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.
Former high-school film teacher (and my cousin) Nate Duell and I discuss the 1937 Fritz Lang film You Only Live Once starring Henry Fonda and Sylvia Sydney. We explore its place in film history as an influential forerunner to the Film Noir genre and style.
Jerry Carlson was my first film professor at the City College of New York. A mentor and friend he is an encyclopedia of film knowledge. I was thrilled to finally have him on the show to discuss one of my favorite genres - Film Noir. Our discussion covers not just the classic Film Noir movies but the history of Film Noir as a genre and a technique.
