Strange Bedfellows

Latest Episodes:

Minesfield Park Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

Billie Piper is a more or less silent Fanny Price in the 2007 Mansfield Park created by Britain's Interesting Television, but is it better than the controversial 1999 adaptation? The answer might very well tear this entire operation apart.

Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

Darcy's a congressman, Lizzie's trying to save the town square, and this whole thing is making us just a little bit horse crazy. This week, it's Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta, a terrifying parallel universe where nothing is quite as it seems. Or possibly just an extremely wholesome Lifetime movie. It's difficult to tell.

Bride and Breadjudice Jul 02, 2024

Show notes

Have these boys met a real live Mr. Darcy, in the flesh, without realizing it? Will the Seal of Danzalthar stay closed long enough for the Bakshi girls to find some rich and mostly shirtless husbands? And what even is Tanner's middle name? These are difficult questions to answer even in the sober light of day, and this is ... not that. This week: 2004's Bride & Prejudice.

Keira Knightley and the Siostry Bennet Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

Mrs. Bennet was right. There, we said it. Anyway, we watched the 2005 Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice this week and some of us have to grudgingly admit that it's quite good. Top tier Darcy. And, well, there's a LOT of hand stuff in this one. Wowza.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

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) Jun 04, 2024

Show notes

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 May 28, 2024

Show notes

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" May 14, 2024

Show notes

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 May 07, 2024

Show notes

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 Apr 30, 2024

Show notes

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.
