Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Talking Melodrama with Millie De Chirico
Q: What made you start using the word melodrama?
The term was internalized from watching soap operas with my mother, where it was often used pejoratively, prompting my interest in the broader implications of melodrama in film.
Talking Melodrama with Millie De Chirico
Q: What is your view of melodrama and how do you come to the conclusion that a film is a melodrama?
Melodrama involves a feminized aspect that connects emotional struggles, particularly women's fears of loss. This allows films from various genres, including horror, to be recognized as melodramatic.
Corpses Fools and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema co-author Willow Catelyn Maclay
Q: How do you view the relationship between social media and trans representation?
Social media has made it more likely for people to have contact with trans individuals and influences how transness operates on screen.
Corpses Fools and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema co-author Willow Catelyn Maclay
Q: What was the genesis of your project?
The genesis was a series of transcribed conversations called Body Talk where we aimed to centralize the trans voice in film criticism.
Robert Dance, Author of Ferocious Ambition: Joan Crawford's March Towards Stardom
Q: What is the biggest surprise you got writing this book?
Dance was surprised to discover that virtually every one of Crawford's films made money, which is often not the case for many actresses.
