Scene Breakdown: Mr. Knightley Lies Down on the Floor in Emma (2020)
Autumn de Wilde’s Emma is riveting and ridiculously fun in a number of ways, including its addictive soundtrack, but we’re here to break down one of my favorite scenes all throughout the stunning film that is full of them. (We’ll have more in-depth ones than these, but this one, this one’s purely joyous.) Knightley exasperated and lying... Continue Reading →
Music Monday: Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar (Original Soundtrack) by Christopher Lennertz and Dara Taylor
I still don't know what I watched through Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar, but it was delightful all around and the soundtrack especially is a bop. We still have "Edgar's Prayer" performed by Jamie Dornan featuring Amy Keys on replay and quite frankly I don't know when I'll stop singing along to... Continue Reading →
Miss Scarlet and The Duke 1×06 “The Case of Henry Scarlet” Review

This Week’s Most Exquisite TV Moment
February 14-20"Lockdown" | The Rookie Source: ABC It's been another fantastic week on television starting with a riveting and delicious episode of Miss Scarlet and The Duke.

February 14-20"Breaking the Fourth Wall" | WandaVisionKathryn Hahn Source: Disney Plus Before we dive into this performance review, make sure you’ve seen the latest episode of WandaVision because this will be spoiler heavy. We knew. We all knew, but a teeny tiny part of us hoped, perhaps even thought, no we’re wrong, it’s too obvious.... Continue Reading →
Character Deep Dive: Star Wars’ Leia Organa
Source: Lucas Film For so many of us Leia Organa, as Princess Leia, was the first woman in a large franchise that would’ve otherwise primarily appealed to boys. She broke barriers and kicked things into motions for female characters that were so much more than just the hero’s girlfriend. She wasn't just the princess, she... Continue Reading →
Scene Breakdown: “American Pie” from Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist
I had not heard “American Pie” before Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist—and before even watching, I didn’t spoil myself to see what song writers would have chosen to address the Clarke family's grief. It worked and it worked beautifully. It worked because not only did it give each character the most appropriate part to sing along to while... Continue Reading →
Lady Geeks’ Society Podcast | Episode IX: “After the Rain” Review
On this week's episode of Lady Geeks' Society Podcast, we're talking all things Bridgerton's season finale. The big reveal at the end that we love so much. The conclusion to Daphne and Simon's fantastic story that we appreciated in the TV series way more in the books. We discuss everything from agency to the important... Continue Reading →
Scene Breakdown: Elizabeth Bennet Visits Pemberley in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
So much of this chapter is probably as perfect as it gets in the entire book--even more so than Darcy's (final) and more vulnerable proposal that's easily so favorable. But there is also something so telling about about visiting one's childhood home--the place where they are their truest self, which holds so much power in... Continue Reading →
