0:00.0	Hi, this is Steve.
0:04.2	When I was an undergrad studying theatre and political science at Berkeley, I decided
0:08.8	to enroll in a graduate course where they devoted an entire semester to analyzing a single
0:14.6	play.
0:15.6	Now you wouldn't think it would be possible to spend 15-3 hour classes on one play, but
0:21.2	when the play is William Shakespeare's Hamlet, you'd be surprised at how deep you can go.
0:26.8	He looked at Hamlet from every conceivable angle, from the way the groundline saw it when
0:31.3	it premiered in the early 1600s, to how it was rewritten with a happy ending in the 1750s,

1:15.3	Even after all these hours of discussion, John and I continue to make discoveries, explore

1:24.8	So if you still haven't seen these incredible films, a visit to cinephiles.net is definitely
1:30.8	in order, and if you happen to support the show on patreon.com slash the cinephiles, right
