Closing Remarks and Call to Action

DC and Lisa open with a Sense and Sensibility quote (“My heart is, and always will be, yours”) that appeared on a high profile wedding napkin over the weekend.  They discuss how Austen permeates popular culture, then interview TikTok creator and musician Mickie Austen Rollins, discovered through her clips about The Other Bennet Sister. Mickie explains falling in love with Pride and Prejudice as a teen, changing her middle name to Austen, and why she considers Austen “punk” for her social commentary, class critique, and witty, nonconforming women. She praises The Other Bennet Sister for respecting Austen fandom, discusses casting and costuming concerns for upcoming Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility adaptations, critiques Sanditon’s hair choices, strongly dislikes Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, and recommends reading Austen biographies (Paula Byrne, Gill Hornby) emphasizing Cassandra’s importance and Austen’s hardships and legacy.
