Why do people dislike Twelfth Night? Because it’s the internet, sometimes the reasoning is silly, but as when it comes to any piece of art, there’s always a valid reason to dislike something. Could it be because you dislike the genre of the play? Maybe!

I’m on vacation this week, so bringing you a previously recorded episode before finding our way back to the mythology discussion. Please enjoy my brother and I bouncing off each other as we consider one star reviews of Twelfth Night. I try not to get defensive as people come for this play with varying degrees of success.

Listening to this conversation a second time, I was at times disappointed in myself for not getting more scholarly in response, but that’s the risk with having to respond to things in real time. Plus, if you want a more scholarly take on Twelfth Night, you can go listen to my episode on it!
