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.
