In this episode of Swoon-Worthy, we dive into Emerald Fennell’s latest theatrical release, Wuthering Heights — and we don’t hold back. From the curious creative choices to the moments that genuinely worked, we unpack it all. We talk about the bold costuming and hairstyles, elaborate set and production design, and all the ways Fennell’s signature style shows up in this adaptation. And yes — we get into the very controversial casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff and Margot Robbie as Cathy, choices that sparked debate long before the film even premiered.

We also get into the fun stuff: who we would cast, other adaptations, and the changes we think could have strengthened this latest version. Along the way, we reflect on our own relationships with Emily Brontë’s novel — from lifelong devotion to high‑school memories to experiencing the story for the very first time. (Spoiler: the first‑timer liked the movie more than the book lovers did.)

Whether you’re a Brontë purist, a Fennell fan, or just here for a movie review, this episode is a lively, honest, and deeply entertaining look at a beloved classic reimagined.
