Over The Popcorn Bowl — Season 1 — Episode 2: Romeo + Juliet

In the second episode of “Over The Popcorn Bowl,” seniors Christi Norris, Amanda Hare, Gabby Winans and Alyssa Clark discuss their thoughts and opinions on "Romeo + Juliet". This adaptation of Shakespeare's famous play Romeo and Juliet was released on 27 Oct 1996 making this year the 25th anniversary of the film. (In the episode it was said that the release date was 1 Nov 1996 which was a mistake by the hosts.) "Romeo + Juliet" is directed by Baz Lurhman and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo and Claire Danes as Juliet. This film differs from other versions of the play because it has a modern setting but kept the original script.  Amanda: 7/10 Gabby: 6/10 Christi: 9/10 Alyssa: 8/10 Topics Covered: Romeo + Juliet Shakespeare Leonardo DiCaprio Claire Danes Paul Rudd Baz Lurhman
