The Trailer:
The Review:
As promised, here is the review of the trailer for the BBC’s “The Hollow Crown,” the upcoming four movies of “Richard II”, “Henry IV Part I”, “Henry IV Part II”, and “Henry V”, in context with what the trailer says about the sequence itself.
In this episode, I examine the clip released from the BBC “The Hollow Crown,” which shows Henry IV (Jeremy Irons) berating Hal (Tom Hiddleston). Somehow a two minute clip bore several more minutes of commentary. Love how that works.
Here is the clip in its entirety:

And here is the trailer, again, in case you haven’t seen the 60 straight-up seconds of awesomeness:

A more editorial Wednesday than most, but I wanted to get to Henry IV Part I!
Today’s topic:
Henry IV berates Prince Hal in Henry IV, Part I- but there is more to this speech than meets the eye, and finding that out involves discussion of the prequel, Richard II! The clip here is from “The Hollow Crown”, and I will be examining the full clip this Friday in the same vein as the Richard II clip breakdown from last week.
