In honor of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday we’re dedicating the whole month to the queen of wit, romance, & social chaos.

We’re comparing adaptations, swooning over Mr. Darcy variations, & wrapping it all up with a zombie twist that Jane definitely didn’t see coming. 💐🧟‍♀️

All three hosts agreed Jamie Dornan stepped up BIG in this film, Dakota Johnson brought Ana to life in a way the book didn’t & the character development (especially Ana’s) worked so much better on screen. And yes—we talk about why this story absolutely did not need to be 500+ pages. 🙈

🌶️📚With as many spicy scenes as they have in the book, we knew they wouldn't all make it to the movie. But did you know they even filmed some that didn't make the cut? 🎬

✨ Some stories shift when they cross worlds, and His Dark Materials is no exception. As we move through Next Chapter November, we’re looking at the biggest book-to-screen differences between The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and Seasons 1–2 of the BBC/HBO series. ⬇️

🤦‍♀️Leave it to Crystal to dive into the most awkward conversation ever. To be fair- Philip Pullman did it first! One scene in The Subtle Knife was changed significantly in the His Dark Materials and we think we know why. 🙈🙊🙉

For more awkward discussions and hot takes, listen to our podcast!🎙️ 💙📚🎬🎥

🎼 Considering how much he has contributed, Lin-Manuel Miranda is basically a Disney Prince at this point. 🤴

🐰We love LMM, but Lee Scoresby in His Dark Materials was definitely not what we pictured after reading The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife.
