Four Favorites with Selome Hailu: Holes, Emile Mosseri, Roe v. Wade and Gemini season

Variety reporter and Austin native Selome Hailu joins hosts Gemma and Slim to discuss why her Letterboxd profile is only for people who support Holes being her number one movie, and to celebrate the finer points of her other favorite films: The Last Black Man in San Francisco, The Young Girls of Rochefort and Saint Frances.

Plus: the perfect rating, the need for a five-star-plus-“unlike” emoji on Letterboxd, Emile Mosseri’s transcendent soundtracks, Gemma’s defense of Geminis, Slim’s religious experience with Last Black Man’s skateboarding scenes, the urgent conversation around incarceration that Holes brings up, the costuming power of the pleat, building community, choosing joy, spending time with those you love, the weird dualities of life, breaking the cinephile bubble, meeting Magic Johnson, and a little chat about Selome’s rating for Babe: Pig in the City.
