Description
England, Prince Hal, and John Falstaff are still a hot mess in the third part of Shakespeare’s Henriad, but maturity and the burdens of the crown are on the horizon as another rebellion materializes, King Henry falls ill, and Sir Jack feels his age while hanging around a house of ill repute. In this episode, Will and James discuss toxic friendships, the responsibilities of leadership, and why Falstaff is the equivalent of Matthew McConaughey’s character in “Dazed and Confused.” All right, all right, all right! // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); Illustrative Excerpts: “Chimes at Midnight,” dir. Orson Welles (1965); “Dazed and Confused,” dir. Richard Linklater (1993)
