Writer director Emerald Fennell makes movies that drive the discourse, promising young woman saltburn and now, quote, Wuthering Heights, unquote.

Those quotation marks are part of it.

This time out, she's tackling a beloved classic with a cast led by young Hollywood royalty.

Margot Robbie is Kathy, headstrong, impulsive, and horny. Jacob Allorty is

Heathcliff, dark, brooding, and horny. Their love on the wild, wind-swept moors is passionate

and doomed and as adapted by finale. Pretty bonkers. I'm Linda Holmes. And I'm Glenn Weldon,

and today we're talking about Wuthering Heights on Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.

Joining us today is Barry Hardiman. She's a senior editor for NPR's investigations team. Welcome back, Barry.

Hi. Great to have you for this. Also with this is Soraya Nadia McDonald. She's a cultural critic, journalist, and the senior criticism editor for the Rumpus. Hello, Soraya. Hello, hello. All right, let's get into it. This will be a fun one to get into. Emily Bronte's only novel has been adapted many, many times. This time out, Reddit director Emerald Fennell is steering us into the lush fever dream of it all. Kathy is an impetuous young woman who lives in a decaying manor house. She's played as an adult by Margot Robbie. One day her father brings home a young brooding urchin whom Kathy adopts as her plaything at first. That's Heathcliff, played as an adult by Jacob and Lourty. Look, you know the plot. The two young people love and hate each other, separated by class and by Kathy's ambitions, and by Heathcliff's seething jealousy.

They treat each other horribly until they start treating each other very, very well in a fun, sexy way.

But society, in the form of Kathy's marriage to a wealthy neighbor, intervenes.

There's love and lust, hatred and revenge, and lots of lusty looks in the soaking rain.

The whole factory-installed Gothic bundle, really.

Wuthering Heights is in theaters now.

Linda, kick us off.
