It's finally time... The podcast is discussing another 2026 release with the highly controversial "Wuthering Heights" directed by Emerald Fennell and starring Margot Robbie and Jacobi Elordi that came out on Valentine's Day.

Sound bite from the episode: "So that was a thing we watched..."

In this episode the podcast welcomes back returning guest, Dr. Brian Hicks who specializes in Bronte literature. Brian and Stephanie give their uncensored review of the film and discuss how much it differs from the book, the parts that were uncomfortable and made no sense, as well as what they would like to see in a Wuthering Heights film. Brian also pitches at least three different film concepts.

Beware of book and film spoilers and enjoy hearing two people rant after just watching the film a few hours before recording!
