It's still February, and that means we're still talking about Jane Austen's Emma! In Part One, we looked at five of the more traditional television and movie adaptations, but in Part Two, we're stepping away from the traditional.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Clueless (1995), written and directed by Amy Heckerling, and starring Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, and Brittany Murphy
  • Aisha (2010), directed by Rajshree Ojha, written by Devika Bhagat and Ritu Bhatia, and starring Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol
  • Emma Approved (2013–2014), created by Bernie Su, and starring Joanna Sotomura, Brent Bailey, and Dayeanne Hutton
  • The Emma Agenda (2017), written and directed by Jules Pigott, and starring Selis Maria Vargas, Angela Wong Carbone, and Jillian Hite
  • Jane Austen's Emma — A Musical Romantic Comedy (2018), written by Paul Gordon, directed by Tim Kashani and Kent Nicholson, and starring Kelli Barrett, Timothy Gulan, and Dani Marcus

It's February, and that means Valentine's Day. We think there's no better way to celebrate than a month-long, two-part look at Jane Austen's wannabe-Cupid herself, Emma Woodhouse!

In Part 1, we're discussing:

  • Jane Austen's original 1815 novel
  • The 1972 miniseries, directed by John Glenister, written by Denis Constanduros, and starring Doran Godwin and John Carson
  • The 1996 theatrical movie, written and directed by Douglas McGrath, and starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Toni Collette, Ewan McGregor, and Jeremy Northam
  • The 1996 TV movie, directed by Diarmuid Lawrence, written by Andrew Davies, and starring Kate Beckinsale, Mark Strong, Samantha Morton, and Olivia Williams
  • The 2009 miniseries, directed by Jim O'Hanlon, written by Sandy Welch, and starring Romola Garai, Jonny Lee Miller, and Michael Gambon
  • The 2020 theatrical movie, directed by Autumn de Wilde, written by Eleanor Catton, and starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Johnny Flynn, and Bill Nighy

In Part 2, we'll be taking a look at some of the less traditional adaptations (and yes, that means Clueless).
