Podlander Drunkcast

Hey y'all, Happy Holidays to those who celebrate and a Very Merry Almost 2021 to those who don't! Enclosed within is our gift to you, in a matter of speaking: The first of four (five, for Patreon members!) episodes on the rom-com classic, Bridget Jones's Diary . Listen on for our thoughts on patriarchal bullshit, the devious hotness of asshole Hugh Grant, and paddle-pools.  This podcast, and thus...

Hey y'all, Ugggggggggggggggh, this is not a good movie. It's not even really a Pride and Prejudice adaptation. But we had a great time talking about it all the same, especially because we were joined by a dear old friend—the goddess, the legend, the reality television almuna, Elise Mayfield. Elise's audio cut out in the last few minutes, but she had just made a joke so good that we couldn't excise...

Hey y'all, Well, something had to follow our beloved BBCPPAE, so it may as well be the 1940 Pride & Prejudice Laurence Olivier/Greer Garson-starring adaptation, a.k.a. the one with the snack sleeves. Listen on for our thoughts on leftover Gone With the Wind costumes, Aldous Huxley, and sexy sexy archery. Next week is the 2018 Hallmark "adaptation," Christmas At Pemberley Manor. It's not good!  Lot...

Hey y'all, It's the end of the road (for now, at least) for the 1995 BBC/A&E miniseries adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, and we have thoughts. Consider this our farewell to Colin's calves (also for now—those calves are forever).  Next week, it's Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson's turn!  Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

Hey y'all, Please read these notes! You will need them!  As you'll hear, this episode comes with a visual aid. You can find Keenan's PowerPoint here . You can see a picture of a bourdaloue here . As for our amazing guests, you can find them on Twitter here and here .  Two other quick notes: First, you'll notice some weird audio things here. We had some tech issues but the episode was just too good...

Hey y'all, Are the shades of our podcast to be thus polluted? We reach the end of PPBBCAEnemesis, as it is properly known, and get in a few last dunks on poor Lydia. But never fear, this is not the end of our miniseries chat—two more episodes, and then we move on to the Laurence Olivier/Greer Garson film adaptation. Have a SAFE, EXTREMELY SAFE holiday. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine

Hey y'all, Fuckin' Lydia. (Also, please go ahead and ignore all that chat about our 100th episode; as you'll already have gathered, we cannot count.) Thanks to special guest Jennlander Drunklynn for joining us! Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine

Hey y'all, Please read this, if you have a minute.  Our next episode was meant to be our take on the fifth A&E/BBC PP as adapted by Emma Thompson's nemesis. As you'll hear, things had to shift a bit. Don't worry! That's coming this week! But for now, here's our 100th episode. We recorded this Friday night the week of the election, and as you may recall, that week was a weird one, and we were all a...

Hey y'all, Friend of the show Keenan joins us to talk about the fourth episode of the BBC/A&E adaptation of Pride and Prejudice . Without further adieu, please enjoy some wet-ass Darcy.  Take care of yourselves, dear ones. Lots of love, Julie, Allison, and Janine (and Keenan)

Hey y'all, Janine met Mr. Collins and we could not be more delighted. He's also got some shopping to do.  A few quick programming notes for our dear patrons: First, we're trying something new and doing a little Drunkcast lunch break every Friday at 1pm CST. Come hang out and say a quick hello! Second, we're going to keep doing our live watchalongs, so if you want to watch P&P episode 3 with us (a....

Hey y'all, Get ready to hear Allison tell stories you just heard a week ago because her memory is garbage and these episodes were recorded months apart! We get into the first episode of A&E/BBC's Pride and Prejudice miniseries and—spoiler alert—spend a lot of time talking about how hot Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle are.    Programming note: We're recording our episodes on Sundays and doing a live...

Hey y'all, This episode was recorded near the end of July (and then life happened, you know how it is) so it is most definitely an artifact of the way, way back times of before October.  And not to overhype it, but Julie and I (this is Allison, by the way) both think this episode includes one of the best jokes we've ever made on the show, and spoiler, neither of us made said joke. Anyway, we hope...

Hey y'all,   This week, Julie took a nap and Janine did some space stuff while Allison and special guest Jenna Pulkowski talked book shit for Outlander's fifth season. Should go without saying, but do not listen to this episode if you have not read the books and want to remain unspoiled!   Please join us for our season five dice-rollin' awards-givin' wrap-up spectacular, live on Sunday 5/24 at 1 p...

Hey y'all,   Woof, here we go. Early in the episode, you'll hear Allison talk about a safe jump-ahead point for anyone who might want to avoid our discussion of the sexual violence in "Never My Love." You can listen safely until the five-minute mark and then skip ahead if you want to avoid all prolonged discussion of the first half of the episode. If you jump to 33:50, you'll hit the section where...

Hey y'all, This week friend of the show Ruth "I wrote a fuckin' amazing limerick about Murtagh in five minutes" McCormack joins Allison and Janine to talk about the Hot Pess episode to end all Hot Pess episodes (Hot Pessisodes?), Diana Gabaldon's "Journeycake." Come for the bad time traveling, stay for the SPERRRRRMS. Patreon friends — Look for another inthebooooooks on Crowdcast later this week....

Hey y'all,   This is a bit of a weird one—some audio issues, some cat issues, some "Allison can't stop harping about book stuff" issues—but we think you'll like it as much as some folks like second breakfast.  Also, Patreon backers can look for an intheboooooooks Crowdcast - exact time TBD but it'll be Saturday.   Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

Hey y'all,   We feel compelled to warn you that Julie had a weird fan thing going on with her computer (overheating, or maybe too much friction) so the audio got a little out of hand. But that doesn't matter, because we wrapped our fingers around the opportunities throbbing through this episode and gently squeezed. Enjoy.   Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

Hey y'all, We had some technical difficulties and thus ran short on time but still managed to have a lot to say about the return of John Bell and his sick new threads, Richard Rankin's astounding performance, and whether or not it's a good idea to assume your audience is stupid. (Spoiler: it's not!) Maybe you liked it, maybe you didn't, but there's no denying that "Famous Last Words" is ambitious...

Hey y'all, Back in February, when the world was, ah, super different, we headed to our favorite local bar, The Oasis, for a ridiculous live show. (For context, it was the week after the premiere.) We won't spoil it for you but suffice it to say it was quite an adventure and we had a blast. Thanks to everyone who came out, and especially thanks to Michelle and the lovely people of The Oasis, who ar...

Hey y'all, DO NOT READ THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE WATCHED SEASON FIVE, EPISODE SEVEN. This lengthy episode of the pod speaks for itself. We had a lot to say about the show's best outing in years—and in fact, we're going to say more! On Friday night, we'll be doing a virtual happy hour (SERIOUSLY STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED) ... but really it's a Digital Wake to make up for the real-life wake we p...

Hey y'all, Construction on the apartment directly above Allison's forced her to bail on this episode (though she'll do an #intheboooooooks on CrowdCast), so Julie and Janine were joined by friend of the show Amelia Buzzell! They talked about plagiarism, fuckbois, and hot ghosts. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine (and Amelia!)

Hey y'all, Hello from the very strange present moment. We love you! Here's an episode we recorded in three separate apartments all within five blocks of each other. It worked out okay.  We'd say more but we figure with all the voiceover in this episode you're kind of over hearing/reading lengthy explanations about stuff you already know. In summation: KITTY! Anyway, here's "Wonderwall." Be safe, a...

Greetings ferns,  This week Julie is joined by a very special guest host, our dear pal and friend of the show Jenna Pulkowski! Both Allison and Janine were out this week, but the band will be back together soon. For now, Julie and Jenna proudly present... The Chronicles of FLMF. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

Hey y'all, Well, that one was a doozy, no? This was the first episode in quite awhile where Janine didn't see any of it at all, and we were very prepared for some earnest "oh, shit" action. Needless to say, it happened. Come for the Beardsley weirdness (Beardsley weirdsleys?) and stay for an, ah, emphatic response to that John Quincy Myers appearance. Lots of love, Allison, Julie, and Janine

Hey y'all, This week we were joined by our favorite twins, Keenan and Scottie, for a rousing discussion of a good episode with a bad title. You'll hear us reference the live show a few times (it was so fun, thanks to those who came!) which we'll post down the line, but for now content yourselves with this enthusiastic cake-fueled chat (and one little bonus minisode for Patreon subscribers, the fir...
