Romeo and Juliet, But Make it Funny

Y’all know the drill!  Shakespeare’s classic - boy and girl meet, fall in love immediately, and, through a series of misadventures, die.  Sure, it’s famous, but does it hold up?!  Jackie single-handedly defeats the whole purpose of the podcast.  Theo taints the whole thing.  Rachel helps high schoolers cheat on a quiz.  Topics include: secret societies, chocolate assholes, Ann Hathaway’s performance in Interstellar, the origin of bacon, early aughts fashion, Kony 2012, Jimmy Stewart, biting thumbs, arranged marriages, 100% illiteracy, Romiette and Julio, potions, West Side Story, the Muppets, The Lion King 2, 10 Things I Hate About You, She’s the Man, the Sarlacc, and evocative Italian things. Content warning: death, suicide, poison, stabbing, honestly way too much talk about chocolate assholes. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
