    Emma pt. 1
    Jan 9 2026
    It's the highly anticipated (dreaded?) Jane Austen episode, featuring Emma and her adaptations across the years. We discuss the "iconic" Clueless, the 1996 Douglas McGrath apadation, and the 2020 Autumn de Wilde adaptation, with the help of our friend Olivia from the Sisters and the Stars podcast! Listen in to learn if a Clueless remake is in the works, if Shelby's childhood best friend was a book, and what makes Benji Google-like-there's-no-tomorrow. TRIGGER WARNING: ANOTHER MAN BUTT MENTION AND ENSUING BUTT DISCUSSION.

  • Erasure/American Fiction

    Erasure/American Fiction
    Jun 14 2024
    It's the first season finale! We really did it! In this episode we talk about problematic representation, estranged families, finding identity, the power of nuance, and how to make big changes to a story while still making a great adaptation. We dig into Benji's love for audio book readers with "gravelly voices" and Chris finally takes back his worst hot take of the past year. **This episode contains spoilers for Erasure and American Fiction**. Enjoy our season finale as we analyze both of these master works of art. See ya next season!
