My little sausages need to be freed

Truths Universally Acknowledged

This week, Emma's on a camping trip, so Molly and special guest Becky Hixon discuss episode 4 of The Courtship! In this episode, we get angry at one suitor, pile love on another, and beg one more to PLEASE STOP SINGING. Plus: Becky tells Molly about her research on the practice of so-called "raceblind" or "colorblind" casting of classic and historical texts. Other topics of interest: Shakespeare's problem(atic) plays, Game of Thrones' pseudo-medievalism, dueling, race and desirability, balcony gossip, and the show's ongoing bonnet conundrum.
