About this listen
In this episode of 'Adaptation: The Book to Movie Podcast,' Nate and Chris break down the famed novel 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Brontë as well as its film adaptations, in particular, the 2026 film written and directed by Emerald Fennell.
In their discussion, they cover the history behind the book and the reasons it has been deeply misunderstood over the nearly 200 years since its publication, all culminating in an unfortunate (and perhaps misguided) hate campaign via social media by fans of the source material.
