Ep 79: P&P 2005 Movie Review with Adrienne
Gentle listeners, this year marks the 20th anniversary of Joe Wright's film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, which released in 2005 and stars Kiera Knightley and Matthew MacFayden. Join Kristin, Maggie and our dear friend Adrienne Garcia-Specht to discuss what we love and hate about this beloved, controversial, and wildly successful adaptation!
As you probably guessed, Kristin still hates it.

In our latest episode, friend of the podcast Priya joins us again, this time to talk about Season 3 of Bridgerton! The third season of this runaway Netflix hit features our favorite couple yet, "Polin," made up of Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Fingerington, I mean, Featherington!
