After discussing every single Baby-Sitters Club novel by Ann M. Martin, Jack Shepherd and Tanner Greenring are all grown up and immersing themselves in the wonderful world of romance!

    Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

    Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

    We're finally getting around to tackling Jane's only nonfiction novel, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," which covers the zombie apocalypse of 1813, as well as the marriage — officiated by Doctor Who himself — of Elizabeth Bennet to handsome actor Sam Riley, who everyone agrees is the best Mr. Darcy. Also, it's a movie, not a book, so I guess it's a documentary. Happy Pride Month!

    Persuasion (fish edition)

    Persuasion (fish edition)

    It's our wettest episode yet, with Anne Elliot from the Fishman movie making a big splash in Bath, while Captain Benwick stands on a big scary wall to let the waves wash over him. Positively soaking! P.S., we loved this one (it's the 2007 ITV "Persuasion").

    Austenland

    Austenland

    Take a trip with us into the crazy Westworld-style "Kissing Brothel" known as "Austenland," where there's no robots but there's plenty of kissing, a very tall gardener, an actual Mr. Darcy, and (somewhat unfortunately) a pair of Hole Detectives. You heard us. Hole Detectives. (Sorry I said it again!)

    The "Clueless" of "Sense and Sensibility"

    The "Clueless" of "Sense and Sensibility"

    Just as the predator claimed King Willie's skull as a trophy in 1990's Predator 2, so Willoughby (aka Rodrigo Fuentes) mercilessly crushes the hopes of Mary Dominguez (aka Marianne Dashwood) in this modern retelling of Sense (aka Prada) and Sensibility (aka nada). All stories are the same, when you think about it.

    Jane Austen Book Club

    Jane Austen Book Club

    It looks like we're all in one big Jane Austen Book Club together now, which means that we're going to have to start carrying around all our Jane Austen texts in one giant volume, making our bro-ey basketball boyfriends read "Persuasion," and being astonishingly slow to notice when somebody has an obvious crush on us. Honestly, sounds like a blast. This week we watched "The Jane Austen Book Club"!

    North-ANGER Abbey

    North-ANGER Abbey

    Don't blink, because it's the 2007 Andrew Davies adaptation of Northanger Abbey, and Jyn Erso is about to make her biggest mistake since she tried to steal the plans to the Death Star: Standing up Mr. Tilney to take a horsey ride to Blaise Castle. And it only gets cringier from there! Fortunately, we have a pair of Fashion Geniuses and a time-traveling barrister to help us get through it.

Great podcast but their hair is wrong.

I’m really disappointed that Jack is blond and Tanner is brunet. In my mind’s eye I saw Tanner as an All-American blond football player type. Really more golden retriever than anything but ultimately fair-haired. Jack was more of a hipster, listened to the Strokes, wrote zines. Definitely brunet. Imagine my utter dismay to find out that their hair colors are wrong. Please fix this. I am tempted to withhold a star until my demands are met but I don’t want to hurt Jack’s feelings even though, as mentioned, his hair is wrong. Great podcast. I’d probably see them live if they fixed their hair.

So good

Loving my re-listen!

“PS - we loved this one”

I’ve followed this podcast from the Baby Sitters Club Club, to babysitting-adjacent works, to romance reviews, and now to the Summer of Sandra/Sandra (pronounced like France)/Sondra/Sam. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve been immersed in thirst. For new listeners, start at the beginning so you can appreciate the evolution and understand all of the references. ILY and IKY…goo’bye!
