Manners & Madness: A Jane Austen & David Lynch Podcast

This week we are starting the Masterpiece/BBC mini series about some of Jane Austen’s nearest and dearest. We cover the first two episodes this week.

This week we are watching The Art Life, a documentary about David Lynch, his childhood and his approach to art.

This week we are enjoying the recent film Jane Austen Wrecked My Life. It’s quiet, french, and introspective and also a bit funny.

This week we are making lists and ranking things. Who will come out on top of our list, of worst villains in Jane Austen and David Lynch?

This week we wrap-up musical summer and talk about what’s coming in the fall. We also find out which Rocky Horror Picture Show character we are.

This week we wrap musical summer with a bang as we cover Rocky Horror Picture Show. We came into the summer with Tim Curry so it’s only appropriate that we leave with him in a performance for the ages.

This week we scoured YouTube for every Jane Austen musical adaptation we could find and we found quite a few.

This week we are covering David Lynch’s musical, Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Broken Hearted. It was only performed once and it is as David Lynch a musical as it could possibly be. mannersandmadness.com

This week we are headed to Bollywood, via England, to watch the musical extravaganza, Bride and Prejudice. Colorful and charming this 2004 modern adaptation is a ton of fun.

We needed to take a break here at the height of summer, cool our brains with some listener feedback and a summer treat quiz.

This week we are covering two David Lynch Albums, Polish Night Music and Blue Bob. Maybe it’s the music or maybe it’s just the summer heat but it’s possible we may lose our minds while listening.

This week we are covering a filmed theatrical musical of Emma. We had a lot to say about it and were inspired to start writing our own version of an Emma musical.

This week we kick off Musical Summer with a Tim Curry classic, the 1982 movie musical, Annie. Leapin’ Lizards!

This week we finish the mysterious Mulholland Drive, and ask ourselves where do the dreams of this movie begin and end.

This is the week we finally get to Mulholland Dr., one of David Lynch’s seminal movies. We are only covering the first half this mysterious movie. Next week is part two so please remember to tune in to that episodas well.

This week we are resetting after Mansfield Park and getting in the summer spirit with the wacky 80’s movie, One Crazy Summer. With young John Cusack, Demi Moore, Bobcat Goldthwait and a plethora of other memorable characters, it is quintessentialy 80’s in a very fun way.

This week we wrap our thoughts on Mansfield Park, talk about what we are planning through the summer, and discover what city in England we should move to.

We’ve reached the end of Mansfield Park and quite a bit happens in these last few chapters. How will all the pieces land and is the final chapter wrap-up as delightful as usual? Find out if this book maintained its spot as Maya’s favorite.

This week is our penultimate episode. Three months pass in Portsmouth and Fanny receives a significant visitor and several very consequential letters.
