Manners & Madness: A Jane Austen & David Lynch Podcast

This week we are covering our second Whit Stillman movie, his first, Metropolitan. This movie is listed as a modern adaptation of Mansfield Park even though it really isn’t. It does however talk about the novel and works with some of its themes, which leads to us having a lot to talk about. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mannersandmadness/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mannersandmadness/support

We get into the spirit by dividing our coverage into two parts so be sure to come back next week for more. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mannersandmadness/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mannersandmadness/support
