On today's episode, we're talking with Emily Marinelli, author of the new book, Comfort Sequels: The Psychology of Movie Sequels from the 80s and 90s. We talk about what inspired Emily to write this book in the first place, her undying love for Grease 2, and her fascination with all things sequels from the 80s and 90s. This was a super fun chat, and I hope you enjoy our conversation.----Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan Boyle----Show E-Mail:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:cultcinemacircle@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cultcinemacircle@gmail.com</a>----Pick Up Emily's Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Comfort-Sequels-Psychology-Movie-80s/dp/1949024687" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amazon</a> or <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/comfort-sequels-emily-marinelli/1143691244" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barnes and Noble</a>Follow Emily on <a href="https://instagram.com/emsmarinelli" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>Follow Cult Cinema Circle on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.instagram.com/cultcinemacircle" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/cultcinemacircle.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.letterboxd.com/jessekremp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Letterboxd</a>----Follow Pacific and Court on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pacificandcourt/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>Follow Fayetteville Mafia Press on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fayettevillemafiapress/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> <hr> Hosted on Acast.
