It’s a new episode of Yesterday’s Matinee! 

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!!!!

Join Adam, Courtney, Mike and myself as we discuss the 1955 musical comedy “The Court Jester” starring Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone, Angela Lansbury and Cecil Parker.

Content Warning: This film was released before the MPAA rating system, but if it was released today, it’d probably get a G rating. There is mild violence and sexual innuendo.

Music credit: “Days of Blood and Fire” by Illumina A.D. (arr. by Kenny Cappadona)

Quote of the week

“When the sun is coming up/And the world has come ashore/If you’re hoping for a harbour/Then you’ll find an open door/In the winter, from the water/Through whatever’s in the way/To the ones who have come from away/Welcome to the Rock!”

~ “Welcome to the Rock”, from Come From Away, Book, Music and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein
