71 - Emma. An Amaryllis Parker Bodice Ripper
Show Notes

A bawdy scandal is afoot in the Kino Lefter Socially Isolated Digital Studio, and it will take a handsome foreign suitor, a busty maid, and a local eccentric to matchmake the whole of Regency-era England until an uncouth remark is made.

We watched Emma. the 2020 Autumn de Wilde adaption of the Jane Austen novel from 1815. Are we experts? No. Did we watch the movie and have thoughts? Yes.

We discuss the fandom, aesthetics, class structure, and gender roles of this Austen adaptation then detour into the beautiful worlds of one Amaryllis Parker and her steamy bodice rippers. Welcome this week's episode you handsome, clever, and rich bastards.
