Othersode #116: The Most Romantic Podcast Ever Told / Wuthering Heights (2026)
Listen to everyone try to stay calm as they talk about Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Because this movie is oh so romantic, this is a double datepisode! Emily and Kelli are joined by their partners, Ben and Ang, to discuss Sex Fantasy with Jacob Elordi—er, wait, that’s Ben’s alternate title idea. The couples talk about the rules for book-to-movie adaptations, the big changes between book and film, people of color in the movie, Charli XCX and the soundtrack, and their personal connections to Wuthering Heights. Read along for our next Bookpisode on Swallows by Natsuo Kirino on March 8th! Then join us on March 30th for an Othersode about Stand By Me, featuring special guest Catriona Ward, author of the new novel Nowhere Burning!
