Season 2 Episode 1: Julius Grab the Girl, Julius Caesar Act 1
February 02, 2023 17:00 - 53 minutes - 49.5 MBWho are the villains? Who are the heroes? Are there any heroes in politics? Why do people like this play? Was JC a tyrant? Did Brutus stab him in the BALLS??!!! Answers to all these and more... will be attempted. 😏 We discuss Plutarch (*yawn*) and then quickly move on to blood and murder and overthrow of governments and some river named the Rubicon. Kicking off our second season with some hot Romans (at least we like to imagine Mark Antony with a sixpack and excellent cheekbones). Want mor...

December 22, 2022 17:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBWhat to do when your husband thinks you've been cheating on him? In Act 4: Scene 3 of Othello we get two very different opinions from two very different women. It's one of those rare scenes in Shakespeare's plays that has only women in it, and if you think Shakespeare didn't care about women then you haven't listened to his female characters. Also, there's a FckShakespeare holiday tune at the end. Don't miss it! 😁🎄 For more info, please visit our website: fckshakespeare.com --- Support...

Episode 65: Goats and Monkeys!, Othello Act 4
December 08, 2022 17:00 - 51 minutes - 47.3 MBThe animal imagery starts to get pretty heavy in Act 4 as Othello gets mind-f*cked by that demon, Iago. Goats, monkeys, minxes, skunks... There's no telling who or what is having sex in his imagination. He is sliding far from the noble, charismatic hero we first met back in Act 1. That's why they call it a tragedy... Want to know more?

In a jealous froth, he tells Des the story of where the handkerchief came from and it's f*cking terrifying!! It's all downhill from here for them.

Episode 63: It's Guy Love! - Othello, Act 3
November 24, 2022 17:09 - 1 hour - 96.2 MBIs Iago in love with Othello? Does he hate that about himself? Wouldn't that be motivation to destroy first everyone else that Othello loves and then the man himself? Hey, it's a theory we have... see what you think. In this whopper of a scene, Act 3: Scene 3, the antitheses, the opposites in the themes of the play start to swap places. Watch as Othello's language changes and he begins adopting Iago's word choices - bestial imagery for sure. It's a fascinating study in psychological manipula...

November 03, 2022 16:15 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBMeet Desdemona. She's kind, beautiful and generous, and yes, she will ultimately be an innocent victim, but she ain't so virginal and proper. The girl knows what she wants! She knew exactly what she was attracted to and she went out and got it, and her father and the old white dudes in Venice can't believe their ears! Pay attention to the word 'ear' which gets repeated a LOT in this scene too. Is it a coincidence that ear is Elizabethan slang for vagina? PLEASE, if you want to be part of...

Episode 55: Malcolm's Fig Leaf, Macbeth Act 5
September 29, 2022 16:00 - 25 minutes - 23.9 MBThat is... forest. 😁 Since Act 5 goes back and forth from the Scottish to the English, we thought we'd just lump those English scenes in together here and tell you a bit about that invading army. Did you know that Siward was Malcolm's grandfather? That must have made some of those Scottish lords a bit uncomfortable, no? To think their future king was half English? But the listening King James was a similar hybrid. Context is everything. Want to know more? Connect with us on our website: h...
Episode 54: Out Damned Spot! Macbeth Act 5
September 22, 2022 16:01 - 44 minutes - 41.6 MBIt's our last chance to see the delicious Lady M. in all her madness and majesty. Absolutely heartbreaking... if you listen. And we're going to save all the Malcolm and company scenes to put together in the next episode, so here also is 5:3 with Mr. Mac back from the green room with all his renewed energy, driving toward his inevitable end. At least he can go out as a soldier. Let's face it, he sucked as a king. Want to know more? Connect with us on our website: https://fckshakespeare.com ...
Episode 53: Man Up, Macduff! - Macbeth Act 4
September 15, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 82.1 MBMacduff is that late-in-the-game hero who comes to save the day, but only after huge personal cost. This third scene of Act 4 is a very weird one at first, and we get a glimpse into how to talk to someone you think is only trying to kill you. Malcolm has been hiding away in England while the rest of his countrymen are getting slaughtered, but apparently Macbeth has sent others to try and kill him. He believes that Macduff is just one more potential assassin, so he puts him to a series of ver...
Episode 52: The Other Woman, Macbeth Act 4
September 08, 2022 16:00 - 20 minutes - 19.3 MBShe's the anti-Lady Macbeth, the other woman in this bloody tragedy, and the most innocent of all that get murdered. It sucks. If there is one scene that turns the tide against Macbeth and makes the audience start to doubt their homeboy, this is it. Killing kids is bad. So we'll keep it brief, because we know how you feel.

Episode 49: Things Bad Begun, Macbeth Act 3
August 18, 2022 16:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBWhen you start out by killing your king, everything else should be easy, right? Turns out that killing your best bud is worse. Mac is losing it. Lady Mac thinks being queen sucks. It's all going to hell... as was our tech this week. PLEASE FORGIVE US for the messy sound and crazy jumble that we made of this episode.

Episode 48: This Old Man, He Played One, Macbeth Act 3
August 12, 2022 16:00 - 52 minutes - 48.7 MBOne weird little scene that seems pointless until you know something crucial about how the kings of Scotland were crowned. Followed by an interview with a couple of murderers who are going to take a bit of bloody biz off Mac's hands. Scottish kings were brought to Scone for their investiture and there ensued an elaborate ceremony that involved the Stone of Scone. It is an ancient piece of granite that, legend has it, came over to Scotland with an Egyptian princess named Scota. She snatched ...
Episode 47: The Murderous Shaft, Macbeth Act 2
August 04, 2022 16:00 - 52 minutes - 48.2 MBKnock knock. Who's there? Con. Con who? Condom broke. I'm your kid. No, there are no surprise babies in this scene, but there is one teensy bit of comic relief the the form of the Porter. And then... horror, horror, horror...
