S3 Episode 67 - A Wrap-Up Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

Well, we did it. We read every page - nay, every word - of this classic American novel. Now a summary episode to figure out what the hell it is that we read. Would love to hear your opinions as Michael shares his own. Regardless, we will take a little break before Season 4. Enjoy your vacation, class.

We're in Dublin for the final episode of the reading of Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff seems to be longing for death. In his case, though, it seems like Heathcliff may get his wish. As for Cathy and Hareton, they're on their way to Happy Town, as is your host, who took some edibles before beginning this recording.

The penultimate episode of Wuthering Heights is, at last, upon us. Lest you think the book will end without fireworks, think again! Some currant shrubs ignite the fuse and ka-bam!

S3 Episode 64 - When I Call You Stupid, I Don't Mean Anything Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

Cathy Jr. is hard at work making amends with her stupid cousin Hareton. But don't worry, she doesn't mean anything by calling him so. Will Hareton forgive his cousin? Can two first cousins find their way together in this crazy world? Hard to say, but we all like happy endings, don't we? Well, don't we???

S3 Episode 63 - What the Hell Are We Doing Here? Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

Your host arrives in Italy with one question.

As for Heathcliff & Co., things are shaking up and shaking out as we zip towards the conclusion of Season 3. Some big changes at Wuthering Heights, all of them in this host's view, a little too convenient.

S3 Episode 62 - Arrivederci Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

The New World gives way to the Old as your host gears up for his extended sojourn to Italia. Some advice: if you're feeling depressed/anxious, best thing to do is to totally upend your life. Chaos almost surely cures chaos. Right? Also, those jerks over at Wuthering Heights are still on their crap.

S3 Episode 61 - Aspects of Abstracted Silence Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

Well, another moody week on the moors. Your host finds himself essentially incapacitated by depression and those dickheads over at Wuthering Heights aren't much helping matters.

S3 Episode 60 - Zillah, What a Pillah Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

If you were wondering if Zillah sucks - she does. More misdeeds, more corruption, and malevolence. Only Cathy Jr. retains her humanity in this morass. And maybe say your goodbyes to Linton while you still can, the schmuck.

S3 Episode 59 - Like Being Colorblind Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

Everything's a bummer. Michael's a bummer. Here's the quote from which the title derives: "Depression is being colorblind and constantly told how colorful the world is.”

S3 Episode 58 - Up, Up, and Away Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

We’re shooting down stuff faster than the aliens can send it up there. Michael briefly recaps the airborne events of the previous week and then, at long last, somebody dies in the great American novel, “Wuthering Heights”
