For our Season 4 premiere, we experienced Wuthering Heights for the very first time—both the book and three different screen adaptations. Each host claimed a different era of the moors—Crystal with the 1939 film, Lindsey with the 1998 adaptation, and Keri with the 2009 BBC miniseries—to see how Emily Brontë’s famously obsessive and unforgiving story has been translated across generations.

Hosted by Crystal with co-hosts Keri and Lindsey.

Books & Adaptations Mentioned: 

• Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
• Wuthering Heights (1939 Film)
• Wuthering Heights (1998 TV Movie)
• Wuthering Heights (2009 TV Mini Series)
