What's the Tea on Jane Austen?

"Emma" is the novel that made Jane Austen famous. But soon after it was published, she died—leaving her family and fans to debate if she was a prim spinster... or a secret radical. Zoom's second season hails groundbreaking cinematic storytellers, and there's no one cooler to kick it off with than this wildly misunderstood author, whose stories filmmakers keep turning to again and again. We explore Jane's hidden politics, and how they went missing from Hollywood adaptations... then dive into the innovative new screen version of "Emma" that finally keeps Austen weird. Special guests: "EMMA." (2020) Director Autumn de Wilde and Elisa Donovan, aka Amber from "Clueless."

Viva the Diva! What makes her divine?

All hail! Divas demand worship, from Beyoncé and Barbra to the fictional Grace Davis in the new flick The High Note. But these powerful women aren't content to merely conquer music -- they want Hollywood, too. Why do divas risk their reputations for a shot at the big screen? Who's succeeded? And how did "diva" go from reverence to insult? Let's trace the history of the word back to the living gods of Ancient Rome, where Caligula put his own spin on "Slay!" Then, let's meet the opera and silent film stars who embraced the word and defied social taboos small and large, whether feeding their pet alligators champagne or openly celebrating their own worth. Perhaps we should be a bit more diva? Special guest: The High Note director Nisha Ganatra.
