Austenland

Hart of Dixie Chicks

We’ve made it all the way to week 10, and this gem is our reward. We happily rewatch 2013’s film adaptation of Austenland, and we think you should too. This one has everything — sax solos, Lord of the Rings, Nelly stories, Gaius Baltar, and even a little JJ Tilney talk. Hop a plane and clean out your savings account (figuratively) with us, dear hearts.
