This week, we're going over a film that is close to my heart that is an unofficial adaptation of another film close to my heart, its A Fistful of Dollars, the famous adaptation of Yojimbo that never asked if it was okay until after it was released. We go over the similarities and some of the differences as well as one key theme that is completely lost in translation.

So let's ride off into the desert on a horse with no name! Don't be a troll, be an artist!

This week, we've got to go fast with Sonic The Hedgehog! Video Game adaptations have had a bad rap, but this one is actually pretty good. We go over the references and riffs in the film from both the games and other films. We even discuss some of my own attempts at video game adaptations at the end.

So strap in, kid, we're in for the fastest ride of our lives with Sonic here, on Reel of Thieves!

This week, we're diving into the realm of Shakespeare adaptations with the most recent, Joel Cohn's The Tragedy of Macbeth. I can't be happier that I chose it because it's absolutely incredible. Also, is seeing a film heavily influenced by German Expressionism and power-hungry rulers a sign of the times? Probably! Smoke 'em if you got 'em, boys, the night is dark and full of terrors.

We go over the behind-the-scenes documentary, introduce Computer as a permanent fixture of our show (you're welcome), shout out all our fans in Germany, and dive into the play and some major themes before wrapping it up with our week's assignment.

Art is the antidote to our ills. Let's get to it.
