Hart of Dixie Chicks

It’s a Halloween treat for us all as we dive into one of Jaleh’s all-time favorites and Jessica’s core fear, 1987’s The Monster Squad. We’re joined by resident monster expert, Jamie Clark Yeah, as we round up the ammo, virgins, and one Scary German Guy with a delicious looking pie. Grab your amulet and your Van Helsing diary and meet us in the South Hollow town square, dear hearts.

Get ready for a Halloween treat from your Hart Chicks. Our Monster Squad episode drops on October 27, 2023.

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.

Lots of firsts in this one, dear hearts, as we watch the Emmy Award-winning Lizzie Bennet Diaries. It’s our first webseries, our first modern adaptation, possibly our first disagreement! Don’t believe us? Ask my fiancé who lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba! Plus, Jess goes way into her fandom days, and Jaleh finds the links in the dooblydoo. Whhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

We’re into our second Pride & Prejudice, and this time, we got Zombies in the mix. Thankfully, we have Honorary Hart Chick and Midnight Murderaman Jamie to chat through it with us. We ask the big questions like: Which fighting style is best? Is Darcy’s duster jacket fit for a wedding? Who is this movie for? Wield your weapons with us, dear hearts!

This one’s a big one, dear hearts, so feel free to take a turn about the room with us as we fully experience Jessica’s favorite movie, 2005’s Pride & Prejudice. We talk tracking shots, wigs, Emma Thompson, dresses (especially those with hems six inches deep in mud), and hands, of course. Cold, flexed, or otherwise. This whole conversation was Jessica’s dream come true, so get yourself a plateful of exemplary vegetables to keep your strength up.

It’s time to get Gothic as we dive into the hilariously sweet Northanger Abbey. It has everything Jess loves — possible murders, innuendos, and very good faces. Plus, we get our fancasts on, develop our own modern adaptations, and occasionally discuss the plot. Slag off Sorkin with us, dear hearts.

Hold onto your butts, because we’re on a carriage ride with the Dashwoods. This week, we tackle the 2004 Sense & Sensibility miniseries, where we discuss the red flag combination of Lord Byron and Dominic Cooper, Cousin Matthew’s mullet, and a group of townies worthy of Bluebell. Don’t bother knocking, dear hearts— Meg already saw you and let us know you’re on your way.

This is an episode years in the making, much like the Marx-Engles Reader. We’re deep diving into North & South aka Pride & Prejudice & Death & Unions.

We’re flying across the pond and into the moors for a Jaleh favorite, the 2006 Jane Eyre miniseries. It’s the hottest Rochester the world has ever known, and listener, we’d marry him too. We cover it all from Dave Matthews Band to Ruth Wilson’s gorgeous hair and everything in between. Wander the halls with us, dear hearts, but keep your flaming dresses at home.

We’re starting our journey to the past on this side of the pond with Greta Gerwig’s Little Women. Jaleh dives deep into the color story of Miss Flo, and Jessica can’t stop talking about a different film. It’s the classic Hart Chicks you know and love. Come trade limes with us, dear hearts.

The Hart Chicks Present is dropping a new season on June 22, 2023. Join us, dear hearts, on a 10 week journey of classic literature film and mini-series adaptations, with a few modern twists thrown into the mix.

It’s trope talk this week on The Hart Chicks Present as we ask ourselves so many questions about 2005’s The Baxter. While this film is our type on paper, it better get its grafting boots on. However, we’d go geode hunting in Malta with Justin Theroux and Jack Mechanic any day. We’re Doug and you’re dear hearts, and forever the twain shall meet

We get deep into our feelings this week in part two of our Kumail couplet, where we all catch The Big Sick, based on Kumail & Emily’s IRL relationship. Jaleh explains why it’s triggering, Jessica yammers on about Ray Romano, and Honorary Hart Chick Jamie publicly apologizes for not laughing at every single one of Jess’s jokes. Have a slice of sheet cake with a robot and join us, dear hearts.

It’s a caper, it’s a romance, it’s a comedy, it’s Kumail and Issa giving us the goods from t to b.
