Bite Your Thumb!: Recent Episodes
Lipp Media
Welcome to ‘Bite Your Thumb’, a comedic interview show -- hosted by a hater of 'Romeo and Juliet' -- that takes guests into fair Verona to uncover why we love re-visiting, adapting, transforming and upholding this famous story. Prepare your fatal loins and pilgrim lips, and keep your nurse on stand by for a very jaded and sarcastic rediscovering of the greatest "love story" that ends in death of all time!

This week we put on our pearls, polish our opera glasses and dive into the West End madness that is the Max Martin jukebox musical '& Juliet, a camp romp that "answers" the question as to what would happen if Juliet didn't end her life at the end of the original play; certainly not going to therapy, apparently. Joining on this adventure is writer, director, actor and podcaster Molly Daniels, with whom we discuss queer representation, accessibility, how media exploits "queer pride" and "girl power" and trolls ... the Justin Timberlake one ...

This week we dive into Australian theatre, cultural commodities and how we're taught Shakespeare in school ultimately shapes how we perform it, with one time player of Romeo, Samuel Rowe! And is the title of this episode a Green Day pun? Yes ... yes it is.

This week we dive head first into the world of fandom and shipping with Michelle of the One Shot podcast, and discuss how tropes in fan-fiction writing and the academia around Shakespeare contributes not only internalised misogyny and odd AU fics, but on a more positive note, a deep love of One Direction!

This week we are joined by Marie Kelly to visit a dual film review of Romeo and Juliet, written by teenage me a decade back; will we be able to survive the belly ache laughter induced by this incredibly unforgiving homework assignment?!

Episode 3 takes us on a fascinating conversation with Bell Shakespeare's Artistic Director Peter Evans, with a background in Australian theatre, strong thoughts on his directorial choices of a production of R+J in 2016, and how toxic patriarchy and the blind, prejudiced rule of the older generation rules the world of young doomed lovers ... hmm, sound familiar?

This week we take a dive into the world of improv comedy, how R+J's format does NOT suit the format at all, terrible literary ties to socio-political articles and how Taylor Swift captured our hearts with this love story with teacher, actor and comedy troupe Soothplayer's co-founder Adam Hembree.

In this debut, solo episode of 'Bite Your Thumb!,' Jessica takes the plunge and re-reads Romeo and Juliet for the first time in almost a decade! Will she despise it as much as she did as a moody 14 year old that tried REALLY hard to enjoy The Sex Pistols to seem edgy, or will she see that it's more fun to read than she originally gave it credit for?

Hi, my name is Jessica. I'm a writer and Shakespeare fan, and yet ... I hate Romeo and Juliet. Alright alright, before you start throwing your rotten parsnips onto my platform, allow me to explain myself episode by episode. Who knows, maybe my mind can be changed (aside) Probs not!
Bite Your Thumb! will be premiering at your local Globe Theatre, or wherever you listen to podcasts in 2020!
