This week we are starting yet another Emma adaptation. This is a BBC adaptation from 1972. Just because something is older doesn’t make it worse and we have a lot to praise from the first three episodes.

This week we are truly checking-in and reviewing everything we’ve covered recently as well as talking about all our latest interests and obsessions. We end the episode with a rousing game of would you rather.

This week we have our final movie in this section, Lucky. It’s another acting role from David Lynch but it’s really Harry Dean Stanton who carries the movie is a lovely sendoff to a great actor.

This week we are watching Miss Austen Regrets, another biopic, this time covering the end of Jane Austen’s life.

This week we try to learn more about Jane Austen herself and watch the first of two biopics we have on the docket, Becoming Jane. Focusing on her early life and heavily romance oriented, we found the movie lacking overall.

This week we were running behind and so decided to forgo our scheduled recording for a quick check-in. We catch-up on what we have been up to and take a breather before we come back next week with a regular episode.

This week we are watching a movie that features David Lynch as an actor. The Fablemans is by Steven Spielberg and is about his life. David Lynch makes a cameo at the end as legendary director John Ford and is delightfully iconic.

This week we are covering our second Whit Stillman movie, his first, Metropolitan. This movie is listed as a modern adaptation of Mansfield Park even though it really isn’t. It does however talk about the novel and works with some of its themes, which leads to us having a lot to talk about.

This week we finally follow through on our threats and add Tim Curry to the Manners & Madness line-up. We begin with one of his funniest the farcical cult classic Clue.

This week we finish our coverage of Lost Highway. We spend a good amount of the episode speculating on what it all means, how much is real and where it fits in with the recurring themes of David Lynch’s work.
