    A Brutally Honest Review Of Wuthering Heights

    We’re diving headfirst into Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights — a movie that’s as stylish and visually wild as it is divisive. And yes, our hosts have thoughts… plenty of them.We unpack the twisted romance of Cathy and Heathcliff, Emerald’s bold (and sometimes baffling) costume choices, and the way the movie navigates sex, consent, and obsession. Plus, we discuss how some characters get a total makeover from the book — and how that changes the story entirely.From moments that made us gasp, to scenes that left us questioning “what did I just watch?” — we cover it all. Strap in for our brutally honest review of the movie that dares to turn a classic gothic tale into a TikTok-ready romance.Read the article we mentioned about Heathcliff's character being white washed here.  Plus, check out Laura's review of the film here.  THE END BITS Love binge-watching TV? The Spill has launched Watch Party — spoiler-filled episode deep dives into the shows everyone’s talking about.

    Weekend Watch: An Erotic Mystery & The Series That'll Make You Call Your Bestie

    Time to dive into a mix of toxic romances, grocery store mysteries, and the ultimate tribute to lifelong female friendship.First, we’re checking in on the Tell Me Lies fandom, which is currently "going through it" after its shock cancellation. With all three seasons now available on Disney+, we discuss why this collegiate drama is the perfect, albeit triggering, binge for anyone who loves a messy, narcissistic romance.Then, things get steamy and suspicious with a new erotic mystery thriller on Amazon Prime. Based on a best-selling novel, this eight-episode series follows a couple who meet at a supermarket (suspicious!) and stars Dove Cameron and Avan Jogier. It’s the perfect blend of grizzly murder and high-intensity chemistry.Finally, we head to Northern Ireland for the new caper from the creator of Derry Girls. It’s a hilarious, fast-paced love letter to millennials that will make you want to call your mates immediately.Plus, a little PSA: Our Brutally Honest Review of Wuthering Heights is dropping in the feed this afternoon at 3pm.
