    Emerald Fennell's "Wuthering Heights"

    Emily Brontë's wild and strange novel, Wuthering Heights, is widely considered a classic in English literature. This week, we explore the latest, controversial adaptation of the novel, 2026's "Wuthering Heights" directed by British filmmaker, Emerald Fennell.  Together with Victorian literature professor Catherine Robson, we dive into what we think the film got right, what's missing (spoiler: a lot), and whether it's even possible to adapt Brontë's complex masterpiece.
