Welcome to the first episode of 'Shakespeare Month!'. This week on The Seat Struck Movie Podcast, John, Curtis, and special guest Robin discuss the Baz Luhrmann classic: ROMEO + JULIET! In the first half we discuss the film, going over our experiences with Romeo and Juliet, the performances and visual style of the film, and whether this works well as an introductory text to Shakespeare.
In the second half, we chat what we watched this week. We will return next week with another 90s Shakespeare adaptation: 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU.
