Hold onto your butts, because we’re on a carriage ride with the Dashwoods. This week, we tackle the 2004 Sense & Sensibility miniseries, where we discuss the red flag combination of Lord Byron and Dominic Cooper, Cousin Matthew’s mullet, and a group of townies worthy of Bluebell. Don’t bother knocking, dear hearts— Meg already saw you and let us know you’re on your way.

Hart of Dixie Chicks
Some friends have a weekly discussion about the 2011-2015 CW show, Hart of Dixie. Join our journey to Bluebell, Alabama where we debate the merits of small town life, love triangles, alligators as pets, and formal shorts as part of your work wardrobe.
