220. Little Women (1994) with special guest Emily Ollero Jones from the Female Driven Podcast - a podcast by Scott and Pete

"I go around throwing away perfectly good marriage proposals!" It's the holidays and we wanted some snow so we watched "LIttle Women" (1994) with Emily Ollero Jones from "Female Driven" Podcast and we're not crying - you are! We all grew up with the March Sisters and the Christmas season is the perfect time of year to revisit our favorite old timey feminist icons. We're spoiled for choice when it comes to film adaptaions of Louisa May Alcott's classic - but being the children of the 90's we are, we decided on the GIllian Amrstrong directed 1994 version starring Gen X Queen Winona Ryder. While our main focus is the '90s version we can't help but talk about the other three adaptations - all iconic in their own way. But this cast is just... chef's kiss! We're just going to say it - Christian Bale is our favorite Laurie, sorry Timothée! And speaking of Winona, this just so happens to be the Seventh (!) Wino movie featured on MTMUG! We start the episode with a quiz on Winona classics then go over the idea of the March families "genteel poverty", Amy's aging from one actress to another and how we all wanted to live in ye olde olden days when we were kids. We love porcelain dolls and ribbon curls but we'll take our electric flat iron over molten hot cast iron any day.
