Screwin' it and doin' it

Truths Universally Acknowledged

Emma and Molly recap this week's episode of NBC's new reality dating show, The Courtship! In this episode, we lament the fall of a himbo, gloss over the rules of cricket, and shed a few tears over one suitor's departure. Other topics of interest: tragic backstories, Colin Bridgerton, Frankenstein-based dating, Romantic poetry, the unbearable whiteness of romance heroes, Ketanji Brown Jackson, single dads, 19th century immigration bans, and whether we're being set up for a major dose of drama next week. If the audio occasionally sounds like it’s coming to you through a broken phonograph, it's because we had some more mic issues, but next week the problem should be fixed.
