About Tasteless

A movie podcast that compares the critically acclaimed to the criminally overlooked. Tasteless pays tribute to the films not enough people are talking about, from the underrated to the absurd. In each episode, Emily Higgins takes a highly regarded film and compares it to movie she believes has the same themes. The bonus series called Strong Female Leads features interviews with the actresses and creators who have inspired this podcast with their work, both on-screen and off.
