Manners & Madness: A Jane Austen & David Lynch Podcast

This week we start on The Secret History of Twin Peaks, by Mark Frost and covering pages 1-123. We have a lot of fun parsing historical fact from fiction and learning how the mythology of Twin Peaks fits into it all.

This week we played the video game Regency Love from Tea for Three studios. It is an interactive novel/dating sim for iOS that has been round since 2013. We had a lot of fun playing it and speculating on all the storylines we missed.

This week we do our final wrap up on the summer of obscurity. We give our thoughts on this summer and all that we covered. Then we take a quiz to find out what kind of obscure thing we are.

This week we have our last movie in the summer of obscurity, although it may not be all that obscure. It’s got Tim Curry doing an un expected accent, Laura Linney shooting missiles from the sky, and one very cute talking gorilla.

We are nearing the end of summer of obscurity and we couldn’t possibly wrap it up without reviewing David Lynch’s Dumbland. The name says it all, but can we find something intelligent to say about it. We will let you be the judge of that.

This week we are re-releasing this special request episode in preparation for next week. This is a collection of comic strips made by David Lynch over 9+ years. We do our best to thoroughly cover this small collection.

This week we are reaching new heights of obscurity with the 1971 BBC adaptation of Sense and Sensibitily, infamously Maya’s least favorite adaptation. Can we find things to like about it this watch?
