Amanda and Dayelle are back in the Tudor-verse with a very special guest—author Jodi Meadows, one of the brilliant minds behind My Lady Jane! They’re talking all things Jane: the delightfully bonkers book, the pitch-perfect (and sadly not-renewed 😭) TV adaptation, and what it’s really like to co-write a novel with two other authors. Plus, Jodi spills the tea on her new and upcoming books—you’re going to want to add these to your TBR ASAP. It’s book nerd heaven, and yes, there will be squealing.

Amanda and Dayelle dive into the chilling world of I Know What You Did Last Summer—the classic 1997 slasher and the book that started it all. Let’s just say… there’s secrets, suspense, and some seriously questionable decisions. (There’s a killer, a hook, and lots of teenage drama.) They’re unpacking the differences between the book’s tension and the movie’s iconic scares. AND should you watch it or read it?

Amanda and Dayelle take a moody stroll through the English countryside with Thomas Hardy’s Far From the Madding Crowd and its 2015 film adaptation. Let’s just say… Dayelle may never live this one down. (There’s a dog. There’s a flock of sheep. There’s trauma.) Will Amanda forgive her? TBD. They’re breaking down Bathsheba’s many romantic entanglements, the gut-punch subplots, and the dramatic love triangle(s) that put modern-day rom-coms to shame. AND should you watch it or read it?
