Sick Burn, Jane

This content was originally released on 08/25/21 Hey y'all, Maybe you thought we couldn't do an hour-long episode about roughly 39 seconds of a movie. If so... why? We did a whole series of episodes about one single episode of Wishbone.  Anyway, here are our thoughts on the hottest piece of inaccurately-named hand-acting (hacting?), with *invaluable* insights from our special guest, Sarah Marrs of LaineyGossip. Next week: costumes, baybeeeeee! Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 08/18/21 Hey y'all, Enclosed please find our rapturous coverage of the second half of this movie, which, as the youths say, SLAPS.  Next week: ALL HANDFLEX ALL THE TIME! Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 08/04/21 Hey y'all, Enclosed within please find our thoughts on the first half of Joe Wright's 2005 stone-cold classic Pride & Prejudice adaptation. This is a weird episode - we slipped sideways into another universe, maybe? Anyway, hands, they were flexed. Enjoy. Lots o' love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 07/28/21 Hey y'all,   And so begins KEIRAFEST, which is what we're calling our coverage of another formidable PP: Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation, starring Mme. Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. It's a good 'un. Allison has seen it. Janine has seen it. Julie has not. Sounds like a decent excuse to rip off Julie's podcast Maria, Solved! if ever we heard one.    Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine

This content was originally released on 07/21/21 Hey y'all,   THEATRE IS A MAGICAL ART FORM THAT WE LOVE DEEPLY, PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL THEATRES, also wow, we did not care for this.   Headstrong, we're headstrong, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 07/14/21 Hey y'all, Our third and (for now) final episode on Gurinder Chadha's wonderful rom-com (with songs!) lies within. We're joined by a special guest, writer/podcaster Manish Mathur! In the episode, Manish mentions an article he wrote: that's 10 Essential Films from Indian Cinema, and it's well worth your click. If you want to listen to his delightful podcast about romance in film, It Pod To Be You, you can find that here. We should be jealous because his pod name is so much better than ours, but we like listening to it (and talking to Manish) too much to be ornery. Next up: Pride & Prejudice: A New Musical! Lots o' love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 07/08/21 Hey y'all, We! Love! This! Movie!  Lots of love, J+A+A PS - No life without wife.

This content was originally released on 06/22/21 Hey y'all, THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE! THAT IS ABOUT ALL WE HAVE TO SAY BUT WE'RE SAYING IT IN ALL CAPS! Please enjoy the first of three episodes on this total gem. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 05/24/21 Rakes gonna rake. Julie's off for this episode, so Allison and Janine are joined by friend-of-the-show Amelia Buzzell for this chat about the live-streamed performance of Adrian Lukis' one-man show Being Mr. Wickham. Lydia's doing very well, thank you for asking. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 05/13/21 Hey y'all, We're joined this week by the GOAT Caroline Bingley and our new favorite dog choreographer, Jeanne Simpson! Jeanne talks to us about her experience on Wishbone, why she loves Jane Austen, and what it's like to choreograph a dance about learning to use the shitter. It's a very special episode. We hope you enjoy listening to our conversation even half as much as we enjoyed having it. You'll hear more about these things in the episode, but here's Edith Layton on bookshop.org, here's Gotta Dance Productions, and we'll pick a Sunday in June to have a lil' Fitzmob. Next week: Being Mr. Wickham! Lots o' love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 05/06/21 Hey pals, Welcome to part two—part two! of three!—of our miniseries on the Wishbone episode "Furst Impressions." We're joined this week by comedian and actor Danny Jolles (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), whose first comedy special, 6 Parts, came out at the end of March. It's excellent, and because Danny's cool as hell, it's also free to everyone on the ol' YouTube. Janine, Julie, and Allison all loved it, and they promise they're not just saying that because he came on the show. The YouTube playlist we promised is here, though it doesn't yet include that Wishbone sketch, as it turns out that googling "Wishbone playboy" doesn't, ah, work. We'll update it when we find it and are feeling less scarred. We did, however, include some of the jokes and songs from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend we referenced, along with some other things. He's a delight! Watch them all, but especially 6 Parts. Next week: JEANNE SIMPSON, MOTHERFUCKERS! Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 04/30/21 Hey y'all, And now, our first impression of Wishbone's "Furst Impressions." The first in a three-part series. All on Wishbone's "Furst Impressions." This is not a joke, we really are doing three episodes on "Furst Impressions."  With only slightly further ado, enjoy. The additional ado: you'll hear about this in the episode, but our next PP is Being Mr. Wickham, which you can see via Theatre Royal, which is livestreaming the show on April 30 and May 1. More details here. (If you don't watch, you'll still enjoy the episodes, we promise. ) Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 04/07/21 Hey y'all, This is your part two! Hopefully you've JUST listened to DCTP episode 2. If not, we think you'll have fun anyway.  Lots o love, Allison, Julie, and Janine 

This content was originally released on 04/07/21 ENTHUSIASTIC LISTENING SUGGESTION, Y'ALL: We highly recommend that you listen to this episode and the next one, which will post immediately afterward, back-to-back. This one's short-ish, the next one's not. They're of a pair and you'll enjoy both more in sequence. Anyway, here's episode 2 of Death Comes To Pemberley, or the one where Allison tells on herself re: her teeny tiny crushes on Matthew Rhys and Jenna Coleman.  Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine

This content was originally released on 03/31/21 Hey y'all, Another dispatch from the distant past! Please enjoy our Matthew Rhys thirst (Thyrst?). Next week, you're getting TWO episodes—2 and 3 of what we're calling "Dick Tub."   Lots o' love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 03/20/21 Hey y'all, This week we talk to one of our very favorite critics, the great and good Roxana Hadadi (Pajiba, RogerEbert.com, The A.V. Club, etc.). She mounts a spirited defense of goth Darcy! It is a delight! Up next: Death Comes To Pemberley. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

This content was originally released on 03/03/21 Hey y'all, More audio from the recent past that feels like the distant past! We have arrived, at long last, at Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. There's Pride! There's Prejudice! There are, you guessed it, people who eat brains!  Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine

This content was originally released on 02/24/21 Hey y'all,   More audio from the recent past that feels like the distant past! We have arrived, at long last, at Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. There's Pride! There's Prejudice! There are, you guessed it, people who eat brains!    Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine

This content was originally released on 02/20/21 Hey y'all,   We're back, for real this time! We recorded this episode [in January of 2021] with friend-of-the-show and costume expert Emma Fraser, who, by virtue of her whole lived life, is actually qualified to weigh in on the quality of Renee Zellweger's accent. It's a gem. Next up: Pride & Prejudice & Zombies & Matt Smith Jumping Really High When He Dances. Next episode coming at you fast, since we're playing catch-up.   Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine

This content was originally released on 01/13/21 Hey y'all, Here's part three of our Bridget Jones's Diary extravaganza! At the end of this episode, you'll hear us say that our next episode is Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, but SIKE it's actually a BJD costumes episode. After that, though! Zombies! They're coming to get you, Barbara!  Many thanks to the great Caroline Siede, our guest for this episode. We think it's one of our best, and that's no coincidence—it's because Caroline is very, very good at her job.   You can read her excellent column on BJD, the first in her series When Romance Met Comedy, over at The A.V. Club.
