Hey, y'all - We watched the Outlander Season 6 teaser that came out on December 25, 2021 AND the new opening credits. We have reactions and thoughts! Listen in. Lots of love - Allison, Julie, and Janine
Hey, y'all - On Friday December 10 2021, we were at it again, making up weird and stupid Outlander-themed fanfic for a live audience at C2E2. As always, there are moments of hilarity, moments of confusion, and moments of pure mess. Please enjoy! Lots of love - Julie, Allison, and Janine
Hi, Y'all - We watched "A Princess for Christmas." In this episode, we set clear debate rules, and mostly follow them. Tell us what you think - is this a great movie, or the GREATEST movie? Discuss. Lots of love - Julie, Allison, and Janine
Hi, y'all - In October 2021, we got invited to New York Comic Con to do a panel. We provided some raucous live Outlander fanfic. At turns hilarious and awkward, we feel it is very on brand. Enjoy! Lots of love - Allison, Julie, Janine, and a muffled Amelia
Hi, y'all - Amelia takes the reins as we chat about the second half of Gwyneth Paltrow's 1996 film adaptation of "Emma." Some things that come up: - Why the podcast has ruined Amelia's life - Extended discussion of our new favorite butthole - A great new nickname for a main character that we really think has legs Please enjoy! Lots of love, Julie, Alison, Janine and Amelia
Hey, y'all - Here begins our content on one of the 1996 adaptations of "Emma." We're of course starting with the one starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In this episode, we discuss the first half of the film, right up until Jane Fairfax shows Emma what's up dueling pianos-style. Did you know that friend of the show Amelia Buzzell has seen this move well over 1,000 times? She's got some love for and THOUGHTS about it, so listen up. Lots of love - Julie, Allison, Janine and Amelia
Hi, y'all - If you know anything about us, it's that we CANNOT RESIST a bracket. So here we are, building a bracket and fighting it all the way through to a winner for The Platinum Pooper of 'Imbibe and Prejudice: Volume One.' You really get to hear how the sausage is made, folks. Please enjoy. Lots of love - Julie, Allison, and Janine
Hi, y'all - In the (not so) grand tradition of Julie's other podcast Maria, Solved! , we put Janine in the hot seat and treat him as an expert in Jane Austen's Emma. Come for the Regency comedy of manners, stay for the treatise on slaughterhouse conditions. Lots of love - Julie, Allison, and Janine
Hi, y'all - We're almost done with our first volume (there will always be more PP) of Pride and Prejudice coverage. So it's time to pull out Julie's chainmail ball sack/dice bag of destiny and let fate decide the best of the best. We're saving Darcy and Lizzie for later, but you'll hear debates about other characters, costumes, adaptation, etc. Please enjoy and remember to hit us up with your suggestions for next time when we crown The Platinum Pooper, AKA the Golden-est of Buttholes. Lots of lo...
Hey, y'all - We know y'all know an Outlander Season 6 teaser came out. And y'all know that WE know that we had to watch it and dissect it frame by frame. Enjoy! Lots of love - Julie, Allison, and Janine
We've reached the end of our coverage of the 2005 Joe Wright/Keira Knightley PP. Spoiler - we love it! Allison is out this week, but friend of the show Amelia Buzzell joins us as we give this PP the Scales treatment. Pro tip: this episode contains a story told by Amelia that is so good, you need to be sitting down when she starts. Lots of love - Julie, Allison, and Janine
Y'all - A special surprise episode! FOR EVERYONE!! Our man Tobias won a major award. We are all so proud of him, since those of us in the Outlander-sphere have known for a long time how good he is at acting. We discuss his career, postulate as to where he will display his new statuette, and just shoot all the shit about our favorite jactor of all time. One more reminder: our New York Comic-Con panel is THIS SATURDAY, October 9! If you're vaxxed and able to snag a ticket, join us at 8:15pm ET at ...
Hi, y'all - Caitriona Balfe totally dropped a baby like Beyonce drops an album - stealthily, and with great power. So we go back to our Outlander roots and debate which Beyonce songs go with which characters and scenes from your favorite sexy time travel show. Friend of the show Amelia Buzzell joins us in our quest. Love - Allison, Julie, and Janine
Hey y'all, It's the second-to-last installment of Keirafest (though there will be a bit of a wait for the next one) and we are downright giddy to be joined by critic LaToya Ferguson. LaToya joins us for a spirited conversation about the period drama movie dominance of one Keira Knightley. We also talk about her Love, Actually hat. Also: In New York? Come join us for a panel at NYCC ! Lots of love, Allison, Julie and Janine...
Hey y'all, Let's talk about bonnets, baby! We're just tickled to say that Emma Fraser has returned to the show for our discussion of the costumes in Joe Wright's PP (which, let's be honest, is really mostly a discussion of the green dress in Atonement .) Also, we're so excited to say we're doing a panel at New York Comic Con ! Our panel is Saturday night. If you're vaccinated, we'd love to see you. We'll also be paneling at Wizard World Chicago, but more on that later. Lots of love, Allison, Jul...
Hey y'all, Maybe you thought we couldn't do an hour-long episode about roughly 39 seconds of a movie. If so... why? We did a whole series of episodes about one single episode of Wishbone. Anyway, here are our thoughts on the hottest piece of inaccurately-named hand-acting (hacting?), with *invaluable* insights from our special guest, Sarah Marrs of LaineyGossip . Next week: costumes, baybeeeeee! Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine...
Hey y'all, Enclosed please find our rapturous coverage of the second half of this movie, which, as the youths say, SLAPS. Next week: ALL HANDFLEX ALL THE TIME! Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Hey y'all, Enclosed within please find our thoughts on the first half of Joe Wright's 2005 stone-cold classic Pride & Prejudice adaptation. This is a weird episode - we slipped sideways into another universe, maybe? Anyway, hands, they were flexed. Enjoy. Lots o' love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Hey y'all, And so begins KEIRAFEST, which is what we're calling our coverage of another formidable PP: Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation, starring Mme. Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. It's a good 'un. Allison has seen it. Janine has seen it. Julie has not. Sounds like a decent excuse to rip off Julie's podcast Maria, Solved! if ever we heard one. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine
Hey y'all, THEATRE IS A MAGICAL ART FORM THAT WE LOVE DEEPLY, PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL THEATRES, also wow, we did not care for this. Headstrong, we're headstrong, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Hey y'all, Our third and (for now) final episode on Gurinder Chadha's wonderful rom-com (with songs!) lies within. We're joined by a special guest, writer/podcaster Manish Mathur! In the episode, Manish mentions an article he wrote: that's 10 Essential Films from Indian Cinema , and it's well worth your click. If you want to listen to his delightful podcast about romance in film, It Pod To Be You , you can find that here . We should be jealous because his pod name is so much better than ours, bu...
Hey y'all, We! Love! This! Movie! Lots of love, J+A+A PS - No life without wife.
Hey y'all, THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE! THAT IS ABOUT ALL WE HAVE TO SAY BUT WE'RE SAYING IT IN ALL CAPS! Please enjoy the first of three episodes on this total gem. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Hey y'all, Here's our third and final b-road trip episode, in which we discuss the highs, lows, and WHAT THE FUCKs of Men In Kilts and The Wine Show . Mouse Rat rules. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Hey y'all, Rakes gonna rake. Julie's off for this episode, so Allison and Janine are joined by friend-of-the-show Amelia Buzzell for this chat about the live-streamed performance of Adrian Lukis' one-man show Being Mr. Wickham . Lydia's doing very well, thank you for asking. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine
Hey y'all, We're joined this week by the GOAT Caroline Bingley and our new favorite dog choreographer, Jeanne Simpson! Jeanne talks to us about her experience on Wishbone, why she loves Jane Austen, and what it's like to choreograph a dance about learning to use the shitter. It's a very special episode. We hope you enjoy listening to our conversation even half as much as we enjoyed having it. You'll hear more about these things in the episode, but here's Edith Layton on bookshop.org , here's Got...
Hey pals, Welcome to part two—part two! of three!—of our miniseries on the Wishbone episode "Furst Impressions." We're joined this week by comedian and actor Danny Jolles (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), whose first comedy special, 6 Parts, came out at the end of March. It's excellent, and because Danny's cool as hell, it's also free to everyone on the ol' YouTube . Janine, Julie, and Allison all loved it, and they promise they're not just saying that because he came on the show. The YouTube playlist we p...
Hey y'all, And now, our first impression of Wishbone's "Furst Impressions." The first in a three-part series. All on Wishbone's "Furst Impressions." This is not a joke, we really are doing three episodes on "Furst Impressions." With only slightly further ado, enjoy. The additional ado: you'll hear about this in the episode, but our next PP is Being Mr. Wickham , which you can see via Theatre Royal, which is livestreaming the show on April 30 and May 1. More details here . (If you don't watch, yo...
Hey y'all, Herein continues our coverage of the bro-ad trip shows within our purview, Men In Kilts and The Wine Show. As a reminder, last week, we started with MIK, episode one . This week brings our thoughts on The Wine Show's first episode. Next we jump back onto the Austen beat (what's next? WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW) and in the interim we'll binge both these suckers, and then we'll do an episode on both complete first seasons. And we'd love to hear your thoughts! If you've watched either (or...
Hey y'all, Herein begins our coverage of the bro-ad trip shows within our purview, Men In Kilts and The Wine Show. Normally this would just be some jokes, but instead, here's a little rundown of how this will work. We're starting with MIK, episode one. Next week you'll hear our thoughts on The Wine Show's first episode as well. Then we drift back into Austenland for a spell to give us time to binge both shows in their entirety, and then we'll do an episode on both. And we'd love to hear your tho...
