Bros Before Shows

The Tiemstra Brothers

Here we are, twin brothers in sister cities with a strange urge: To talk about stage to screen (and screen to stage) adaptations! Follow us as we bumble through some of the greatest cross-pollination between mediums since people figured out they didn't have to write original material for the screen!

This week, the Tiemstra Bros discuss another overlooked Frank Capra film: Arsenic and Old Lace! Did we really enjoy this goofy dark comedy, or did we find its shenanigans too hard to swallow? That's the tease, just watch the episode!

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.

Tennessee Williams strikes again! This time with a film version he hated! In this episode, The Tiemstra Bros. discuss how the film preserves so many surface level parts of the source material... while not quite understanding why Williams hated it so much.

Meredith Wilson's 1957 classic won the hearts of America, but will its 1962 adaptation pull a fast one 57 years later? Join the Tiemstra Bros. as they delve into what might be a timeless classic, or might be a 2 and a half hour re-staging of the original piece with the barest hint of a change.

Or...BOTH?!?! Co-hosted and edited by Matthew Tiemstra (@ClockworkPlay) Co-hosted and produced by Robert Tiemstra (@The_Timestar)

02/09/18 • 31 min

Continuing Black History Month, the Tiemstra Bros. (in a surprisingly spoiler-free episode) delve into Lorraine Hansberry's 1958 Classic adapted for a 1961 screen!

Is Sydney Poitier able to do justice to the character he got a Tony nod for? Is the play really about his character, or is it about Claudia McNeil? And PIGLET?!?!

It's cross-dressin' time! Well, it always is, but this time it is in 1934 Paris! Join the Tiemstra Bros. as we visit this '82 exploration of Homosexuality, cross-dressing, and gender politics in a world that doesn't quite understand any of it. Does it hold up, or is it a cringefest?

There was only so many Shakespeare Adaptations we could cover before we got to Kenneth Branagh, the Northern Irish actor and filmmaker who made some of the most iconic Shakespeare film adaptations! But for our first foray into his filmography, we're talking about one of his less popular efforts: Love's Labour's Lost!
