I'd Watch That: Sense & Sensibility

Jane Austen gave us two sisters with very different ideas about love. Somehow, all three of us ended up at a wedding.

In this episode of I’d Watch That, we’re pairing movies with Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen’s 1811 novel about Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. Elinor can get through an entire visit without letting on that her heart is breaking. Marianne would like to know what the point of being in love is if you’re going to keep it to yourself.

So what would we watch after spending time with the Dashwood sisters? Michelle, Laura, and Katya each brought a movie to pair with the book, and we’ll give you one clue. Every pick involves a wedding.

You’ll have to listen to find out who picked what and how we got from the Dashwoods to the big day. See if you can guess us all before we give the titles away.

ABOUT CHAPTER ONE, SCENE ONE

Sometimes we watch a movie and think, “I'd read that.” Sometimes we finish a book and think, “I'd watch that.”

Welcome to Chapter One, Scene One, where books and movies meet and we figure out what stories belong together.

Join Michelle, Laura, and Katya as we pull apart the themes, tropes, characters, and ideas behind the stories we're reading and watching, then pair them with something from the other side of the page or screen.

And in our What Would _____ Read? episodes, Michelle and Laura do a little digging into the actors behind the movies, from what they've actually read to the roles they've played, to answer one completely unsolicited question: What book do we think they'd love?

Expect book recommendations, movie recommendations, questionable connections we'll attempt to defend, occasional disagreements, and a TBR and watchlist that will probably be longer by the time we're finished.

Because around here, the question isn't just “Was the book better?”

It's “What should we read—or watch—next?”
