Zach welcomes back podcaster Rashmi Menon (YBR Presents KOWAI) onto the show to revisit the wide world of Welles with a look at his 1948 attempt at the Bard Avon, MACBETH.
Something fun this way comes as the duo get to the hurly-burly that was an expedited and tension-fueled production, discuss the reputation of Republic Studios and how this film was a deviation from their usual output, unpack the play’s re-telling and how the performances square up to expectation, debate the merits of pre-recorded sound for film, and finally settle upon the ways Welles’ take on the Scottish play has permeated into the very films and Shakespeare adaptations we see today.
