(TW: In this episode, we discuss rape and racist violence, specifically in reference to a scene from season 1 of Bridgerton.) Molly, Emma, and special guest Becky talk Bridgerton. In this episode, we’re considering the adaptation process, and what was lost and gained when the story went from the bookshelf to the Netflix watchlist. Also of interest: more on the advantages and pitfalls of colorblind casting, the romcomification of Taming of the Shrew, the meaning of race in pre-20th century Britain, why Mr. Darcy isn’t a Duke, and thinking about who is and isn’t allowed certain forms of pleasure.
