Does Jane Austen's Persuasion work better on the page than on the screen? This is just one of the questions Stephanie and returning guest, Brian Hicks, discuss in today's episode. Before exploring Netflix's 2022 film, they will talk about their shared love of the novel, and experience with other Persuasion adaptations. Among Jane Austen fans, this film is not celebrated. Find out why in today's episode.

Beware of spoilers and cats :)

For more with Brian, scroll back to the Emma 2020 episode from earlier this season. (Episode 7).
