Emma's in her Mean Era, and we're halfway through the ONLY way to enjoy what film critics are calling the "scintillating" "Emma Squadrilogy." That's right, this week it's Part 1 and 2 of Romola Garai's 2009 Emma miniseries, featuring Crash Override and Dumbledore. Hack the planet! Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!

In this "scentillating" adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel, Marianne and Elinor "Smellinor" Dashwood have invented a magical lotion that cures arthritis so their patent lawyer boyfriends can make them rich again, just like Jane would have wanted if she'd thought of it! Anyway, be sure to hug somebody you love and hold them close today, because we only have a limited time on this precious planet. Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!

Dive into the Boneiverse with us as we explore the deep, mind-expanding lore and vast secrets contained in the lost "Wishbone 'Northanger Abbey,'" aka, "Pup Fiction," aka, "Woofanger Waggy." This is certainly the most doggedly wag-nificent adaptation of Jane Austen's penultimate novel, but is it also the best? The answer to that pressing question — and a historically important ranking of television's terriers — within. Special thanks to Baby Bees Carys and Liz for the music! Subscribe to our Pat...

This week, the boys are joined by '90s Tanner and Jack Shepherd Ska Explainer to try and figure out which of the characters from "Clueless" are actually from a completely different movie starring Goop from Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. Turns out, it's a lot of them! As if! Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music! Subscribe to our Patreon at Patreon.com/BSCCPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

The boys are joined by the great Vanessa Zoltan to discuss one of the most important Pride and Prejudice adaptations, "Actual Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. She did this one as a book, which is longer than a movie, but still has some funny bits in it as well as some quite strong writing. Discussion topics include: Hand Stuff; Fred Mary Will, "Nice Guys Finish Last" Edition; and ... "Is Mr. Bennet Bad Actually?"

Welcome to the Sir James Martin Fancast, where we're sharing our favorite James Jams from "Love & Friendship," the 2016 adaptation of Jane Austen's epistolary novel "Lady Susan." Also, we're trying to get into the desperately exclusive east coast chapter of the Jane Austen Appreciation Society, so if you know anyone on the inside, please put in a good word, and don't tell them how many of the 10 Commandments we've been ignoring lately.

Wouldn't you know it –"Sanditon" episodes 3 and 4 are even hotter and hornier than the first two episodes?! Maybe it's because Jane's been drinking too much cider. Or maybe it's because Tanner's been drinking too much beer. Either way, the boys are going to need an ice-cold showerbath after this one. Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!

That's right, it's the very hot and very horny first two episodes of "Sanditon," by Andrew Davies (the Jane Austen of our time) and Jane Austen (the Jane Austen of Jane Austen's time). We're going to be getting to the bottom of who's nice and who's not nice, as well as other scintillating questions like what on Earth is everybody doing with their hands this week?!

Billie Piper is a more or less silent Fanny Price in the 2007 Mansfield Park created by Britain's Interesting Television, but is it better than the controversial 1999 adaptation?

Darcy's a congressman, Lizzie's trying to save the town square, and this whole thing is making us just a little bit horse crazy.

Have these boys met a real live Mr. Darcy, in the flesh, without realizing it? Will the Seal of Danzalthar stay closed long enough for the Bakshi girls to find some rich and mostly shirtless husbands? And what even is Tanner's middle name? These are difficult questions to answer even in the sober light of day, and this is ... not that. This week: 2004's Bride & Prejudice. Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!

Mrs. Bennet was right. There, we said it. Anyway, we watched the 2005 Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice this week and some of us have to grudgingly admit that it's quite good. Top tier Darcy.

We're finally getting around to tackling Jane's only nonfiction novel, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," which covers the zombie apocalypse of 1813, as well as the marriage — officiated by Doctor Who himself — of Elizabeth Bennet to handsome actor Sam Riley, who everyone agrees is the best Mr. Darcy. Also, it's a movie, not a book, so I guess it's a documentary. Happy Pride Month! Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!

Just as the predator claimed King Willie's skull as a trophy in 1990's Predator 2, so Willoughby (aka Rodrigo Fuentes) mercilessly crushes the hopes of Mary Dominguez (aka Marianne Dashwood) in this modern retelling of Sense (aka Prada) and Sensibility (aka nada).

It looks like we're all in one big Jane Austen Book Club together now, which means that we're going to have to start carrying around all our Jane Austen texts in one giant volume, making our bro-ey basketball boyfriends read "Persuasion," and being astonishingly slow to notice when somebody has an obvious crush on us.
