Two friends wearing orange hoodies spend a Friday night do their best to wuther the heights, i.e. talk about the first half of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. This is the backwards episode because they do that first, THEN they shoot the shit and discuss miscellaneous things like: plains verses mountains, super smellers, and what settings are perfect for horror movies. If you, too, enjoy Wuthering Heights in the same way you enjoy reality TV, you'll vibe with this fun ep.
SHOW NOTES:
In the book, Catherine says to Nelly: “But I begin to fancy you don't like me. How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me.
Here’s the quote where they wax ecstatic about crocuses/spring: “'These are the earliest flowers at the Heights,' she exclaimed. 'They remind me of soft thaw winds, and warm sunshine, and nearly melted snow. Edgar, is there not a south wind, and is not the snow almost gone?'
'The snow is quite gone down here, darling,' replied her husband; 'and I only see two white spots on the whole range of moors: the sky is blue, and the larks are singing, and the becks and brooks are all brim full. Catherine, last spring at this time, I was longing to have you under this roof; now, I wish you were a mile or two up those hills: the air blows so sweetly, I feel that it would cure you.'”
