Enthused!

In this episode of Enthused! we discuss Bridgerton Episode 4. Daphne is absolutely not lusting after Simon, and Simon is absolutely not rolling up his shirtsleeves just to tempt her. Anthony sees Siena rocking a bejeweled leotard, and Benedict goes to la vie boheme. (Nope, not kidding about either thing.) And then! There are kisses! And duels! And dramatic horse-riding with cloaks flapping about! This episode is your one-stop shop for all of your Regency Romance needs.

In this episode of Enthused, we thank our goddamn lucky stars for the gift of Bridgerton in these dark times. Lady Featherington is the complex, hilarious villain we have been waiting for, spoons become objects of fascination and desire, and Daphne reaches completion….with her composition! Definitely nothing else! Come now!

Bonus! Recipe for Sparkling Impeachmint: Sedition Edition

1/2 oz lime juice
1 oz peach tea nectar (mint simple syrup with peach puree)
1 oz peach moonshine (substitute peach vodka)

Shake over ice. Double-strain into a large stemmed glass, top with champagne. Garnish with a single desiccated tangerine,  faux-gilded, to float  despondently.

Optional: fill glass with cold smoke from smoking gun.

In this episode of Enthused, we learn of Duke Hotness’s tragic childhood whilst Daphne learns the pleasure of an illicit spine stroking. Penelope and Eloise, on the other hand, have apparently learned Nothing At All about where babies come from, to which we say, Point of Order! Meanwhile, Lord Berbrooke is like a human whackamole and just. won’t. die. . . Or will he? Tune in to find out. In the meantime, Brimsley! Fresh snuff!

In this pilot episode of Enthused! we journey into the candy coated vision of Shonda Rhimes' new Regency romance, Bridgerton. Join us as we meet an imperious queen, a dashing duke, and a waifish ingenue with the most provocative bangs the world has ever seen. Help us ponder the age-old questions: Why is it hard to be hot in Regency? Are corsets always torture devices or are you just wearing it wrong? How much CG wisteria is too much CG wisteria? To hear our answers to these questions and more, listen in!
