Stay ConnectedA movie podcast that compares the critically acclaimed to the criminally overlooked.
Tasteless pays tribute to the films not enough people are talking about, from the underrated to the absurd. In each episode, Emily Higgins takes a highly regarded film and compares it to movie she believes has the same themes.
The bonus series called Strong Female Leads features interviews with the actresses and creators who have inspired this podcast with their work, both on-screen and off.
Emmanuelle Vaugier (Lost Girl, Saw 2, Two and a Half Men) plays my favorite type of villain but is basically a saint. She discusses bringing humanity to the more chaotic characters she plays and what she loves about making Christmas movies along with sharing the very sweet story of adopting one of her dogs.
Emmanuelle has such talent, from her delivery to her physicality to her voice, so I reveled in the chance to discover how she layers such heart into her characters, but we also dove deep on important personal matters, like why only OTHER kids had trampolines growing up.
