Welcome to the official Facebook of the Two Baroque Girls podcast! Two Baroque Girls features the minds of two women both working in the Chicago comedy community, Samantha Myers and Molly Smith. They love historical dramas and they love to rip them apart. Each week they pick a movie and are joined by a special comedy guest for some fun, witty critiquing! Let's listen, shall we?
On this episode we discuss the 2005 classic adaptation of Pride & Prejudice! There’s lots of odd staring, awkward cousin proposals, long walks in open spaces and, of course, the ever so important discussion of ribbons. With special guest Rebecca Shrom!!

3: The Knight Before Christmas
Hot Knights in a Netflix movie? It must be Christmas! Yes, yes it’s corny and, horribly inaccurate but Vanessa Hudgens is making a comeback so we’re doing it anyway! Join us as we jump between 1334 and 2019 Holiday festivities for The Knight Before Christmas! With very special guest, Kristin Aviles

2: Marie Antoinette
Our next episode is so baroque it's rococo!
The 2006 "biopic," Marie Antoinette! Directed by Sofia Coppola and staring the very French (see eye roll here) Kirsten Dunst. Join us as we explore the very unrealistic accents, the very weird sex life of royalty and the very real question, do peasants eat cake?
But what a pretty dress, am I right?!

1: Elizabeth
Two Baroque Girls' first EVER podcast episode delves into the 1998 classic, Elizabeth! Starring Cate Blanchett and a very young looking Geoffrey Rush). Elizabeth I was labeled "The Virgin Queen" because she never married. She may have been a "virgin" but she definitely did the medieval dirty with a certain suitor. Enter Sir Robert Dudley on a horse!
