Episode notes

Did Jane Austen invent the enemies to lovers trope? We can’t say for sure, but she certainly perfected it if Pride & Prejudice (2005) has anything to say about it. For Danielle’s birthday episode, we’re stepping into Regency-era England to gush over one of the most beloved adaptations from the famous romance author herself. Featuring a phenomenal cast led by Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, this film delivers peak yearning and more pop culture memes than we can count. This episode, we’re swooning over it all as we talk on-set romances, beet root makeup, the Learned Pig of Norwich, and that iconic hand flex.
