    This week, we're back with ANOTHER episode about (you guessed it) Jane Eyre! This time, we're reviewing the first 2 episodes of the 2006 BBC miniseries. Tune in to hear us discuss an adaptation that we might actually like?! (But, of course, there's always part 2...)

  • Talk To The Animals

    The newest episode of We Are Not Amused is now live! This week, Tressa and Taylor discuss the world premiere of theatre for young audiences version of Doctor Dolittle presented by The Coterie Theatre! Join us as we go through all the songs, discuss costumes and set design, and somehow bring up good old Jane Eyre again. If you'd like to make this episode even more entertaining, grab an adult beverage and take a drink every time one of us says "this is a kid's show" or any variation of that. Enjoy!!!

  • Well...At Least We Enjoyed Our Tea

    This week on We Are Not Amused, we're reviewing the 1943 film adaptation of Jane Eyre starring Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine. Join us as we talk about the many "choices" made by the filmmakers and how we can't figure out what to rate the film (for once!). As a bonus, you'll get to listen to Taylor recite an entire scene from the film herself.

  • He Needed To Learn

    Today on We Are Not Amused, Tressa and Taylor discuss Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 “Jane Eyre.” Enjoy as we make a few comparisons to our old favorite, “Middlemarch,” figure out how to properly pronounce St. John, talk about the twists and turns, and discuss our overall feelings about this classic. Make your favorite cuppa and join us as we discuss “Jane Eyre” with special appearances from Miso, the upstairs neighbor, the delivery person, and sirens.

  • Cow Covers, Fly Slips, and Silly Points

    Tressa and Taylor dive into uncharted territory this week—SPORTS! Join us as we explore the history of cricket (a quintessential English sport), try to understand "laws" of the game, and incorporate one too many American sports into the discussion just to keep things extra confusing.

  • Dark Chocolate > Milk Chocolate

    Welcome back to another Brits taste test episode! This week, Tressa and Taylor try a variety of foods, from microwave Indian food, to oddly flavored crisps, to instant custard. Join us as we discuss what we liked, what we didn't like, how these foods compared to our last Brits episode, and mention more than once how dark chocolate is greater than milk chocolate!

  • Come On, Dovah!!!

    This week on We Are Not Amused, Tressa and Taylor discuss their (very different) opinions on the 1964 film My Fair Lady. Don your fanciest hat and join us as we review the storyline, music, characters, and (something we both could agree on) the amazing costumes!

    P.S. Apologies for the occasional background noise. We're not sure what it was, but we've decided to blame the AC. Yay, summertime!

  • Statistician, Spiegelhalter, Suspicious

    Today on We Are Not Amused, Tressa and Taylor once again dive into the topic of true crime. Join us as we discuss Joseph Kappen and Harold Shipman, how science played a part in their murders, and, surprisingly, a lot of statistics.

  • The Lennon Wall (aka a very brief history of communism in Czechia)

    Today on We Are Not Amused, we're bringing you a brief history of communism in Czechia...as told via The Lennon Wall. We visited this landmark during our travels in Europe and found that it has quite a history behind it, so we wanted to share it with you! Join us as we dive into the history of the wall itself, communism in Czechia, and try to figure out exactly where the Order of Malta falls into all of this.
