Listen "Episode 70: “The Shakespeare Code” and “Vincent And The Doctor”"
Episode Synopsis
We take a quick moment to discuss our ever more ridiculous raft of technical difficulties, then consider the trailer for the 12th Doctor's swansong, "Twice Upon A Time." After that, we're onto our very first debate of this new era with a pair of celebrity historicals. Spoiler alert: One of these absolutely trounces the other. Allison nerds out over how "The Shakespeare Code" could be so much more Shakespearean than it actually is, and we discuss the episode's glib handling of being a person of color in Elizabethan England. "Vincent And The Doctor," by contrast, is one that speaks to us on a deep level, as we praise its empathy and nuance while opening up a little bit about how personally this episode affects us.
