85 - A Dolls House
Bros Before Shows
Spoiler alert for Hereditary (2018). Yes, that does make sense in context. Buckle in fellas as we dive into some early proto-feminism in the form of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, specifically the *really* hard to find adaptation from 1973 with David Warner and Jane Fonda (with a brief mention of the... other 1973 adaptation which features Anthony Hopkins and Claire Bloom). Yeah, it's confusing. And feminist. Woo! Also Matt talks about the Mabou Mines production, but forgets the name of the company. Hosted by Matthew and Robert Tiemstra (@The_Timestar) Edited by Matthew Tiemstra...

Special 7 - A Star is Born
Bros Before Shows
This Oscar season, we're taking a shallow dive into a film that has been made 4 TIMES (and that's only counting English Language Hollywood adaptations). We watched 3 of them back to back, so if we sound a little sleep deprived, this is why.
info_outlineIt's another Sidney Lumet day here at Bros Before Shows! Listen as we discuss Lumet's first film, 12 Angry Men (or "Twelve Assholes in a Room Trying to figure out What to Do", as Matt calls it).
