This week the girls get their teeth into Jane Austen's masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice. They spend the entire hour agonizing over:
- The upsettingly thick layer of sexual tension running through all of Lizzy and Darcy's conversations (so sticky...)
- Hate-flirting as a viable way to meet your soulmate
- How amazing it is to have a heroine openly own a serious mistake in judgement, and not place herself in exile or throw herself off a cliff afterward
- Who is their favourite character (it's currently a between six way tie between Lizzy, Darcy, Lydia, Mrs Bennet, Mr Bennet, Mr Collins and Lady Catherine de Bourgh - with an honourable mention for ugly-sexy Colonel Fitzwilliam), and
- Who gets the excerpt reading Oscar this episode: Chloe for her magnificent delivery of "We neither of us perform for strangers" or Sarah's actually life-changing Lady Catherine. The Academy have a long night of deliberations ahead of them.
Other topics include:
- A surprisingly indepth history of K-Pop lightsticks (and yes you do need one)
- A very successful demonstration on how reverse psychology may work in convincing your toddler, or 19 year old friend from Drumcondra, to do something
- A quick plug for Westworld, which is always welcome. Especially considering Saoirse's slightly weird crush on Ed Harris...which we're not sure what to do with...
