Show Notes
We watched Wuthering Heights… and it emotionally destroyed us. What started as a casual movie night quickly turned into a spiral about heartbreak, toxic love, and abandonment. Stas and Vic unpack the movie, the red flags we ignore when we’re in love, and why some relationships feel like they ruin you in the best and worst ways. They talk past relationships, breakup grief, and whether soulmates are real - or just really intense trauma bonds.

More from Better Half with Stas & Vic
With Halloween right around the corner, we’re taking a trip down memory lane and revisiting some of our most iconic costumes over the years. From the looks we loved to the ones we might regret, we’re spilling the untold stories behind them, how much we actually spent on glam, and everything that went into bringing these looks to life. Because as much as we love a good Halloween costume, sometimes the chaos is even better than the final look.
Welcome back to a very haunted edition of Baddie 2 Baddie. In honor of Halloween, we asked you guys to call in with your scariest stories - from real ghost encounters and things you still can’t explain to dates so terrifying they might as well be paranormal. We’re listening to your calls, sharing our own thoughts, and deciding what’s scarier: the supernatural or the men you’ve dated. Turn the lights off, pour yourself a drink, and prepare to be sufficiently spooked.
You asked, we answered… without knowing what the other person was going to ask. This week, we let you guys submit the questions and blindly asked each other everything from first kisses and our biggest icks to whether we’ve ever liked the same guy and what we’d assume the other did if they got arrested tonight. Basically, no topic was off limits and some of your questions really got us thinking.
Better Half is officially coming home with you! This week, we’re finally revealing our Wildflower x Better Half phone case collection! We’re taking you behind the scenes of the collab — from designing the cases and seeing them in person for the first time to why we chose skulls… click the link below to shop. x
New York Fashion Week, but make it Better Half.
