This month, Jane Austen turns 250, and to celebrate, we're stepping out of our comfort zone and trying something new.

Analyzing Pride and Prejudice has been done to death. So rather than walk our listeners through the plot step by step and compare it to just one adaptation, we decided to take a different approach. In this episode we talk about the book alongside three major screen versions—the 1940 film, 1995 BBC miniseries, and the 2005 film. We compare characters, key scenes, and the overall vibe of each to Austen’s iconic classic, exploring how each adaptation reshapes the story for its own time and audience.

Hosted by Crystal with co-hosts Keri and Lindsey.

Books & Adaptations Mentioned:

• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
• Pride and Prejudice (1940 Film)
• Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV Miniseries)
• Pride & Prejudice (2005 Film)
