We're back and we've watched the Northanger Abbey 2007 Film! T and I were grumpy at the start of this record but we eventually get into it (EEEE TILNEY!)
We discuss the differences between the book and the film, the different dynamics between the Thorpes and Catherine and the Tilneys and Catherine, the family dynamics coming into play, the way the gothic themes were played out in the film, the ridiculousness that we love, and TILNEY! The soup scene made us laugh hysterically. :)
Come join us for some silly fun!

We're doing the last episode of the 1995 mini series! We're discussing the family dynamics amongst the Bennets, the ways that Darcy is on his hero arc, how Wickham is the worst - WICKHAM IS THE WORST, that this Lady Catherine de Bourgh enjoys the drama and does it so well, and how this ending was sweet and joyful.
Continue listening to hear Theresa's conversion into a Janeite! <3
Thank you for joining us along this re-watch! Thank you for choosing us for your entertainment during this weird time. :)

We're back for episode 5 of the Pride and Prejudice mini series! We're talking about the respectful lusting, Daddy Darcy, and how Darcy and Elizabeth will be as parents. We're talking about why we love Darcy's growth arc, why rescue mode Darcy isn't always the best, and why sibling love still takes centre stage in Austen's work. We're talking about the Bennet family dynamics, why Mrs. Bennet has no chill, and why Mary is queer. We both think Kitty shined in this episode. T does not like the hallucination Darcy. And that this is our favourite episode :)
Come join us for some fan rants and back and forths :)

We've got some new-ish episodes heading your way. We've been taking a little break for a while now, and have had these ones sitting around waiting to be posted. As we head into reading our next book - Persuasion - we'll be posting some of these old records while you wait!
In this episode T is said that there is less gayness, likes Judy Dench better, and compares this episode to Twilight. Kate is still a super fan who is there for all the wet t-shirts and pinky rings. Come join us and have some fun!

These three chapters are Kate's three chapters - and we talk about WHY! Catherine has convinced herself that General Tilney is a murderer - and she has to find her way back to Mrs Tilney's bedroom to finish her investigation. But in classic Scooby-Doo mystery fashion - Catherine realizes that she's been making up her own ghost story. We discuss Catherine's fall back to reality - and how being caught by Henry is the one who unmasks the villain! (The villain is Catherine's imagination)
And HENRY! Omg - he is amazing. Not only is he a perfect example of secure attachment - he supports her through the end of her friendship with Isabella and the emotional fall out. We love him soooooo much!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Things are heating up! This episode we've got some dialectics, some grey rocking, some amazing flirting, and some sparkle goths. Join us while we complain about Isabella being Isabella, while we gush about how Catherine handles interpersonal conflict so well, and while we (mostly Kate) sing Tilney's praises!
Do you think Catherine would be the most optimistic goth you've ever met? Did your parents arrange your play dates? Are you excited to be getting out of Bath and away from the horrible Thorpes?

We're back! Whoo! Theresa is happier - cause we got more Tilney and less John Thorpe! We love Catherine standing up for herself and setting those boundaries and taking action. <3 We love Tilney! TILNEY! We talk about healthy communication and cute flirting. :) We hate the Thorpes. Seriously... they are the worst! We meet General Tilney.... The Allens step up. We finally get our walk! They talk about BOOKS! Eleanor and Henry are cute and kind and silly siblings. Catherine is sweet and thoughtful.
Theresa has predictions... Is Catherine a murdered? Will Generally Tilney be covering up a murder? They don't know but a murder must happen! Kate is biting their tongue and not giving anything away. Come join us and have fun. Whether you've read Northanger Abbey before or it's your first time, come enjoy some silly sibling mental health chat.

TW for this episode: Some discussion of Domestic Violence.
We're back... kinda! Due to some health and life issues, we haven't set out a recording schedule for Northanger. So this is an extra episode to tie you over. In this episode, we discuss the 2005 film adaptation! Our conclusion, it's weird. It's a good movie, but it's weird. Also - you know what this movie needs, BUTTS! From cat Judy Dench to Darcy being trapped in a statue, we cover it all. Enjoy!

We’re back and almost done Pride and Prejudice. This episode had it all! Lady Catherine being entitled, Lizzy taking no shit, Collins being Collings, Mrs Bennet giving us second hand embarrassment, Mr Bennet being his sarcastic self, Jane and Bingley being super adorable, and Darcy! DARCY! We love love!
Why do we love Darcy and Elizabeth? They get tongue tied talking to each other. They will treat each other like equals. They create a strong healthy foundation (SERIOUSLY! SWOONY THERAPIST STUFF!). And, they are so excessively cute awkward turtles! We love love!
