2.4 "Ugh, As If!" Jane Austen's Emma and Clueless (pt. 1)


Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode! This week I’m talking about one of my favourite novels and one of my favourite movies: Emma by Jane Austen, and Clueless (1995). I talk about why Emma/Cher is so likable, how high society is just like high school, and why Cher and Josh are more compatible than Emma and Mr Knightley. This episode was really hard to cut down, so it’s actually been split into two parts. Tomorrow there will be a bonus episode to finish the discussion, so stay tuned!

For a full transcription of the episode, plus extra links and resources, please visit my website: Angourie’s Library.
