We're finally getting around to tackling Jane's only nonfiction novel, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," which covers the zombie apocalypse of 1813, as well as the marriage — officiated by Doctor Who himself — of Elizabeth Bennet to handsome actor Sam Riley, who everyone agrees is the best Mr. Darcy.

Send us a Text Message. This episode is a minisode. The TLDR of it is that a family emergency sent Dan on a 1600 mile impromptu roadtrip last week, and there was no time to record a new episode.

Just as the predator claimed King Willie's skull as a trophy in 1990's Predator 2, so Willoughby (aka Rodrigo Fuentes) mercilessly crushes the hopes of Mary Dominguez (aka Marianne Dashwood) in this modern retelling of Sense (aka Prada) and Sensibility (aka nada).

Honestly, sounds like a blast.…
