What do you get when you mix a notorious Gang of New York, class warfare, nationalist pride, a deep and abiding love of the Bard of Avon and a rotting sheep carcass? The Shakespeare Riots, that's what. If shouting "fire!" in a crowded theater sounds like your idea of a good time, this episode is for you. Or, if you happen to be a sports fan or just a fan of absolute and complete mayhem, our dive into the 1904 Olympic Marathon, aka the most demented race ever run, might be up your alley. So lace up your running shoes, choke down a strychnine and egg white omelet (breakfast of champions!) and try not to die on your way to the finish line of this episode.
