Just a 22-year-old girl from Canada who nerds out about things. Feel free to ask away.

Could anyone join Star Wars Connection?

Hey anon!

Unfortunately, Star Wars Connection is not an ongoing project anymore: we have separated to continue on projects of our own. There’s me, IrinaMedia, there’s Lords of the Sith as well as Six Degrees of Kylo Ren. I decided not to do Star Wars only, but the two other podcast groups are all about Star Wars. :) 

However, nothing is stopping you from starting a podcast of your own, with friends! It’s really not that hard - unless you’re like me and that you’re a preparation freak, lol. As long as you have a topic, a good mic and decent enough editing skills (Audacity is a great audio edit software that’s totally free), you’re good to go. :)

Today’s episode is the first in a series titled “Austen Adaptation Autopsy”. In this series, the various adaptations of the six major Austen works are analyzed, from the point of view of overall quality versus faithfulness to the original novel. 

We start with a two-part for Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s most famous work: the first half pays attention to the 1940 MGM film, directed by Robert Z. Leonard, with Golden Hollywood legends  Greer Garson and Sir Laurence Oliver. Next is the 1980 BBC miniseries, with Elizabeth Garvie and David Rintoul. And of course, the last one is the beloved 1995 miniseries, with a screenplay by Andrew Davies, starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth.

The interview with Marsha Hunt (Mary), Ann Rutherford (Lydia) and Karen Morley (Charlotte Lucas) mentioned in the podcast can be found here.

Today’s episode is about a video game series which came out 15 years ago, Knights of the Old Republic. This is a literary analysis about the main themes in the game, the character arcs, and the callbacks, all the while showing why Knights of the Old Republic is one of the best (to not say the best) Star Wars stories ever told. SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED. 

To skip sensitive topic discussion, go to 42:59. 

My video about parallels between Revan and Bastila and Rey and Kylo Ren (for Star Wars Connection) can be found here:

The video (by SithReign) summing up Revan and Bastila’s story (as well as the background for KOTOR) can be found here:

In this very first episode, I’ll be giving a retrospective on the 2017 Beauty and the Beast live-action film, directed by Bill Condon, and starring Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as the Beast, and Luke Evans as Gaston - all the while giving my point of view as a fan of the original animated feature, as a former French literature student (a girl’s gotta eat so I went into Translation instead), and as a history/historical costume nerd. 

Spoiler: I don’t like this movie very much.

IT’S FINALLY HERE! 

So on this good day, I’m proudly announcing I’m starting my own Youtube podcast channel! Link to the very first podcast will be provided soon, as the video will be uploaded tomorrow at the latest! What will it be about? It’s a secret, but you’ll know really soon! 

IrinaMedia is a solo podcast by myself, Irina, 22-year-old nerd from Canada. What is it about? Movies, TV shows, books, pretty much anything that interests me. Coming up are episodes about Star Wars, Jane Austen, Beauty and the Beast, and many more! 

Podcasts will be available on Youtube, as well as SoundCloud. A Twitter is on its way! In the meantime, here are a few useful links. Subscribing is appreciated, and if you could reblog this post, it would be really nice too!
