Talking Tropes 60: Zack Snyder's Tom and Jerry

Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma are novels so deeply rooted in the values and ideas of Regency England (c. 1811 – 1820) that it seems impossible to adapt them to our modern "Sensibilities" (pun intended). 
Yet, Hollywood has produced several Austen adaptations set in the turn of the 21st century. Today with special guest and Austen fan Liz DeKok, we look at three of these, Clueless (1995), Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), and the somewhat obscure Prada to Nada (2011). Do these values translate? And how have Austen's novels contributed to the tropes and cliches of the Romantic Comedy?

A little bit of Baudrillard and The Matrix: Resurrections help us understand why Facebook is now called Meta and why our reality is becoming harder to distinguish from virtual reality.  Let's trace the history of the Metaverse to its source and look at how HBO Max is using it to showcase its intellectual property in The Matrix, Ready Player One, and even Space Jam.

Making your way in the avatar world today takes everything you got. Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot. It's time to stop the plot and take a shot. It's filler time baby. Also, everyone's favorite boomer aunt, Lin Beifong gets a terrible backstory. Let's do it.

We take a quick look at the epilogue to Steven Universe: The Movie, which is the epilogue to Steven Universe: The Show. Is this the end? And is it the ending we wanted, or the ending we deserved?

Happy Easter everyone! Today we're exploring the film adaptations of the life and deeds of Jesus Christ. Hard to believe that Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar were both released the same year, right? And then adapted to films the same year! The 70s were weird, man.
