Em Marinelli Joins Erin Prather Stafford on The Girls That Create Podcast

This week, Girls That Create host Erin Prather Stafford welcomes psychotherapist, professor and writer Emily (Em) Marinelli. Marinelli is the author of the new book Comfort Sequels: The Psychology of Movie Sequels from the 80s and 90s. In it, they use their personal favorite movie sequels as anchor points to tell stories of their childhood and explore trauma healing through film. Comfort Sequels examines the psychology behind what makes certain movie sequels memorable, safe, predictable, and comforting. These sequels are more of the universe we love—exploring something new while maintaining that which is familiar. Marinelli interprets characters, story arcs, and major themes in a unique voice from a unique perspective while sharing fun and random behind-the-scenes facts about each film.
