Gentle listeners, this year marks the 20th anniversary of Joe Wright's film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, which released in 2005 and stars Kiera Knightley and Matthew MacFayden. Join Kristin, Maggie and our dear friend Adrienne Garcia-Specht to discuss what we love and hate about this beloved, controversial, and wildly successful adaptation!
As you probably guessed, Kristin still hates it.
By the way, you must check out the recent edition of Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South by unnamed press, which features a section with Adrienne interviewing Morgan Spector!
