Episode #477: 'Sense and Sensibility' (2026) with Nikki Payne

Did we need another Sense & Sensibility? Turns out, maybe yes. Romance novelist (and cultural anthropologist!) Nikki Payne joins us to weigh the merits of director Georgia Oakley’s new adaptation, and separate the Willoughbys from the Bradleys. Then we read a hotline email about esoteric movie insights and subject Alonso to the first Christmas Movie Minute of the year!
