This week on Pass, Pirate, Pay, Ken and Andy grab Yorick’s skull, stare into the void, and ask the only question that matters: to stream, to skip, or to spend?
We’re diving into three very different riffs on the Bard’s most broody prince:
🎭 Renaissance Man – Danny DeVito plays an ad-man-turned-Army-English-teacher who uses Hamlet to whip a group of underachieving recruits into intellectual shape. Shakespeare… but with push-ups.
🎮 Grand Theft Hamlet – A wildly modern, chaotic experiment that stages Hamlet inside the world of Grand Theft Auto. Existential dread, digital mayhem, and probably fewer swordfights than drive-bys (but not by much).
📜 Hamnet – A more intimate, emotional take connected to the life of Shakespeare himself, exploring grief, family, and the shadow that loss casts over art. The quiet, devastating side of the story behind the story.
From military barracks to video game anarchy to historical heartbreak, we’re exploring how one moody Danish prince keeps getting reborn in the weirdest corners of cinema. Which one earns a Pay, which gets a Pirate, and which hears the sweet whisper of Pass?
Grab your ruff collar, question your existence, and hit play. 🎙️
