Ep. 39 Wuthering Heights
-

This week on Shallow Podcast, we’re diving into Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights and the cultural storm surrounding it.
From the casting debate and costume choices to the online backlash and endless think pieces, the loudest criticism has been the same: “It’s not like the book.”
But is that actually the problem?
Do adaptations need to be faithful to be successful? Or is this really about who gets to reinterpret classic literature in 2026?
We break down what changed from Emily Brontë’s original novel, whether the core themes still hold, the Heathcliff race discourse, the performances, the aesthetics, and whether this backlash is really that deep.
Let's dive in.
