    Pride and Prejudice (1995) Ep. 5 - The Balm of Sisterly Consolation

    As timely as Walder Frey, Kylie and Julia return to chat about the fifth episode 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, where they actually manage to limit their ball-in-cup enthusiasm to 90 seconds. In this episode, Mary discovers patriarchy, Elizabeth is definitely not upset about anything in particular, Mr. Darcy buys Mrs. Lovett's meat pies, Kitty passes the potatoes, and Jane can think that, if it gives her comfort.

    Pride and Prejudice (1995) Ep. 4 - Mr. Darcy Shall Conquer This

    Kylie and Julia discuss the fourth episode 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, doing their best to ignore their posting schedule and Kylie's hyper-fixation with a tree.  In this episode, Mr. Darcy brings the receipts, Lydia and Kitty are such a merry party, Jane shall be perfectly content, Elizabeth definitely isn't gold-digging, and something something iconic hot moment with a scuzzy pond.

    Pride and Prejudice (1995) Ep. 3 - Mrs. Collins is Quite Content

    Kylie and Julia are back after the same amount of time that passes within this third episode 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, and thus are not ashamed. It is thematically appropriate and just. In this episode, Charlotte makes some questionable life choices, Elizabeth and Wickham have no chill, Mr. Darcy brings his wingman, Anne de Bourgh is probably dying, and what is wrong with Mary King exactly?

    Pride and Prejudice (1995) Ep. 2 - Mr. Collins & the Olive Branch

    Kylie and Julia return in a timely fashion to chat through the second episode of the 1995 BBC's adaptation of Pride & Prejudice.  In this episode, Mr. Collins writes down future compliments, Mary sings very ill, Mr. Darcy would by no means suspend any pleasure of Lizzie's, and the really, really hot guy must be telling the truth!

    Pride And Prejudice (1995) Ep.1 - Mrs. Bennet's Wonderful News

    Kylie and Julia pivot to their second shared obsession: the 1995 BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The results are hyper efficient. In this episode, Mr. Bennet beats a joke into the ground, Kitty coughs for her own amusement, Sir William Lucas helps Caroline move in society, and for some reason Jane is the hot sister.
