from talkabout: A Film Podcast

Send us Fan Mail It's time to delve deep into the fictional retelling of a real love story, the story of William and Agnes Shakespeare, depicted in Chloe Zhao's new film: 'Hamnet'. We have our Horrible Histories heads on and separate the fact from the fiction, whilst highlighting some amazing pieces of acting and detailing why this is our favourite Chloé Zhao film to date. We create a Top 5 of Golden Globe best Drama winners, as well as discussing our special skills and accents - is Shakespearean on the list?
