Two good movies in a row? On Eyre on Air?? We are #blessed. This week we're chatting about the movie The Personal History of David Copperfield, starring Dev Patel, Tilda Swinton, Hugh Laurie, Peter Capaldi, and Ben Wishaw. And honestly, despite the fact that it's based on a Dicken's novel, it's an absolute gem that got lost in the chaos of 2020. Plus, you know you need your Dev Patel fix since The Green Knight just came out...

The Personal History of David Copperfield

Good evening, and welcome to our new podcast that is only about how incredible Gong Li is. This week we're talking about 2006's gorgeous Chinese epic The Curse of the Golden Flower, starring Chow Yun-Fat, Jay Chou, and obviously, Gong Li. So strap on your rollerblades and prepare yourselves mentally for a story where literally no one is happy and weird preteens are lurking around every corner. It's The Curse of the Golden Flower!

Happy Fourth of July! As a special treat, since our release schedule has been pretty unreliable lately, we dusted off the old Lincoln audio from July 2018 and gave it a little fixin' up and are re-releasing it for y'all for July 4th 2021! If you didn't listen to the original, this is us talking about the 2012 Daniel Day-Lewis biopic of President Abraham Lincoln, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring a shitload of other famous actors like Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, and Joseph Gordon Levitt. Give it a listen! 

Lincoln Remaster

It's almost July Fourth weekend, party people. And you know what that means! Time to hunt some goddamn, slavery-loving, confederate vampires. This week we're doing our patriotic duty to the United States of America and talking about the 2012 masterpiece, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. It's basically the Daniel Day-Lewis Lincoln biopic except with an axe that is also a gun.

In yet another example of why Kelsey is no longer allowed to choose the movies, the 1994 Edward Zwick film Legends of the Fall is discussed and it is decided that not even hot young Brad Pitt can save us from falling into a deep despair after this viewing. Anyway, it stars Anthony Hopkins as a fabulous gay dad, as well as Aidan Quinn, Julia Ormond, and Henry Thomas. White men performing Indigenous rituals and traditions problematically, here we come! 

Legends of the Fall

After an unfortunate delay, we are delighted to bring you a podcast about an unfortunate movie! This week, Kelsey, Jenn, and Joe are discussing the absolute disgrace of a movie, 2018's Otto Bathurst adaptation of Robin Hood, starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx, and Ben Mendelsohn. Is it steampunk? Is it dystopian? Is it a period piece? WHERE ARE WE???

Join us this week as we delve into the questionable 2009 PBS adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, starring Tom Hardy, Charlotte Riley, Andrew Lincoln, and Burn Gorman. We will also be exploring exciting topics like Heathcliff's weird, semi-necrophilia, Heathcliff and Hindley's bad romance, Cathy's non-existent sanity, and discussing who actually was out there wandering those moors all the time! Tune in today!

Wuthering Heights

We are DELIGHTED this week to bring something we have all been waiting for. It's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion! The record setting Indian film is directed by S.S. Rajamouli and stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah, and Ramya Krishnan. We would highly recommend listening to Episode 2 of this season before tackling this one!

Baahubali 2

He is Risen! If by "He," you mean the sexual tension between Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell in this week's movie. We're discussing 2011's masterpiece of a film, The Eagle, by Kevin Macdonald. Get excited for Romans, casual racism against indigenous peoples, weird accents, homoeroticism, and Donald Sutherland! This film has everything! Except speaking parts for women! 

The Eagle

Our long-awaited Handmaiden episode is finally here! After numerous audio difficulties, we've managed to put together a complete episode for you about the 2016 South Korean film The Handmaiden, based on the book Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. It's got tentacles, backstabbing lesbians, and a full porno's length of power scissoring! Strap in and strap on, dear listeners!

The Handmaiden

FINALLY. Apologies for the lateness, but we're so relieved to even have an episode to post for you! This week we're reviewing the 2020 Netflix film Rebecca, starring Lily James and Armie Hammer and based on the 1938 novel by Daphne du Maurier.  Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again...

Rebecca

1998's The Man in the Iron Mask presents us with a great mystery. Did Leonardo DiCaprio, John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons, and the many other great actors in this film simply get cast in this film and forget how to act? Or had they perhaps taken leave of their senses at the time of filming? We may never know. Please come along for the ride as Kelsey gives out her first 5 chamber pots! 

The Man in the Iron Mask

Well, it's finally here. The movie that at least one of you has been waiting for. This week we are covering the Bollywood period fantasy epic, Baahubali, starring Prabhas, Tamannaah, and Rana Daggubati. The highest grossing film in India at the time of its' release in 2015, it is a wild ride of waterfall climbing, Mario-jumping, and makeover dancing. Oh and also lawnmower-ing over top of peasants. Enjoy!

Baahubali

Welcome to Season 3, dear listeners! It's 2021 and we are back, baby! And in an effort to be relevant, we have decided to join the ~discourse~ and watch and discuss the first three episodes of the Shonda Rhimes Netflix original series, Bridgerton. Spoilers ahoy, if you have not already binged the first season!

Bridgerton

Happy Hallow-week, my spooky bitches! Our second special October episode is here, and this week we've reviewed 2012's The Woman in Black, based off of the Susan Hill novel of the same name and starring Daniel Radcliffe, fresh outta Hogwarts! Join us as we watch Harry Potter make increasingly poor decisions and inadvertently murder children as he attempts to do some paperwork. 

The Woman in Black

Eyre on Air is a period drama podcast, without all the drama. Every couple weeks, your hosts Kelsey, Jenn, and Joe review and rate a new period drama for your entertainment. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're bad, and sometimes they're worse than a bunch of chamber pots stacked on top of one another.
