of beer or something like that?

SPEAKER_05 21:22

It was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. One of them had the shared uh beer fridge between the fence, you know.

SPEAKER_06 21:30

I think it was Paps that also had the the kaiju beers with the Godzilla on the can that uh Nate was drinking tonight. He was on our show.

SPEAKER_05 21:38

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 21:40

Gimmick beers.

SPEAKER_05 21:42

Gimmick beers. Anyway, um, so by all means, go order your Miller tea set if you'd like. Um, this one I liked because I really like the Foo Fighters. Food Fighter frontman Dave Grohl thanks Whiskey and Beer for his long lasting vocals. Foo Fighter Frontman and Nirvana alum David Grohl has been performing for a long time and his voice still is is still going strong. This apparently is owed to nothing more than a go-to pre-show routine which includes whiskey and beer, an approach he claims has kept his vocals in top shape for decades. Speaking to the uh speaking on the dish podcast, Grohl detailed a ritual that begins with an hour before hitting stage. The routines start simply a beer, then another. Along the way, Grohl adds a shot of whiskey, sometimes multiple, often shared with bandmates in what he calls the band prayer. He also mentions occasionally taking Advil to manage before performing. Probably not the best combo. Yeah, I know. Despite how it sounds, Grohl said that the habit came into focus after a medical check on his vocal cords roughly eight years ago. Expecting bad news, he instead got reassured. According to Grohl, the doctor found his vocal cords in excellent condition. And asked him, What are you doing?

SPEAKER_06 23:06

And he said, I lube them every night.

SPEAKER_05 23:10

I said, Honestly, an hour before the show, I open a beer, I'll start drinking the beer. I might take an Advil because my knees hurt, my ankles hurt. He sounds fantastic.

SPEAKER_06 23:22

Sounds like us.

SPEAKER_05 23:24

My ankles hurt, whatever. I'm old. Then I take a shot of whiskey, and then once the beer is done, I'll open another beer.

SPEAKER_06 23:42

Doctor didn't see any red flags. Just minor alcoholism and an agile dependency.

SPEAKER_05 23:48

My doctor said, just don't change what you're doing, it's working. And I was like, okay, great. Well, Grohl acknowledged the regimen wouldn't be here in any medical journal.

SPEAKER_06 23:59

So this doctor do like telemed, because I'd like to meet him. I don't think I could go to LA for it though.

SPEAKER_05 24:07

He said it worked. It's worked throughout his career. The band, now marking it's roughly 30 years together, has leaned on.

SPEAKER_06 24:13

You mean drinking alcohol has worked in his career as a rock musician?

SPEAKER_05 24:20

Uh leaned on pre-show rituals as a way to prepare and stay connected before performances. Uh the commons come as Foo Fighters prepare for releasing uh before the release of their upcoming album, Your Favorite Toy, and a scheduled appearance on Saturday Night Live UK, where they will be the first non-British music guest. Um scan any liquor bottle to see all expert reviews in one place. Oh, sorry, that's uh an ad.

SPEAKER_06 24:48

Anywho, um and his QR code that we don't have on our screen.

SPEAKER_05 24:54

Uh I know he's coming this summer, he's coming into on tour, and I I was hoping I could catch it because I Megan had got me tickets, I think, for our first anniversary, maybe our second, and um they had to cancel the tour because uh the drummer died. Taylor Hawkins died, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 25:12

So yeah, did you see the concert where his son played uh hero? Oh man, it was amazing.

SPEAKER_02 25:19

It was so good. Uh not too uh um the draft. Yeah, I I don't want to disparage any of our fans that are Raiders fans, but you know, they're gonna ruin this poor quarterback's career.

SPEAKER_06 25:32

I showed you that that graphic I sent you earlier where every player that they've drafted, every player drafted after the Raiders draft has become a Hall of Famer.

SPEAKER_02 25:40

Yeah. So Fernando Mendoza.

SPEAKER_06 25:44

Oh, the quarterback, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:47

Yeah, I knew that was how they had the first round and they're congratulating themselves for getting this pick.

SPEAKER_06 25:54

They all do that, they don't. I have a uh a somewhat related story to this uh Dave Roll story, Kev. Somewhat related. Uh I had a dog for a really long time when I was growing up named Dina, and uh she was a really nice dog. My dad never fed her dog food, he only fed her human food. Like he fed her Chinese food and lasagna and pizza. Like this dog ate whatever we were eating all the time. But she was very healthy, and he took her to the vet one day, and the vet said, Wow, she's in really good shape. What are you feeding her? And my dad went, Oh, you know, the usual.

SPEAKER_05 26:36

Like, there's some small part of me that remembers that Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns goes to the doctor and he has everything, but they can't make it through his system because they're all trying to get through at once, so they're blocking the area that we kill them. Yeah, one false move, and you're gone. And uh Burns is like, so I'm in, I'm in the um I'm impenetrable. Um, something like that, you know. I'm undestruct indestructible.

SPEAKER_02 27:09

Um vitamin B for beer. Uh hold on real quick. Like your meme about the next uh one after the Raiders is going to the Hall of Fame, doubt it. It's gonna be a Jets player. Maybe this will be the one. Maybe it gets traded to another place and gets a Hall of Fame place.

SPEAKER_06 27:29

Yeah, probably. Yeah, like the guy that won the Super Bowl this year. Sam Darnold. He played for the Jets. Uh is the vitamin B for beer?

SPEAKER_05 27:38

Uh yes. Which beers have the most vitamin B? A must for heart health, immunity, and good mood. Uh, belch it from the rooftop. Scientists in Germany recently published findings from a study that fraternity houses have been informally conducting for generations. They purchased 65 different beers from local supermarkets and tested them for health benefits, in particular for their vitamin B content. As more people shun alcohol for its negative health effects, not helped by recent assessments that show even a small amount can increase a person's risk of cancer and illness, the researchers wanted to understand what potential health benefits beer had, and if those properties translate into non-alcoholic formula. Then they analyzed the nutrients, make a nutrient makeup of beers brewed from a variety of sources, including barley, rice, and wheat, and found that in alcoholic and non-alcoholic forms, beer made with a technique called suppressed fermentation, were full of probiotics, prebiotics, polyphen, polyphenols, carbohydrates, and one essential vitamin that's hard to find in natural sources, B6. Um, and the source material that the beers were brewed from uh made a difference in the overall B6 availability of each one. Ingredients typically found in beer, especially barley, wheat, and brewers, yeast, are commonly known to be good sources of vitamin B6, but researchers weren't sure if those nutrients were somehow affected by the process of removing the alcohol to create non-alcoholic beer. To see how alcohol-free beer nutrients profile compared to alcoholic beers, the researchers got to testing. Bach beer or beer brewed from barley showed to have the highest levels of the vitamins. Next up were lagers, then dark lagers, then wheat beer, and finally rice beers, which had the lowest content. There was no significant difference in the vitamin B6 content of non-alcoholic beers compared to alcoholic beers.

SPEAKER_06 29:45

Um good news.

SPEAKER_02 29:52

Well, I want to go probably well probiotic about the beers because you know, if you've had beer shits, non-alcoholic beers had their alcohol removed after the fermentation, had higher B6 levels than non-alcoholic beers that contained yeast that produced less alcohol.

SPEAKER_05 30:10

One non-alcoholic logger provided nearly 59% of the U.S. recommended dietary allowance in a vitamin B6 compared to 20% by the average logger in a study. This is good news for anyone who's low on B6, a deficiency that may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, uh depression, diabetes, general inflammation, and some cancers. And is potentially good news for consumers of the more than 6 billion gallons of beer guzzled in the United States annually per the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. While supplements can fill uh can help fill nutritional gaps and vitamin deficiencies, expert medical experts recommend trying to get vitamin B from your diet. The National Institute of Health recommends fish, beef, liver, and other organ meats, potatoes, and starchy vegetables and fruits that are not from the citrus family. But um bum, that's it.

SPEAKER_06 31:15

Everybody got that.

SPEAKER_02 31:22

I do brewed by the Bavarian State Brewery. Vine Heisensteffen is Munich in Munich. This 5.1 ABV Pilsner comes from what is widely regarded as the world's oldest brewery with monastoic brewing roots. Thank you very much. Uh brewing roots dating back to 1040 and likely earlier. The brewery originated from Benedictine um monastery founded in 724, where monks brewed beer to support their community. Over time, the site survived several destructions, was later secularized, and is now owned by Bavarian State. Uh today it is also houses houses a renowned brewing institute affiliated with the technical institute of technical university of Munich, known for global brewing education and research. Although it's famous for wheat beers, its filter stands out as a top example of the style brewed with German pale malt and hops from the Halertru region. It delivers a crisp, refreshing profile with malty, slightly biscuity aroma, brightly lemony, citrus notes, spicy herbal hop character, a balance of finishing blends, blending malt, richness with create clean bitterness. Overall, it's a classic German pills and are clean, flavorful, and exceptional, well balanced.

SPEAKER_06 33:11

Insert, uh intelligent, pithy, sarcastic comment about the history of beer because it comes from seven and whatever it was. I drank a lot of vitamin B so far. Insert your own two. We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be back with our main segment. So you get rid of that better uh back from our quick little break with our main segment tonight. We are celebrating the bard's birthday. Uh Shakespeare, born April 23rd. He actually was born on April 23rd and died on April 23rd. So this is his death day as well. Uh, so we're gonna talk tonight about some of his best and worst adaptations. Uh, this is based on movie lists on uh on uh Rotten Tomatoes. So I have Shakespeare films that are modern inspired updates, so uh, like not straight adaptations of his plays, but I also have the best and worst of his uh traditional uh adapted plays. And then after that, we're gonna play a little game called Is It Shakespeare. I have a bunch of uh movie plots that I wrote. Uh some are Shakespeare plays, some are actual movies. Can you guess which one's the movie and which one's the Shakespeare play? Maybe. Maybe we'll see. So let's look at our best and worst adaptations. Uh, top five Shakespeare film updates, modern and inspired. So these are films based on Shakespeare plays, not quite Shakespeare. Uh, the first is probably one of the most famous of all, Romeo and Juliet uh inspired musical, West Side Story, uh, which was first a novel and then a play and then a movie in 1961. And that's the one we're talking about here, not the Spielberg one, which I actually thought was pretty good, but is not as good.

SPEAKER_04 34:57

I thought they did a good job.

SPEAKER_06 34:58

Yeah, I thought as far as like modernizing it a little bit, I thought they did a good job. Uh, but still not as highly rated as the um 1960s. Natalie Wood. Natalie Wood, uh uh uh Breedham Arena. Yeah, uh this is the not David Jansers. Um I can't think of the actor's name. Uh, but this is a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Uh it actually, I think, has a higher uh uh critic score than the actual Romeo and Juliet film. Uh any of the versions of the Romeo and Juliet films. Uh I love West Side Story, it's a great movie. Oscar for best picture that year. Amazing film.

SPEAKER_05 35:43

Uh I actually felt more sympathy towards the um sharks than they did the Jets. You know, yeah, I mean it's because it was about immigration and racism and stuff like that. But the music I like, I think the music that they got to sing was was better.

SPEAKER_06 36:01

Oh, so uh one of the kids I was working with today in school was doing a uh report on Puerto Rico, uh, because that's where her family's from. And I started singing, Puerto Rico, you love the island, and she's like, What's that?

SPEAKER_05 36:15

And I was like, Oh god, can of worms opened once again.

SPEAKER_06 36:23

Uh, next one is probably my favorite Shakespeare adaptation as far as modern adaptations go. 1994's The Lion King. It's Hamlet, but with lions, with lions and childhood trauma.

SPEAKER_05 36:38

But you have the uncle that takes over the throne, gets together with the mother.

SPEAKER_06 36:45

You know, the father is killed by the uncle, the father's ghost son, the son has a to-be or not-to-be speech, but it's called Hukuna Matata. Uh he's got the uh he's got the two friends, Tamon and Pumba, who are like Rosencrantz and Gildenstern. Uh, I got the advisor character, the monkey. Uh, who's who's like his Horatio? You got uh what's the bird's name, Zazu? He's like polonius to the king. He's yeah, it's it is it's Shakespeare. It's Hamlet, but it's the best version of Hamlet, I believe. And not the uh live adaptation, the live action adaptation. This is the original animated one. At least Oh, there's a lion! Oh my god, from it was alas, poor York.

SPEAKER_02 37:42

I knew who was H.

SPEAKER_06 37:44

It would have been really weird if he picked up like a lion skull.

SPEAKER_05 37:48

He does it's not it's not simple though, it's um score picked up the lion's skull.

SPEAKER_06 37:57

You broke up a little there, Kev. I don't know what you're saying.

SPEAKER_05 37:59

It's a plan skull scar in the we are back after some technical difficulties.

SPEAKER_06 38:05

What were you saying, Kev?

SPEAKER_05 38:07

I was saying that the skull scene is there, it's just not Simba holding the skull, it's it's a scar, you know.

SPEAKER_06 38:14

Yes, it's yeah. There's that, and I was also like, I was also thinking like the elephant graveyard scene. It's kind of like kind of like is like the graveyard scene from from Hamlet. So yeah, Lion King is awesome. Yes. So I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the next highest-rated film on this list from uh Rotten Tomatoes. I probably the only one who saw it. Oh, yeah. My own my own private Idaho.

SPEAKER_02 38:41

I have not seen it.

SPEAKER_06 38:42

So this stars River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves uh in one of his early dramatic roles. Uh it's a good movie, it is uh a very, very loose uh retelling of uh Shakespeare's Henry the Fourth and Henry the Fifth, which were historical plays, but this is a fictionalized, like loose retelling of it. Um one of uh Keanu Reeves actually one of his better performances, believe it or not. And of course, River Phoenix is amazing no matter what. So the next one is fucking batshit crazy. Uh this one is very highly rated. I don't know why. This is definitely a critic's rating, 89%, because I did not like it. It's called Scotland PA. It is a modern-day reworking of Macbeth, but it takes place in a fast food restaurant instead of Scotland, and it involves this guy who's trying to like become the manager of the restaurant uh by murdering the previous manager, the uh previous manager, the Duncan character who would be the character in Macbeth, is played by Christopher Walkins, so you know it's normal. Oh, yeah, it's a weird movie. And I think the last one we have on this list here is the one that my wife would agree with, is one of the best adaptations. Ten Things I Hate About You from 1999. Very low uh uh critic score, but has a very high audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. It is the uh high school uh you know teen romantic comedy about the taming of the shrew. Uh even has some of the same character names in the film. Uh stars Julia Stiles and the forever dreamy Heath Ledger, who carries the film at his charisma.

SPEAKER_02 40:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 40:36

Also stars Joseph Gordon Levitt back when he was Joey Gordon Levitt. Uh Elise uh Olniak, who was uh Clarissa Del Role or whatever was on Nickelodeon, and uh a Who's Who of other character actors Gabrielle Union, Alice and Janny, Larry Miller. Alison Janny's funny in it. She's the guidance counselor who's trying to write a uh romantic sex novel. All right, these are the bottom five Shakespeare adaptations according to Rotten Tomatoes. Um, I've not seen this one. Get over it in 2001, has a 29%. It is from what I know of this film, it's like one of those like American Pie ripoff films. Oh, jeez. That was trying to be like American Pie. Uh, it's apparently based on Midnight Summer Night's Dream. I I have never seen this film. I don't even know who's in it.

SPEAKER_05 41:34

It's got Kirsten, it's got a good cast um by today's standards. It's at Kirsten Dunst, Ben Foster, Mila Kunis, Cisco, Cisco, Cisco. It's got Cisco, uh, Shane West, Martin Short, Zoe Zaldana. I mean, it's got Who's Who before they were somebody.

SPEAKER_06 41:54

Yeah, I'm looking at the movie poster now, and like the poster looks familiar. And there's a spill shot of Kirsten Dunst and Mila Kunis and Bikinis from the film that popped up first. I don't know why. They're like 16 years old in this movie. It makes me feel a little icky. And uh, it looks weird, man. Ben Foster. Yeah, this is like it's like such a weird cast.

SPEAKER_05 42:17

I think I've seen this. I think I think I've seen this.

SPEAKER_06 42:20

I really carmen Electra's in it. Coolio's in it. Fuck, you got Cisco and Coolio in this movie.

SPEAKER_02 42:29

No wonder it did. I can't see why it didn't make it in a big vitamin C.

SPEAKER_05 42:35

It might have done well at the box office for all I know. This might have had that that graduation song that vitamin C sings that everybody that fucking song that played all the time everywhere.

SPEAKER_06 42:46

So this movie had a $22 million budget and grossed $19 million worldwide. So it lost some money.

SPEAKER_02 42:54

Yeah, lost money.

SPEAKER_06 42:56

But I have never seen it before. I don't think I want to see it. Despite the Cisco Coolio factor they got going on there. That's where all the money went. Yeah. Next one's got a 33% critic score, but definitely has a better audience score, and that is the Jetly action classic Romeo Must Die. Which is, yes, based on Romeo and Juliet, but with a lot more ass kicking. I'm trying to remember who else was in this. I think Bob Hoskins is in this movie. Really? I'm looking it up now because I it's been a while since I've seen it. It's Jet Lee, and the Love Interest is played by Aaliyah, the uh RB singer who died in a plane crash. Um and I'm looking at the cast, Isaiah Washington, Russell Wong, Delroy Lindo. DMX is in it, Anthony Anderson. Anthony Anderson's in it. I must be thinking of a different movie. Movie because I could have sworn what's his face was in it, but I must be wrong. But yeah, Jetly is Romeo, and Romeo must die.

SPEAKER_01 44:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 44:10

He's a avenging cop seeking out his brother's killer, falling for the daughter of a business businessman who was involved in a money deal with his father.

SPEAKER_05 44:18

Uh it is it doesn't sound a lot like the plot of Romeo and Juliet.

SPEAKER_06 44:22

Yeah, it's not really. It's kind of it's why it's loosely based. Romeo and Juliet. Romeo, uh, instead of like dying at the end, just basically beats the shit out of everybody. Uh, next one is Nomeo and Juliet.

SPEAKER_01 44:40

Nomeo, oh Nomeo. We're how far off thou no meo.

SPEAKER_06 44:43

There's a whole series of these fucking gnome movies because there's Nomeo and Juliet, there's Sherlock Gnomes. Yes. Uh there's like a bunch of them. I think there's even a Nomeo and Juliet 2. I was like, how's there a two? They should have fucking been broken to pieces at the end of the first one. They're garden gnomes. The Giants took an edge rusher. Okay. Thanks. That's Mike giving us our uh NFL draft uh update. Shakespeare and football, my two favorite things. Hey, I'm at least keeping you up with the NFC East. If not, yeah, I hear you. Thank you. I'll turn it on after we're done. Uh 2001, oh.

SPEAKER_04 45:23

Oh, oh.

SPEAKER_06 45:25

That's my that's my South Philly accent coming out again. The movie Oh, but it's me going, oh, oh, it's a based on a fellow. Oh, oh, this one stars Julia Styles as well. Uh this one's more of a comment. Oh, yeah, we just type in oh, a bunch of things pop up because I think she's trying to complete a word. Oh. So it stars uh it stars Julia Styles, and I want to say Omar Epps. Yeah, it's hard to find. It doesn't like come up right away on IMDb. Oh. Let's see. Oh here we go. I want the oh movie. Oh, it is not coming up easy on here.

SPEAKER_05 46:14

Jesus. Um no, Mikai Pfeiffer. Josh Hartnett, Martin Sheen, Andrew Keegan again, and in another one.

SPEAKER_06 46:26

Took a break between Kelly Styles and Andrew Keegan in two Shakespeare adaptations. One is a really fun comedy, and the other one is a boring as shit drama.

SPEAKER_05 46:35

Oh, and one of River Phoenix's sisters, Rain. Rain Phoenix.

SPEAKER_06 46:39

Rain Phoenix. What was uh Wachan's real name? Oh, it's Leaf. I know it was another spacecamp name. Uh Warm Bodies 2013, 81% critic score, but a very low audience score. Um, critics liked it. Normal people hated it. It's uh Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, but with zombies. Kevin and I were talking about this during the break, Mike, when you uh when you popped off for a minute. Uh it's Juliet's father's played by John Malkovich, so you know it's a normal role.

SPEAKER_02 47:19

How did you kill the zombies at the end?

SPEAKER_06 47:21

So it's it's um the zombie Romeo is a zombie. His name is Ur. Okay. And he sees this girl, Juliet, basically, and he uh becomes enamored with her, and his love for her is what brings him back to life. His like heart grows three sizes that day.

SPEAKER_05 47:42

It seems like it's a reverse, right? Because at the end of the one, they all die, and then at the end of this one, he comes back to life. That's why plays the Romeo character.

SPEAKER_02 47:57

The Leo de Caporio uh version of Romeo and Juliet.

SPEAKER_06 48:01

So that didn't make the top five. I believe it's in the top ten, but I was trying to keep my list short tonight. So you guys always complain. So now that also counts as a straight adaptation, yes, it does, uh, and not a so like if we're talking straight adaptations, that's what I have next. These are traditional adaptations. The top five on Rotten Tomatoes for traditional Shakespeare adaptations, three of the top five are Kennis Branhoff films, which I think is pretty amazing. So all the ones you watched in school, all the ones that I've watched personally, because I love the Kennis Branhoff Shakespeare films. So we got Henry V from 1989, which is amazing. It's like the movie that inspired Braveheart, basically. Uh it was an Oscar nom for Best Picture Actor and Director for Kenneth Branagh. It's one of his earliest Shakespeare adaptations that he did. Amazing movie. Then there's Hamlet from 1996, which is also Kenneth Branagh. Hamlet is the most adapted of Shakespeare's stories, both in on stage and in movies. So there's a million had him Hamlet adaptations.

SPEAKER_02 49:06

That's not the one with uh Ethan Walk. No. Um is it Mel Gibson in a Hamlet?

SPEAKER_06 49:17

Oh, no, that one was 19. I want to say that one was like so that Branos Hamlet was 96. I think the the one with Mel Gibson was like 1990 or 91.

SPEAKER_03 49:28

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 49:28

It was like right before he did Braveheart. I actually like the Mel Gibson one, it's pretty good. Uh, there's the sh the Olivier one from the 30s, which is very like stuffy men in tights version. There's one with Ethan Hawke that takes place in modern day New York. Uh there's one with David Tennant, which is a really good one. David Tennant, of course, is amazing.

SPEAKER_05 49:51

There's not one with Denzel Washington.

SPEAKER_06 49:53

Denzel Washington did Macbeth. Macbeth, okay. And that's actually pretty good. That's a Cohen Brothers film. Um, it was actually a pretty good adaptation. But I love the Hamlet one. I saw the Kenneth Brannell Hamlet one in the theater. It's a four-hour movie because it's an uncut adaptation of the play. There's nothing deleted from it. Wow. So it was two hours plus a 20-minute intermission plus the next two hours. It was it was a marathon watch. But I love Hamlet. I did Hamlet in college. It's it's just something that I always enjoyed. Uh, and then 1993's Much Ado About Nothing, which is also the Kenneth Branagh version. There's actually two film versions of this. There's one that Kenneth Branagh did and one that Josh Whedon did in the uh mid-2000s uh with uh Nathan Fillion and a bunch of the other actors from like Firefly.

SPEAKER_05 50:45

Filmed in black and white, it was like a house party or something, a dinner party.

SPEAKER_06 50:49

It was actually filmed at Josh Whedon's house. It was filmed uh he was doing the Avengers at the time, and they had a break in filming, and his wife, as a birthday present, uh, allowed him to use their house to film Much About Nothing, which was something he'd always wanted to do. So it's actually filmed in his house. It's not bad, it's an okay adaptation. Uh, Romeo and Juliet 1968. This is the one he gets shown in school all the time. This is the Zefferelli one. The actress who played Juliet actually just passed away last year. Olivia, yeah, yeah. Uh I'm not a big fan of the Baz Lerman one with DiCaprio. I know it's a very popular version. Um, it's the one that like all my students loved when I would show them that one in class. Uh, I actually I don't like Romeo and Juliet much in general, so right. No adaptation really appeals to me that much, other than like West Side Story.

SPEAKER_02 51:46

But I do like Julian modernization of it though.

SPEAKER_05 51:50

No, I thought it did a good job of modernizing it. And I think having it modernized, but keeping the dialogue the way it was was helpful to students, if that makes sense.

SPEAKER_06 52:04

Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 52:06

Um, because they could they're they're visualizing what's being said as opposed to reading it and not having any ideas to what's going on, you know.

SPEAKER_06 52:14

I did the one thing I really did like about the Baz Lerman one was um Harold Perineau, who's the actor to play uh Mercutio, Romeo's friend. Yeah gets killed during the duel. Like he he was amazing in it. I really enjoyed his performance. Um, but overall, I mean it was okay. I I've kind of gotten used to it over the years because I had to watch it a lot for school.

SPEAKER_05 52:37

Had a good soundtrack.

SPEAKER_06 52:39

It did, it did have a good soundtrack. Love me, love me. Say that you love me. Uh 2015's McBeth. This is the one with uh Denzel Washington.

SPEAKER_05 52:54

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06 52:55

Uh, it is a beautiful looking film. It's filmed in black and white, it's filmed on a sound stage that makes it look like it's being filmed on on like as like a play on the stage, okay. Stage itself. The actress who plays the witches, the witches is played by one person, is unbelievable. She's a contortionist, and the things that she does with her body as she's doing like the witches' speeches is like fucking so creepy. Um, this was a really good adaptation of it. A couple years before this, Michael Fossbender did his own adaptation to Macbeth. It was fucking terrible. I saw both of these in the theater, and I definitely prefer this one. Uh there's also a really good one that Roman Polanski did in the 70s, and uh a very, very good BBC production of this starring Patrick Stewart as Macbeth. Very, very good production. There are four lights. He's a Shakespearean trained actor, so he's really good in it.

SPEAKER_05 53:53

There are four lights.

SPEAKER_06 54:08

Oh god. All right, his sails unfurled. All right, who did a commanders pick, Mike? Uh they haven't announced it yet. Okay. In the bottom five for Shakespeare adaptations. You got Love's Labor Lost from 2000. This is a musical adaptation of a Shakespeare play directed by Kenneth Branagh and a failure of a film. Not as best adaptation. Cymbaline in 2014. This was starring Ethan Hawk. It is an adaptation of one of Shakespeare's most obscure plays. I couldn't even tell you what that one's about. It's one of the few plays I think I haven't like read and studied.

SPEAKER_05 54:51

I actually guy who's a salesman, a door-to-door salesman.

SPEAKER_06 54:56

He's trying to sell, he's a symbol salesman. Uh The Tempest from 2010. This one stars Helen Miran playing a role that is traditionally played by a man, uh, the Wizard Prospero. Uh, I actually thought it was a pretty good adaptation. I don't know why it has such a low score. Uh, here's the one you were talking about, Kev earlier, Titus. Yes. Uh, this is the Anthony Hopkins adaptation of Titus and Geronicus. Um, it's a weird adaptation of it. It's a very brutal play, very violent play. It's the play that Shakespeare wrote after the death of his son, so you can feel his anger in it. And uh this adaptation tried to stylize it in a way that was very like the Baslerman Romeo and Juliet. It was Julie Kmore who did the uh musical movie production of the producers. And uh you can kind of feel it. It's it's it's a little too colorful and stylized for a movie that's for a story that's supposed to be so brutal. And 2013's Romeo and Juliet. This one stars Haley Steinfeld and Paul Giamatti as uh as uh as Romeo? As no, as one of the that would be weird. So it's her, she's Juliet, obviously. I don't know who the actor is that plays Romeo, and the dads are played by Paul Giamatti, and the other father is played by Damian Lewis, who is in Homeland, the actor from Homeland. So it's it's very boring. Very, very boring. It was like one of those things kind of like jumping on the popularity of Haley Steinfield at the time, but it was like not a very good adaptation. All right, there are so many adaptations, we can't talk about them all. I have some honorable mentions here. A 1978 BBC miniseries called Will Shakespeare. Not a very good series, very dry, very British. Uh, but it does start Tim Curry as William Shakespeare, and Tim Curry, of course, is fucking awesome. Uh Shakespeare and Love from 1998, the film that uh notoriously beat saving Private Ryan for Best Picture that year. Uh, I love I love this movie. I love it. The adaptation of Romeo and Juliet they do at the end of this is the best adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Uh but I still think seeing Private Ryan should have won the movie the best picture. And then Hamnet, which came out last year with Jesse Buckley and Paul Mell. Jesse Buckley won. Yeah, it's a very, very good movie. Very sad. Um, but really well acted. And Jesse Buckley won the Academy Award for Best Actors this year for this film. And any of a number of Akira Kurosawa adaptations. Uh, I love Akira Kurosawa, and his adaptations of Shakespeare are amazing. Ron, which is an adaptation of King Lear, and Throne of Blood, which is an adaptation of Macbeth, and probably my favorite McBeth adaptation. All right, so we're gonna play a quick game called Is It Shakespeare. I got a few plots here that I wrote, and I just want you to tell me if you think it's Shakespeare or not.

SPEAKER_02 57:43

Just to interrupt for a minute. Study styles linebacker, Ohio State went to Washington.

SPEAKER_06 57:48

A lot of lot of defensive players going so far. Yeah. Other than like that quarterback and a running back earlier. All right, here we go. A young heir wronged by a treacherous royal court must proclaim his rightful place on the throne. Shakespeare or regular movie.

SPEAKER_05 58:09

Shakespeare.

SPEAKER_06 58:11

It's actually both. It's the Lion King and Hamlet. Here we go. A young maiden is drawn to an immortal suitor whose love brings them both passion and peril.

SPEAKER_05 58:28

Movie. Movie.

SPEAKER_06 58:31

This is Twilight.

SPEAKER_05 58:34

I was gonna say Dracula, but yeah.

SPEAKER_06 58:36

You're close. I mean, I would have worked for that one too. It's vampire. Yeah. A nobleman tempted by prophecy commits foul deeds in order to steal the crown.

SPEAKER_05 58:45

Shakespeare.

SPEAKER_06 58:47

Yes, that is Macbeth. A man dons an enchanted mask, unleashing a chaotic spirit of boundless mischief.

SPEAKER_04 58:57

The mask.

SPEAKER_06 59:01

I read it wrong. I actually read one of the words. I read a word I was supposed to leave out. Uh a lady is a young lady is cast ashore when her boat crashes, uh, pretends to be a man, and falls in love with uh a guy that she meets on in the new place she lands. Shakespeare? It is Shakespeare. It is Twelfth Night. Yes. A uh a cunning robe adopts many disguises and deceives all while fleeing from justice. Movie. Yes. This is catch me if you can. This was not easy to do, I want you to know. Like trying to write things in a way that sounds kind of like Shakespeare. Two men, one of law and one of crime, form an uneasy alliance, each doubting the other's true soul.

SPEAKER_05 59:58

Movie.

SPEAKER_06 59:59

This is that is the departed. Could also be heat. That actually kind of works too. A ruler consumed by jealousy, destroys his own house through suspicion and fear.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:12

Shakespeare. Yeah, I think Shakespeare. Is this King Lear?

SPEAKER_06 1:00:18

This is it could be King Lear as well. This is a winter's tale, which is one of his lesser-known plays. Uh, actually, King Lear kind of fits too. A band of friends seeking respite, awaken an eat ancient evil that delights in their doom.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:33

That's a movie.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:35

That is one of my favorite horror films of the 2000s, Cabin in the Woods. A once great actor perfor uh wrestles with pride and glory upon the stage.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:53

Movie. Movie.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:55

Yes, that is uh Michael Keaton's bird man. Uh two more. Oh, I got three more for you. Here we go. A I can't do this one. This one's way too easy. A grand park of wondrous beasts born not of nature, but of man's ambition descends into chaos. Repeat it, please. A grand park of wondrous beasts born not of nature, but of man's ambition descend into chaos.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:30

Movie? Movie.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:32

Yes, this is the one that you guys fucking pissed me off about last week by voting against Jurassic Park. Uh, a fellowship of thieves bound by greed turn upon each other when fortune falters.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:46

Movie, uh reservoir dogs.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:48

Reservoir dogs, very good, sir. Uh, a man cursed to relive a moment until he mends his ways. Very good. I didn't expect you guys to guess the movies too, but I'm proud of you. And the last one I got here. A master of the arcane arts conjures storms to test his foes and shape his daughter's fate.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:22

I'm gonna have to say movie because I'm not I'm not recalling any Shakespeare where there's a guy with mystical powers who who works on behalf of his daughter.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:34

So this is the Shakespeare play The Tempest. I wonder Tempest, which is about a sorcerer named Prespero, uh who can who can uh who can conjure storms. That's why it's called the Tempest. Uh speaking of conjuring, Mike, uh season four of Vox Machina is debuting soon. Yeah, I know. That is all I got for the night for this.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:55

Do you have any beer trivia, Mike? I do. During the Middle Ages, beer remained an important part of literary and religious life, particularly within monasteries. Monks, among the most skilled brewers of the time, record the brewing methods in religious texts. His writings went beyond technical, emphasizing beer's spiritual role and its connection to hospitality and charity. In the Renaissance, the rise of humanism and artists artistic expression brought beer into more secular literature. William Shakespeare Shakespeare frequently used speer and tavern settings to reveal characters and social dynamics. And Henry IV, part one, for example, the tavern became a central stage for exploring friendship, loyalty, and conflict, with beer serving as a social bond that unites the characters.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:52

I was gonna say the first part there wasn't surprising. Monks can't talk, motherfuckers have to find something else to do. We have a cinema quote of the week. I think I used it before, but it works tonight.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:06

When you do Shakespeare, they think you must be intelligent because they think you understand what you're saying. Helen Miriam.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:15

Kind of upsets me considering she starred in that Tempest adaptation I was talking about earlier. She knew what she was saying. I'm gonna share. I have my own quote of the week here. I'm gonna share real quick. This is a picture of Shakespeare's grave at the church in Stratford upon Avon, where he's buried. And there is a uh epitaph over the grave site that reads, Good friend, for Jesus' sake, forbear to dig the dust and close it here. Blessed be the man who spares these bones, and cursed be the man or that spares these stones, and cursed be the man that moves my bones. So basically, uh leave my body where it is, or I'm gonna order you out of cursed.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:55
