Pitch Party: Romeo + Juliet

Devon Dozlaw Season 2 Episode 13

For the final Pitch Party episode within the “Sexy Swordfights” theme, Devon, Bart and Alexis discuss entirely fabricated adaptations of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. While there have been countless versions of the play performed on stages across the globe, and several filmmakers have taken cracks at bringing the story to the screen, very few R + J video games exist. Devon and Bart present alternate histories where Luhrmann’s gaudy 1996 film spawned some role-playing video games in which players could place themselves within the shoes of the titular star crossed lovers…and their friends? Ultimately, Alexis must decide which pitch should be willed into existence
