In this episode, Gaby and Andreina discuss the 2022 film Emily, written and directed by Frances O'Connor in her directorial debut. Emily is a part-fictional portrait of English writer Emily Brontë mostly converting the period of her life before she wrote her novel Wuthering Heights.

In this episode, Gaby and Andreina discuss the much-talked-about 2022 Austrian movie Corsage, which depicts a year in the life of Elisabeth of Austria, better known as Sisi. Mixing historical fact with imaginative interpretation, the film is a fascinating portrayal of this beloved Austrian icon, one that remains more a myth than a real person in the general imagination. Gaby and Andreina also welcome a very special guest to talk about Sisi and help separate fact from fiction. ***Spoiler alert!

We rarely find a more determined fictional female character in literature from the late 19th century than Bathsheba Everdeen. Guided by a strong will and a deep-rooted desire to build her path while keeping her full independence, Bathsheba learns the hard way that love and companionship are still not that bad after all. A film full of breathtaking landscapes, a plot with unexpected twists, and a love story to remember, Far from the Madding Crowd made us think about women's leadership in an unusual time and place as well as the hard choices we sometimes get in life. ***Spoiler alert!

Whether to mask insecurities or simply a money making gimmick, there are plenty of examples of stage personas, costume acts, and makeup-wearing artists in every genre of music. In this  episode we explore some early rock examples, and then jump through metal, rap, EDM, goth, and new wave dandies. School's out forever? Nah it's just getting started.

We take a little break from the audio commentating to do a little bit of audio pontificating on a whole host of topics, starting with a Blue Plate Special concerned with re-litigating the holiday classic The Nightmare Before Christmas before finding a lot to love in Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg. This week's bonus episode finally gets around to the broad and nearly indefinable topic of what exactly happens when history and filmmaking collide. What does the art form of cinema "owe" the people, places, and ideas of the past and what do such interpretations have to tell us about the times in which they were produced? We follow up a parsing of the various modes, highs, lows, and all in the middle when it comes to notable examples of historical films and finally get around to pitching some of our own ideas of past peoples or events ripe for contemporary consideration.

This week we're looking at the colourful lives of a 17th century couple and their pleasure palace in Derbyshire. In the 1600s, William and Margaret Cavendish used Bolsover Castle as a place for entertaining and pursuing their personal interests. Today, this creative couple and their fairy tale mansion are the focus of a new project designed to bring their stories to life for visitors through theatrical costumes and interactive props. We're joined by senior properties historian Dr Megan Leyland, costume designer Sophie Fretwell and Illustrator Mel Northover to find out more.

The dragons have often said that historical fiction fulfils the same needs as SFF for many people - intricate world building, the strange familiarity, the sense of visiting another place where the rules are completely different and doing so safely, and a rich, immersive story. For this, reason the Period or Costume Drama is amongst the most popular of genre adaptations. Following on from a previous episode on adaptation and reimaginings of speculative fiction, this week Jules and Madeleine look at the pros and cons of Period Drama; how historically accurate do they need to be? How faithful to the source material? And is it possible to breach the centuries between the audience a 19th C novel was intended for and a more modern audience? Under examination this week - Ivanhoe, Mansfield Park, Jane Eyre, Gentleman Jack and many more.  Title Music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

Alexa is FURIOUS that her boyfriend agreed to do a couple costume for a Halloween party but later on in the week he told her that's he going to do something with his boys on the football team! Halloween is a big deal to her but does she have a right to be mad b/c they always have next year(if they don't break up)? Or should she just let it go? Listen in now!

The time has finally come friends! The Outlander Omnibus has arrived and we are the most hype. First, we introduce you to our unconventional take on the show, Outlander: An American Girl Story. We cover all the hits like Meet Claire! Claire Learns A Lesson! Claire Saves The Day! Claire Makes A Friend! It's a costume drama steeped in historical moments but for Adults (and the occasional Ebay Seller?)! Then, we go a different adaptive route and try our hand at Sorting the characters of Outlander. Find out who the Surprise Slytherin is, which family is most likely to produce Gryffindors, ponder with us why there weren't more Ravenclaws, and appreciate the strength of the Hufflepuff representation. There's truly something for everyone in this episode even if you don't like time travel or pagans! We're members of the Thought Bubble Audio Network.

…in which our fearless podcaster always dresses for the occasion. JB briefly weighs in on Jodie Whittaker’s new Doctor costume.

Doug, Jen, Victoria and Cara talk about the tragic shooting in Las Vegas over the weekend, and shine a light on some of the heroes who put themselves in danger to save the lives of those around them. They lighten things up a bit with news of some big drama surrounding one of the biggest Halloween costumes this year, and learn about a new French ban - on skinny models!! Costco is ready to help out in the next natural disaster with a pricey survival kit and Jen and Victoria give the lowdown on the biggest news from the sports world involving new helmet testing in the NFL to prevent concussions. 

Catching this film soon after its U.S. release, we admired much about the story but found the costumes a little lacking in historical accuracy. Yep, designer Joan Bergin reused some things from The Tudors and let a little gaposis shine into A Little Chaos, but at least we still have determined proto-feminist Kate Winslet, brooding Belgian Matthias Schoenaerts, and not enough of the awesome Alan Rickman playing around in muddy Versailles to distract us.

The BBC (and Masterpiece PBS) brings back Ross Poldark and his lady-loves Elizabeth and Demelza in this reboot of the 1970's historical romance fave set in 18th-century Cornwall. While the costuming and hairstyles are a bit lackluster, Aidan Turner's broody manliness might just make up for the lack of historical accuracy.

A real mixed bag this time! James and Michele discuss the thirteenth Doctor's sense of fashion.  Stephen drops in a more thoughtful (and detailed) opinion too. Ian is then joined by Nicholas Briggs and discusses the...
