This week on After the Frame, we dive into Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights (2026) — a bold retelling that looks stunning, feels soaked in atmosphere, and swings hard for gothic intensity. For a lot of its runtime, it’s gripping in that “can’t look away” way… and then the final stretch gets shaky.

We break down what worked and what didn’t: the film’s striking visual language, the heavy tone, and the clear directorial point of view, alongside a third act that struggles to stick the emotional landing. We talk about what the movie is trying to say about obsession and cruelty, where the storytelling pulls its punches, and why it ends up being more compelling in pieces than as a whole.

If you’re into messy romance, bleak vibes, and ambitious adaptations that spark debate, this one’s for you.

This week on After the Frame, we’re keeping it loose - breaking down the latest entertainment headlines, arguing over our favorite topics, and letting the takes fly.

We start with quick reactions to what’s happening in movies and pop culture right now, then jump into a few games that instantly spiral into debate. From guessing lists to ranking on the fly to “winner stays on” chaos, it’s competitive, ridiculous, and way more heated than it should be.

We close out with a round of hot takes - the kind that either look genius in six months or get us dragged online by tomorrow.

Sam Raimi kicks off 2026 with Send Help a movie that somehow mashes up survival thriller tension with workplace comedy chaos, and actually makes it work. It’s fast, funny, sharp, and packed with the kind of horror-comedy-suspense blend that feels unmistakably Raimi.

In this episode of After the Frame, we break down what worked and what didn’t: the smart setup, the instantly punchy character dynamic, the way the film slowly shifts empathy and power between its leads, and why Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien make the premise feel grounded instead of gimmicky. We also talk about the rough CGI moments, what makes this stand out from typical deserted-island stories, and why getting a crowd-pleaser like this this early in the year feels like a gift.

Whether you’re looking for a date-night movie, a friends-night-out pick, or just a fun ride at the theater this one’s worth the ticket.
