Manners & Madness: A Jane Austen & David Lynch Podcast

This week we tackle our first album, David Lynch’s, Crazy Clown Time. We empathize with Lynch’s fear of singing, speculate on the albums theme, and are generally impressed with an artist stepping out of his comfort zone.

This week we look back at 2020 and look ahead to 2021. We reflect on the last year, set some goals for the new year and get excited for what’s in store for us next.

We don’t have a show this week but we wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year!

The full commentary for Christmas at Pemberly Manor so you can watch along with the movie. Merry Christmas!

This week we have the last of our Hallmark commentaries, and it may be the best of the bunch. It’s got sinkholes, ghostly assistants and a lot of miscommunication. Join us as we wonder, giggle and worry about George. This episode is a condensed version of the commentary check back on Thursday for the full one.

The full lengths commentary to Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe so you can watch along with us.

This week we have another Hallmark commentary, Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe. It’s got a few surprises and a lot of Christmas trees, join us for this condensed commentary as we laugh through this silly movie. Look out for the full commentary on Thursday if you would like to watch along with us!

This week we are crossing over and combining forces with Twin Peaks Unwrapped to talk all about Dual Spires, a Twin Peaks inspired episode of Psych. It’s the ultimate mash-up episode! Join us and Ben and Bryon for this fun romp through nostalgia both for Twin Peaks and Psych.

This week we fight through our fried turkey brains to bring you a smorgasbord of topics. We find out which mischievous Christmas characters we are, recount thanksgivings past, tell a harrowing camping story, and let you know what else is coming up in December.

This week we wrap up our Straight Story talk with some Thanksgiving cheer. We follow Alvin as he completes his journey, learn about the real Alvin Straight and are genuinely touched by this sweet movie.

It’s rated G, it’s on Disney+, and it’s from the man who brought you Blue Velvet, this week we tackle David Lynch’s “most experimental film, ”The Straight Story.” It’s a lovely contemplative tale of an old man traveling by lawnmower to visit his brother and we thoroughly enjoy the 5 mph ride.

This is the full commentary to, Unleashing Mr. Darcy. If you would like to watch along with the movie, just press play when we do. Enjoy!

This week we are trying something different and doing our first commentary. We watched, Unleashing Mr. Darcy, a first for us both. This episode is a condensed version of the commentary in case you just want to listen without watching along. Look out for the full length commentary on Thursday if you would rather watch with the movie.

This week is the end of our Halloween sandwich featuring the second half of Northanger Abbey. We get into the spirit of the 80’s, observe Mrs. Allen’s transformation into a pirate, and find out which two Austen heroines we are.

This week we start our Halloween movie, the gothic 80’s adaptation of Northanger Abbey. We marvel just how 80’s this adaptation is, note all the devouring looks, and laugh along with this fun yet under appreciated adaptation.

This week we celebrate our one year anniversary! We read some lovely letters from our listeners, look back on some of our favorites, and look ahead to what’s in store for us next. Thank you for joining us this year!

This week we cover our last section of David Lynch shorts for a while and it’s a good one. We cover July-September’s Weather Reports, What is David Working on, and Today’s Number, as well as a few more mini shorts. Our finale is Rabbits, Lynch’s absurdist, horror, sitcom.

This week we wrap up our Pride & Prjudice & Zombies discussion. We learn about the casts fight training, heap praise on Lady Catherine, figure out what kind of zombie we are and generally gush over this surprisingly feminist and empowering adaptation/mash-up.

This week we kick off the kick butt Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. A first watch for both of us, we absolutely adored it. We have fun comparing it to the classic, watching the Bennet sisters take charge and testing our knowledge of table manners.

This week we have more David Lynch shorts! We cover some old Weather Reports, July’s What’s David Working on Today, The 3Rs, Alan R., Scissors, I Have a Radio and The Cowboy and the Frenchman.

This week is our Clueless/Dune check-in. We have quick catch-up, imagine Cher and Paul makeovers, find out which planets we are, and let you know what’s next on the horizon.

We are taking the week off but wanted to wish you all a Happy Labor Day!

This week it’s just Maya and Christian as we wrap up David Lynch’s Dune. We learn about all the talented artists who worked on the film, fall in love with Alia, and determine which characters we are in this thrilling conclusion.

This week we start on the sci-fi extravaganza that is Dune. We debate costumes, get grossed out by the Harkonnen, pick out Twin Peaks alum, and even find one tenuous Jane Austen connection. Thanks to Aaron DeCicco for joining us this week!

It’s part 2 of Clueless! As if we would leave you hanging. This week we praise Amy Heckerling, roll with the homies, sort all the characters and reminisce about all of our favorite Clueless moments.
