Jane Austen's Emma

Welcome to Episode 5 of Season 2 of Adapted with Anna and Sam! In this episode, Anna and Sam dare to invite Michelle back onto the podcast as the three discuss Jane Austen's Emma, and their two favorite adaptations, the 2009 mini-series starring Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller and 1995's Clueless, of course! This time we ask, has Jeremy Sisto ever played a good guy? He needs to stop with his handsy-self. And seriously, how many pictures of Dorian Gray are there, because Paul Rudd, Jonny Lee Miller, and Alicia Silverstone have not aged a bit! 

You can find all the cast lists and other fun trivia on iMDB.

Purchase the book and/or movies at Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble, or your favorite indie bookstore, or borrow from your local library in person or via Overdrive. (Please support your local library!!) And give a listen to the soundtrack. It's dope!

And be sure to check out Michelle's new podcast, Might I Suggest, when it launches in August! We'll be sure to follow up with a date closer to launch.
