Emma, Part 2 (Ep. 86)

It's still February, and that means we're still talking about Jane Austen's Emma! In Part One, we looked at five of the more traditional television and movie adaptations, but in Part Two, we're stepping away from the traditional.

In this episode we discuss:

• Clueless (1995), written and directed by Amy Heckerling, and starring Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, and Brittany Murphy
• Aisha (2010), directed by Rajshree Ojha, written by Devika Bhagat and Ritu Bhatia, and starring Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol
• Emma Approved (2013–2014), created by Bernie Su, and starring Joanna Sotomura, Brent Bailey, and Dayeanne Hutton
• The Emma Agenda (2017), written and directed by Jules Pigott, and starring Selis Maria Vargas, Angela Wong Carbone, and Jillian Hite
• Jane Austen's Emma — A Musical Romantic Comedy (2018), written by Paul Gordon, directed by Tim Kashani and Kent Nicholson, and starring Kelli Barrett, Timothy Gulan, and Dani Marcus
