Manners & Madness: A Jane Austen & David Lynch Podcast

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.

This week Fanny goes back home to Portsmouth and it is a bit of a culture shock. Will the noise and chaos break her spirits, or can she find the true love she is looking for?

This week the pressure is on and Fanny is feeling the weight of it. Edmund returns and Crawfords prepare to leave, and Fanny can’t seem to help but speak her truth.

This week we are covering four emotionally charged chapters. A week of pent up feelings leads to an explosive cliffhanger.

This week we are covering chapters 25 -28 and everything’s coming up Fanny. William is in town, everyone is thinking of her, and she is coming out. How will our shy little heroine deal with being the center of attention?

Life is a little busy at the moment so we are taking the next few weeks off, but we didn’t want to leave you without episodes to listen to. Please enjoy this re-release of our coverage of Fire Walk With Me. We will be back with the second half of Mansfield Park next week.

This week we are putting down the book to catch-up. We sort some characters, discuss why we all need some Lynch & Austen during these times, sort characters and create our dream adaptation.

A bit of a shorter section this week as we only cover three chapters, 22 - 24. These chapters are all about Fanny, she’s finally the center of attention, even if it’s not where she prefers to be, and in these chapters she is experiencing a lot of other firsts as well.
