A '90s Show Pilot: "Hackers"
Hey everyone! Tanner's back, and he brought a friend! This is a pilot for a new podcast we're working on about the '90s (for you young people, that was a decade that we used to live in). If you like it, let us know, and we'll try to do more! This one's about "Hackers." Learn more about your ad...

Why THEY Don't Want Us to Record the 'Hackers' Episode
We're taking a break for the Holidays! At least, that's what THEY want you to think. But never fear — there's going to be plenty of sweet, sweet content on our Patreon while you wait, including new weekly episodes of our TGIF show with Jack and special guest host Josh Fjelstad, as well as some…

Mean Emma
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…

Stench & Stinkability
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…

Woofanger Waggy
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...
-
Clueless (finally!)
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...
-
Actual Pride and Prejudice (feat. Vanessa Zoltan)
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....
-
The Sir James Martin Fancast
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…

Showerbath-ton
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...
-
Handie-ton
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…

Minesfield Park
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? The answer might very well tear this entire operation apart. Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!...
-
Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta
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. This week, it's Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta, a terrifying parallel universe where nothing is quite as it seems. Or possibly just an extremely wholesome Lifetime movie....
-
Bride and Breadjudice
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...
-
Keira Knightley and the Siostry Bennet
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. And, well, there's a LOT of hand stuff in this one. Wowza. Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the…
more -
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
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....
-
Persuasion (fish edition)
It's our wettest episode yet, with Anne Elliot from the Fishman movie making a big splash in Bath, while Captain Benwick stands on a big scary wall to let the waves wash over him. Positively soaking! P.S., we loved this one (it's the 2007 ITV "Persuasion"). Music credits: "Big Action Sports…
more -
Austenland
Take a trip with us into the crazy Westworld-style "Kissing Brothel" known as "Austenland," where there's no robots but there's plenty of kissing, a very tall gardener, an actual Mr. Darcy, and (somewhat unfortunately) a pair of Hole Detectives. You heard us. Hole Detectives. (Sorry I said it...
-
The "Clueless" of "Sense and Sensibility"
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). All stories are the same, when…
more -
Jane Austen Book Club
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…
more -
North-ANGER Abbey
Don't blink, because it's the 2007 Andrew Davies adaptation of Northanger Abbey, and Jyn Erso is about to make her biggest mistake since she tried to steal the plans to the Death Star: Standing up Mr. Tilney to take a horsey ride to Blaise Castle. And it only gets cringier from there!…
more -
Deadpool Fanny Price
Crash Override and Deadpool Fanny Price go head to head in a white-knuckle thrill ride that one out of two hosts of this podcast has described as "an abomination." Get your Sexy Mansfield Park name, meet the Swinging Siblings of Northamptonshire, and prepare yourself for the most shocking...

Death March Through Middlemarch - Leg Five: The March Home
The Death March is over, but we still have to do our Plot Line Power Rankings, play a bracing game of Ned, Kitty, El, and slide, gracefully, into Dodo's DMs. Our scintillating Middlemarch content block comes to a scintillating end with the 1994 BBC miniseries! Music credits: “Typewriter Blues,”…

We're Moving to Tuesdays!
This is a very short announcement to say that we are moving our release date to Tuesdays. I'm realizing this announcement is timed with April Fools Day, so I'll just pause to say that this is not a trick. We'll be back with the final installment of Death March Through Middlemarch, "Death March...

Death March Through Middlemarch - Leg Four
Our brutal march comes to an end in the forsaken lands where George's murderous schemes make targets of us all. But before we few survivors can rest our broken bodies on the unforgiving ground, we must spin the dread roulette of "Fred, Mary, Will" one last time. And also make a very steamy…

SB 106 - "The Tomorrow War"
Remember when we did Swiftmas, and the time when Jack was at Grandma’s so we did one about Puffin Rock too?

SB 097 - “Working Girl”
We really stepped in it this week, folks. We went into this scenario half-cocked, landed right in the soft part of a hunk nest, and the cap popped CLEAN OFF. You should have seen it. Never been so many hunks in one place at one time. Like one of those popping videos on TikTok. But, we’ll just do...
