0:00.0	Hello, everyone and welcome to the film cast, a podcast about movies.
0:23.4	I'm David Chen and remind me never to approach you guys when you're leaning up against the large rock on the beach.
0:29.8	Joining me today is Dimmin your Hardwar.
0:32.3	I can't wait until somebody adapts Wuthering Heights without quotes.
0:36.4	And Jeff Kanata.
0:38.0	I, on the other hand, hope this catches on because I want to see parentheses, pride and prejudice, asterisk, Jane Eyre, and bracketed great expectations.
0:51.6	Those are, of course, all vague and oblique references to the fact that today on the podcast
0:55.7	we're going to be reviewing Emerald Fennell's new film quote unquote Wuthering Heights
1:02.4	which Fennell herself and the studio have asked people to style as Wuthering Heights with

1:37.4	Like as opposed to the book or other stuff like that.
1:40.6	Anyway, today on the podcast, we got some feedback in reaction to our last
1:47.9	couple weeks episodes of podcasts. We got some film news to discuss some really existential stuff
1:53.3	going on in Hollywood that's worth mentioning. Before we get to some what we've been watching,
1:59.0	guys, I saw three movies in theaters this last week, including Wuthering Heights, which is
2:05.2	humble brag.
2:06.1	Yeah.
2:07.2	Feel great about it.
2:08.7	Feel excited about talking about some of those movies I saw.
2:11.2	And then some weekly plugs before we get to quote unquote Wuthering Heights.
