Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday’s to everyone! This week we are talking Scrooged, looking back on 2025, and figuring out which Christmas icon we are.

This week we follow up Home Alone with Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. We question if adults in this universe are all dumb and ask which Home Alone is best?

This week we are starting our countdown to Christmas with a classic, Home Alone. Does it still hold up? Is it secretly a horror movie? Is it the best Christmas movie? Come laugh along with us as we discuss it.

This week we are talking Turkey and holidays and what’s left on our master list. We would love to hear from you about your traditions and anything we are missing from our future plans.

This week we finish our commentary of Over the Garden Wall with episode 5 - 10. It was a delight!

This week we are doing a commentary on the exceptionally cute animated show Over the Garden Wall. We get through the first five episodes in this episode and will finish up next week with the second half. Fire up your Hulu or what have you and watch along with us!

Due to life and many technical kerfuffles, this week are re-releasing our episode on the 1940’s Pride and Prejudice.

This week we talk all things Halloween, we catch up on the things we’ve covered so far this fall, and take a fun quiz to see which creature of the night we are.

This week we are celebrating Halloween and encoring musical summer with the 1986 classic Little Shop of Horrors. Is it a perfect musical? Should we add all movies with muppets to our list? Who sang it better Audrey or Ariel? All questions we ponder as we sing our way through this week’s episode.

This week we are headed back to 1960 with a cult classic B movie, The Little Shop of Horrors. Is it silly or is it scary and how will it compare with the musical?

This week we close out the emotional mini-series Miss Austen. Rude relatives, and difficult love stories abound, just like in any Jane Austen novel. Re-uploaded due to technical difficulties.

This week we are starting the Masterpiece/BBC mini series about some of Jane Austen’s nearest and dearest. We cover the first two episodes this week.

This week we are watching The Art Life, a documentary about David Lynch, his childhood and his approach to art.

This week we are enjoying the recent film Jane Austen Wrecked My Life. It’s quiet, french, and introspective and also a bit funny.

This week we are making lists and ranking things. Who will come out on top of our list, of worst villains in Jane Austen and David Lynch?

This week we wrap-up musical summer and talk about what’s coming in the fall. We also find out which Rocky Horror Picture Show character we are.

This week we wrap musical summer with a bang as we cover Rocky Horror Picture Show. We came into the summer with Tim Curry so it’s only appropriate that we leave with him in a performance for the ages.

This week we scoured YouTube for every Jane Austen musical adaptation we could find and we found quite a few.

This week we are covering David Lynch’s musical, Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Broken Hearted. It was only performed once and it is as David Lynch a musical as it could possibly be. mannersandmadness.com

This week we are headed to Bollywood, via England, to watch the musical extravaganza, Bride and Prejudice. Colorful and charming this 2004 modern adaptation is a ton of fun.

We needed to take a break here at the height of summer, cool our brains with some listener feedback and a summer treat quiz.

This week we are covering two David Lynch Albums, Polish Night Music and Blue Bob. Maybe it’s the music or maybe it’s just the summer heat but it’s possible we may lose our minds while listening.

This week we are covering a filmed theatrical musical of Emma. We had a lot to say about it and were inspired to start writing our own version of an Emma musical.
