This week we close out the emotional mini-series Miss Austen. Rude relatives, and difficult love stories abound, just like in any Jane Austen novel.

Re-uploaded due to technical difficulties.

This week we are starting the Masterpiece/BBC mini series about some of Jane Austen’s nearest and dearest. We cover the first two episodes this week.

This week we are watching The Art Life, a documentary about David Lynch, his childhood and his approach to art.

This week we are enjoying the recent film Jane Austen Wrecked My Life. It’s quiet, french, and introspective and also a bit funny.

This week we are making lists and ranking things. Who will come out on top of our list, of worst villains in Jane Austen and David Lynch?

This week we wrap-up musical summer and talk about what’s coming in the fall. We also find out which Rocky Horror Picture Show character we are.

This week we wrap musical summer with a bang as we cover Rocky Horror Picture Show. We came into the summer with Tim Curry so it’s only appropriate that we leave with him in a performance for the ages.

This week we scoured YouTube for every Jane Austen musical adaptation we could find and we found quite a few.

This week we are covering David Lynch’s musical, Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Broken Hearted. It was only performed once and it is as David Lynch a musical as it could possibly be. mannersandmadness.com

This week we are headed to Bollywood, via England, to watch the musical extravaganza, Bride and Prejudice. Colorful and charming this 2004 modern adaptation is a ton of fun.
