EMMA K is the host of the Reformed Rakes podcast, and this was a hoot!! She is incredibly smart. I was dying laughing listening back to the episode of her saying something very smart for 20 minutes and then me being like "heh". Super duper fun!! Also very good movies. I'm being serious out there ladies if you like Timothy Spall in this. I got plenty of those guys for you to pick from.
