Description

Yes, sir, this is an episode of The Bookening about _Macbeth. _In it our heroes discuss _Macbeth. _You should listen to it. It's good. You'll learn lots about Macbeth. Which is a surprisingly thorny play to discuss. After all, just what is so great about a play re: some thug and his castrating shrew of a wife murdering a bunch of people and then feeling bad about it and making a bunch of speeches?
