We love period piece movies. We loooooove them, like "speedily drink four glasses of wine and monologue about Darcy staring at Elizabeth across the room" love them. Like "have categorized every love interest in our life according to their Darcy/Wickham/Thornton/Bingley alignment" love them. Like "one of us maybe is getting a PhD in Victorian literature because of them" love them. Like "we know which 'side' Colin Firth dresses on in that movie" love them. But we're also curious about WHY we love them: these aren't movies that present visions of the world that feel that great to any of us. The clothes we admire on Margaret Hale were probably out of this world uncomfortable. And honestly Mr. Darcy probably bathed rarely and thus smelled really bad. So: why???? What is it about this genre that is so compelling? On this episode, we really get into it. We watch 1995's Pride and Prejudice, 2004's North and South, and 2013's Belle and we drink many bottles of wine in order to open communication between our superegos and the alarming id opinion that still thinks dresses with corsets look like a nice option. Hit us up. We definitely want to hear what you think about this one: instagram.com/citizenjanepod twitter.com/citizenjanepod citizenjanepodcast@gmail.com
