Sense and Sensibility with Rachel Stone

It's a Christmas Miracle! BAP returns to your feed to begin our Jane Austen miniseries. 

Rachel Stone (BOMB Magazine, Real Life Mag, The New Republic) comes back on the Pod to discuss Ang Lee's 1995 Sense and Sensibility, adapted from the Jane Austen novel of the same name. Written by, and starring, Emma Thompson, the film is a rouges gallery of UK movie stars, including Hugh Grant, Kate Winslet, and Alan Rickman. It is also the English-language debut of Ang Lee, a Taiwanese director then known for his domestic dramas about emotional repression and family relations. Does the film successfully translate Sense and Sensibility? Or does this adaptation lose the head and the heart of its source material? 

Frank, Caleb, and Rachel discuss wedding playlists, fuckbois, and Hulk. Plus, Frank brings back an old gameshow.
