  Shadow of Anubis by Adele Dixon

  Jul 12, 202657 minS2

  What if Pride & Prejudice took place in the wave of Egyptomania that followed Napoleon's surrender in Egypt?

What if Lizzy inherited her father's love of Ancient Egypt and was a very talented translator of hieroglyphics? Stefanie and Melinda discuss this adaptation being set at the birth of Egyptology (which happens to perfectly align to when Austen was penning her novels), some downright horrifying facts about ancient mummies, and what it feels like to finally get a Mr Bennet who isn't vying for the role of "Worst Father in the Austenverse", in Shadow of Anubis by Adele Dixon .

  Austenland by Jerusha Hess

  Jun 14, 20261h 2mS2

  What if Pride & Prejudice was about a hopelessly romantic American named Jane who dropped her life savings on a trip to England to take part in a personalised fantasy romance at a Regency themed live-in experience? What if the woman who owns the venue it is inexplicably horrible to her the whole time? What if she accidentally falls in love with her own Mr Darcy for real? Stefanie and Melinda discuss the absolutely stacked cast of Jane Austen adaptation alumni who feature in the film, the obsession in early aughts films with depicting single women in their 30s as desperate losers, and the intense flashbacks this movie gave them to particular (and particularly unhinged) adaptation that featured in Season 1, in Austenland directed by Jerusha Hess .  Links & Mentions Want to get lost in a rabbit hole that Stefanie cut from the episode? Read up on Regency House Party, the insane reality dataing show that forced signle people to live an incredibly accurate Regency lifestyle while trying to find love ... think insanly accurate, like washing your hair with egg whites, and being forced to sleep in a broom closet-sized room off the side of your chaperone's rooms because the producers designated you a lowly "lady's companion", level of accurate.  The Indiewire faux pas is linked here .  The Guardian review can be found in full here .
