| 0:00.0 | Right, that's it. Come on. Lights out. You've got a test tomorrow. Just two minutes. I'm about to reach the next level. It's going off now. Yeah, whatever. Let's see. Where's the app? Oh, here it is. What? How? Oh, no. You're out. Better look next time. Mom! It's game over for late nights on school nights. EE Wi-Fi controls help you get them off the Wi-Fi and into bed. |

| 0:27.6 | To verify I see E.e.com. |
| 0:28.6 | There once was a woman who lived in a shoe. A size too snug, but what could she do? |
| 0:35.6 | But that's not where her story ends. Thanks to a little help from her Experian friends, |
| 0:40.3 | she got her score into much better shape |
| 0:43.3 | and relocated to a box fresh new place, |
| 0:45.3 | with room to grow and a mortgage to suit. |

| 0:52.3 | Better your Experian credit score to help get mortgage ready. |
| 0:56.0 | Experian. Better your score. Better your story. |
| 1:00.0 | So Hollywood might just have ruined yet another piece of famous literature. |
| 1:04.0 | And between alleged race swapping and a fair rage baiting and out of touch promos and a porn-brained director, |
| 1:09.0 | those are my words, it seems like nobody online is happy with the new Wuthering Heights, possibly not even the star Jacob Allorty. |
| 1:19.6 | For the context here is that Margo Robbie and her production company are about to release their adaptation of Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights. And the internet, needless to say, has a lot of concerns. Now, I remember back when this was first announced when they talked about the casting, when they talked about who was going to be doing the music. FYI, that is Charlie X-E-X, which just seems criminal. That is criminal that that is news doing the music. Anyway, even back before the cameras started rolling, people were not thrilled about this adaptation. |
| 1:44.5 | Because first and foremost, like everything I just said without even seeing the film, |
| 1:47.6 | they just do not think that this version, this take on the story, is respectful, is accurate, is intelligent in the slightest. |
| 1:54.0 | They just believe it is an absolute outcry. |
| 1:56.2 | And one commenter on X put it so eloquently and said, |
| 1:58.8 | This is Wine Mom Porn Slop. It is essentially a darker Bridgerton, maybe even a 50 Shades of Grey, but like the Victorian Gothic edition. That is what we are dealing with here. And I have to be real here because I would love to sit here and be like, I just love Wuthering Heights so much. I need to defend this novel. I care so deeply about this. But honestly, up until now, I really have not paid this film much attention because out of all the big Gothic Victorian novels, Wuthering Heights, was never my favorite. It actually might be the least favorite that I was ever assigned in school that I ever just decided to read on my own. Like I have read Jane Eyre, for example, about ten times I chose to write essays on it in college, I picked classes based on whether I could read it again. Like I, it's just incredible. And Jane Eyre was written by Emily Bronte's sister Charlotte, but reading Wuthering Heights is a completely different experience for me. Like that was a slog. It was painful to finish. I just did not love it. So going back a year and a half when the internet first started talking about this, like the new adaptation did nothing for me was not impacted obviously a great piece of literature being decimated by Hollywood. Nobody likes that. But I just really didn't care. Until this week. Until I started to notice how they were going about this press tour for the wine mom ford slot movie. How odd and obsessive the behaviors of the actors were and how it's stranger, because of who Margo Robbie's husband is. |
| 3:08.4 | Now, before we get into all of this, two housekeeping things. Number one, I still have my show on March 1st at Zanies here in Nashville. The one that was going to be tomorrow was unfortunately canceled because I am still iced in. So if you got tickets for that, we will be resetting that date. Do not worry, but I will be at Zanies on March 1st. |
