Manners & Madness: A Jane Austen & David Lynch Podcast

This week we have one more loose end to wrap up before we start Twin Peaks season 3 and we’re glad we didn’t miss it. In a show that is spoiled with great soundtracks this may be the best of the bunch.

Back during our watchalong of Hallmark’s Loveuary we missed one, this week we go back and fix that, with our commentary on Paging Mr. Darcy.

We’ve been watching, listening and reading a lot of fun things lately and so we wanted to share them on the podcast.

This week we are covering the Twin Peaks season 2 soundtrack. This soundtrack has so much to discuss, it’s ‘50s, synthy, bluesy, jazzy, symphonic, and so much more. We really enjoyed this one!

This week is the thrilling conclusion to our coverage of 2008’s Sense and Sensibility. Will anything be different in this adaptation? Whose story is more important? What are the rules of duels? These are some of the many questions we ask/answer this episode.

This week we are on to the second episode of the 2008 Sense and Sensibility miniseries, in which we observe the majority of the Marianne/Willoughby drama.

This week we are starting the 2008 BBC/Masterpiece adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. It is very atmospheric and has a great cast.

This week we finishing up our thoughts on Inland Empire, seeking wisdom from other Lynchians, and finding out what our dreams say about us.

We couldn’t stop thinking of Catherine O’Hara so we decided to watch Beetlejuice and record a commentary track while we did it.

Join us this week as we watch the 2005 Pride and Prejudice and commentate upon it.

This week we finish our recap of Inland Empire. A movie where the closer you get the further away it seems.

This week we start our final David Lynch movie and it is a doozy. In part one of out Inland Empire coverage we try to make since of some of the disparate dream like elements and wonder is it the characters or us who are having memory problems.

This week we are counting down our ten favorite couples and ranking them from least healthy to most healthy relationship.

This week we are taking a break from our regularly scheduled fun break from reality, to actually talk about reality. Sometime you just need to talk about the moment and we decided to share that with you. We hope it doesn’t feel burdensome but helps us connect as humans going through troubling times.

This week we are having some fun with a Top Ten list. We are counting down our 10 favorite locations from David Lynch and Jane Austen.

This week we are delighted to share an episode of The Blue Rose Taskforce that featured Maya hosting a panel on the topic of Magic in Twin Peaks.

And thank you to the wonderful panelists Chelsey Weber-Smith (American Hysteria), Indigo Baloch ( Full Blossom of the Evening), Jess Purser (Jess Purser Art), and Lindsay Hallum ( Sci Frights)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday’s to everyone! This week we are talking Scrooged, looking back on 2025, and figuring out which Christmas icon we are.

This week we follow up Home Alone with Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. We question if adults in this universe are all dumb and ask which Home Alone is best?

This week we are starting our countdown to Christmas with a classic, Home Alone. Does it still hold up? Is it secretly a horror movie? Is it the best Christmas movie? Come laugh along with us as we discuss it.

This week we are talking Turkey and holidays and what’s left on our master list. We would love to hear from you about your traditions and anything we are missing from our future plans.
