In honor of Jane Austen's 250th birthday, we teamed up with Hot and Bothered and blended our formats for a special crossover episode covering the 2007 fanfic Becoming Jane!

Topics discussed include why it's so hard to write dialogue for writers, the 2007 of it all, Anne Hathaway's terrible British accent, what this movie believes about love, the movie's lack of Austen's genius, digging your own potatoes, and Austen in popular culture.

Glossary of People, Places, and Things: Penelope, Atonement, The Last King of Scotland, Joe Wright, Shakespeare in Love, Les Mis
