Bleak House, Pt. 1

Ben, Gemma, and Other Ben (Gullard, if you were wondering), begin Bleak House this month. This episode tackles chapters 1-16, in which they discuss Esther Summerson's personality, Ada's lack of one, and all the best secondary characters. Ben discovers Charles Dickens is great at roasting rich people, and Gemma pitches a terrible modern adaptation about patent trolls and app lawsuits.
