About this listen

Hello, Hello!


In this episode, Emma Parks joins us to "Clear the Set" where she shares her top three films including Almost Famous, Good Will Hunting, and The Way Way Back. The conversation reveals her embarrassing admission of never having seen The Godfather despite watching an entire TV series about its making. Emma also discusses her complicated relationship with Coraline, which terrified her as a child but she recently rewatched and appreciated as an adult.


We also talk about:

• The psychology of watchlists and why putting movies on them means you'll never watch them

• The importance of buying physical media to fully appreciate classic films through extras and commentary

• Emma's elaborate cheat day eating patterns that cycle between savory and sweet foods

• Hidden design elements in famous logos like FedEx, Baskin-Robbins, and Wendy's

• Career comparisons between soccer legend Mia Hamm and actress Sydney Sweeney
