Interview with Daisy and Esme

With Lisa away in Madrid casting Moulin Rouge!, DC returns solo and shares the full unedited junket interview with Sense and Sensibility stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles in Sydney. He teases an upcoming review of the film, plus reactions to the heavy Florence Pugh East of Eden series and a planned wrap-up when Lisa returns. He also talks about another podcast The Popcorn Bucket and notes a Sense and Sensibility-themed popcorn bucket he’s trying to track down. In the interview, the actors discuss their Austen fandom, embodying Elinor and Marianne, Regency costumes and bonnets, rehearsing distinct dance sequences, the impact of female creators, and why Austen’s character-driven stories remain endlessly adaptable.

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY - INTERVIEW WITH DAISY EDGAR JONES AND ESME CREED MILES

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/f78807b6-5a44-4a57-9d88-b4e0008e73cc/transcript

Hosts Lisa Campbell and David Campbell kick off a “Steinbeckverse” detour ahead of their upcoming Sense and Sensibility coverage, prompted by Netflix’s new East of Eden series starring Florence Pugh (releasing October 1). They discuss Steinbeck’s 1952 novel as his magnum opus, its two-family saga (Trasks and Hamiltons), and how the 1955 Elia Kazan film adapts only the book’s final section. After watching the James Dean version, they discuss Dean’s naturalistic, method-influenced performance and strong work from Jo Van Fleet and discuss the filmmaking elements like the overture, loud score, obvious studio backdrops, and abrupt pacing. They unpack key themes (Cain and Abel, inherited “badness,” war profiteering) and touch on Kazan’s controversy over naming names during McCarthyism, linking it to Zoe Kazan leading the new adaptation.

DC and Lisa celebrate the one-year anniversary of Into the Austenverse and reflect on global listenership and standout guests before welcoming award-winning writer/showrunner/executive producer Liz Doran to discuss Netflix’s My Brilliant Career. Doran shares how she came to the story via the film, pitched Netflix first, and developed a “dirty-hemmed, unbuttoned” Australian period drama with detailed realism, expanded First Nations storylines through First Nations writers and consultants, and a reimagined Harry with Chinese heritage, plus specific symbolic choices like native flowers and black cockatoo feathers. Actors Philippa Northeast (Sybylla) and Kate Mulvany (Augusta) join to discuss casting, building character through collaboration, working with Christopher Chung, filming key scenes like the New Year’s Eve party, and why the series’ themes of agency and ambition resonate worldwide, while hoping it inspires more Australian literary adaptations.

 ***Warning - there is a spicy discussion about Sybylla’s sex life in the interview with Pip and Kate.***
