A podcast focused on all things cinematic
Emmanuelle Perryman (that’s me) is the host and producer of The Reel Woman: A podcast about all things cinematic. I earned a degree in Cinema Studies from The City College of New York and have spent the last 20 years working in a variety of film-related jobs in New York, Los Angeles, and Detroit. I’ve taught film to both adults and school-age children, interned at the Cannes and Sundance Film Festivals as well as in the Film Department of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Over the years I have gained many friends and acquaintances who are involved, in various ways, in film, music, fashion, academia, and politics. I’am thrilled now to have them join me as guests on my podcast to discuss our shared love of movies and talk about the ones that have inspired and influenced them.
After a longer than expected hiatus, The Reel Woman is back with the always lovely Dr. Victoria Amador. Victoria has returned to talk about the biography she has written about the great Classic Hollywood actress Dame Olivia de Havilland.

Dr. Victoria Amador is a British and American Gothic film and literature scholar, who has published numerous articles on the gothic in film and literature. She is the author of The Gothic Portal: An Online Resource for Academics and Aficionados of Gothic Cultural Productions From 1976-2008. In this episode, we discuss the character of the female vampire in cinema. Our focus is on four female-centric vampire films. Dracula's Daughter (1936), The Vampire Lovers (1970), Only Lovers Left Alive (2013), and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014).
