Ep 20: One-Star Shakespeare, Twelfth Night Edition with Guest Ben Roman

Why do people dislike Twelfth Night? Because it's the internet, sometimes the reasoning is silly, but as when it comes to any piece of art, there's always a valid reason to dislike something. Could it be because you dislike the genre of the play? Maybe!

I'm on vacation this week, so bringing you a previously recorded episode before finding our way back to the mythology discussion. Please enjoy my brother and I bouncing off each other as we consider one star reviews of Twelfth Night. I try not to get defensive as people come for this play with varying degrees of success.

Listening to this conversation a second time, I was at times disappointed in myself for not getting more scholarly in response, but that's the risk with having to respond to things in real time. Plus, if you want a more scholarly take on Twelfth Night, you can go listen to my episode on it!
