Emma of the Impact Film PodcastKind Hearts and CoronetsI'm joined by my friend Harry Marks; we're sharpening our arrows and polishing our family crests as we dive into Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), a comedy as refined as it is ruthless. Directed by Robert Hamer and starring Alec Guinness as eight doomed aristocrats.
We also discuss the Marx Brothers and the rhythm of comedy. Does Kind Hearts and Coronets break that rhythm for its own level of wit, or is it so dry you forgot to laugh?
Is it a biting satire of class and cruelty...

Emma of the Impact Film PodcastShockOn this episode, where celluloid gets under your skin and the strange becomes sublime. I'm joined by my friend Davis, who is as obsessed with Italian film copyright as I am.
We’re diving deep into the eerie, atmospheric catalogue of Mario Bava Italy’s master of camera movement, projectors, and stylish dread. We chat about his final film: Shock (1977). Released in the twilight of his career and co-directed with his son Lamberto Bava, Shock is a haunting fusion of psychological horror and supernatural terror, with a side of domestic decay and one seriously creepy kid.

Emma of the Impact Film PodcastShiver Of The VampiresWelcome to the Emma of the Impact the Film Podcast, a podcast that Bites Back! Slowly.
In this episode, my old pal Mark Mallman and I discuss Shiver of the Vampires. This is Jean Rollin’s psychedelic 1971 vague, gothic dream, where every castle corridor echoes with color and surreal sensuality.
But this episode isn’t just about erotic vampires and avant-garde projectors. Together, we unravel not just the film’s hypnotic aesthetic and cult appeal, but also dive into what it means to be an artist on your o...

Emma of the Impact Film PodcastShin GodzillaThis episode we are coming at ya strong with Shin Godzilla (2016), the bold, brilliant reinvention of the legendary monster directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi.
My guest Josh Levesque, a fellow film enthusiast who brings sharp analysis to everything from horror to political satire. Together, we’re unpacking the evolution of Godzilla as a symbol—from nuclear terror to government inaction.
We’ll talk grotesque transformation, bureaucratic horror, and what makes this iteration of Godzilla one of the most unsettling and unforgettable.

Emma of the Impact Film PodcastHis Motorbike, Her IslandThis episode's film is His Motorbike, Her Island, directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi and released in 1986 — a story about love, freedom, and that delicate moment when two people meet at the intersection of adventure and vulnerability. It’s a movie that feels like summer wind: swift, free, and a little bit bittersweet. Marta was the best person to discuss this movie; she is someone who has a gift for finding the heart in every story.

This film is genre-defying in the sense of visuals: it is a chaotic, and deeply emotional journey that pushes the limits of animation. We explore the difference between plot and narrative, gender roles, and the existential themes expressed visually.
