Eyre Buds

In which George C. Scott challenges Toby Stephens to a "Who is the sweetest and most sympathetic Rochester?" competition. 

Oops... Piper left town, so we put together this special episode to tide you over until we can watch the 1970 movie adaptation. We imagine a new version of Jane Eyre with our dream Jane & Rochester as we fan cast the lead roles. Maybe if we wish hard enough, someone will make these movies. 

In which Adelle does mischief, Rochester is an uncle, and Jane smashes things like the incredible hulk.  

In which Piper and Lillian boldly go into their first Sci-Fi adaptation of Jane Eyre! We also welcome our first guest on the show: Sam, of the World Forge Podcast! Just as the crews of the Val Jean and Voyager come together, so do we to discuss what this classic story looks like when taken to the stars.    

In which Lillian and Piper learn that, "the shadows are just as important as the light." We honor the passing of William Hurt by watching his portrayal of a very gentle Mr. Rochester. 

This romance has everything: labor unions, strikes, dying loved ones and perhaps the softest, most beautiful kiss scene ever filmed. Join us as we discuss the highs and lows of this beloved drama.  

In which Piper and Lillian discuss the pros and cons of an adaptation that makes significant changes to the plot. If you're a fan of classic cinema, this one is for you. 

In which Lillian and Piper watch their first intentionally comedic adaptation. True natures are then revealed in a savage game of Marry, Bang or Kill: Jane Eyre Edition.   

In which Piper and Lillian put on their "Team Bertha" shirts and discuss which is better, a tall vampire or a blind man.

In which Jane and Rochester are given more time to converse and Lillian and Piper dive a bit deeper into the themes of this classic tale.
