We're two queer girls who never stop talking about movies. Our current series is THE SHAKE UP! Episodes every last Wednesday.

  1. The Merchant of Venice - THE SHAKE UP

    FEB 25

    The Merchant of Venice - THE SHAKE UP

    Three trousers parts, unorthodox legal documents and a whole lot of bigotry---what could it be but The Merchant of Venice? We're doing our best with this one, y'all. TW: Antisemitism, racism

    1h 34m
  2. King John - THE SHAKE UP

    JAN 28

    King John - THE SHAKE UP

    It's now year two with the Bard, and we're kicking it off with a play that it's very possible you have never heard of. Who the heck is King John, and what does he have to do with the 1960s???

    1h 23m
  3. Hamlet (Round 1)

    12/31/2025

    Hamlet (Round 1)

    One year of Shakespeare come and gone, and to celebrate we're giving ourselves and you a little treat: we're talking Hamlet. It's not just any matchup, either. Today it's Branagh vs. Olivier, no holds barred. Who's the real prince of Denmark, and who is a quintessence of dust?

    1h 35m
  4. Richard II - THE SHAKE UP

    11/26/2025

    Richard II - THE SHAKE UP

    Heads up... the audio is real rough on this one. Sorry. We're comparing two versions of the play that makes people say, "wait, there was a Richard II?"

    1h 18m
  5. Romeo and Juliet - THE SHAKE UP

    10/29/2025

    Romeo and Juliet - THE SHAKE UP

    Romeo and Juliet is great--who'da thunk! But there's a lot to unpack in the two most famous film adaptations, and in the play itself.

    1h 28m
  6. A Midsummer Night's Dream - THE SHAKE UP

    09/24/2025

    A Midsummer Night's Dream - THE SHAKE UP

    We may have gone a bit overboard on this one. In our defense, come on. It's A Midsummer Night's Dream! Content warning: excessive ranting about Mickey Rooney.

    1h 45m
  7. Love's Labour's Lost - THE SHAKE UP

    08/27/2025

    Love's Labour's Lost - THE SHAKE UP

    We didn't know anything about it either, but hey! It's a comedy! This is also the entrance of our man Kenny B to the podcast, and you really have to see it to believe it.

    1h 20m
  8. The Comedy of Errors - THE SHAKE UP

    07/30/2025

    The Comedy of Errors - THE SHAKE UP

    If it has so many errors, why didn't he just get an editor (I apologize immediately)? This is a wacky one, and each version has its own interesting celebrity cast member with differing degrees of likelihood. It's time for double trouble in Ephesus!
