The listeners spoke and you wanted Kristen and Emily on the Moors to talk about Heathcliff, Cathy, and 1939's Wuthering Heights. But we couldn't just talk about the movie and Emily Bronte. We needed a Bronte expert. And who better to join us as a guest than the director of the Emily Bronte biopic Emily: Frances O'Connor! O'Connor, Kristen and Emily discuss Bronte's life, whether Heathcliff was a person of color, and why we love this petty story (and why Emily doesn't love it). Emily also has a bittersweet announcement to make this episode. Next Time: We're honoring the life and career of Diane Keaton with a discussion on 1987's Baby Boom.

Emily and Kristen wanted to do a makeshift Flop-uary and we're doing so by watching what many consider the worst Best Picture winner ever: 1967's Doctor Dolittle. Emily and Kristen break down how the movie got made (blame My Fair Lady), Rex Harrison's talk singing, and the host of issues that made this another expensive disaster for 20th Century Fox. We ran into some issues, technical and personal, with this one. Our original guest Nathan Rabin wasn't able to join us after we had to rerecord but we'd love for you to buy his new book The Fractured Mirror. And apologies for getting this out late.
