Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s novel ‘Wuthering Heights’ was making headlines long before it actually hit theatres last week. Two issues have drawn attention: the casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, and a necklace worn by Margot Robbie at a premiere event. This is a story that stretches from 17th century India, to the transatlantic slave trade, to the Yorkshire moors in the 1800s, to a Hollywood premiere for a film starring two Australians. Let’s unpack! 

Hosts: Lucy Tassell and Emma Gillespie
