39 min - Nicole Parker | Strong Female Leads
Nicole Parker (The Neighborhood Listen, Wicked, MADtv) is someone who has me in tears laughing every time I watch or listen to her, and her singing is otherworldly. We discuss fake facial hair, the thrill of seeing a musical, and my favorite podcast neighborhood, Dignity Falls. When we get into the celebrities she is best known for impersonating, Nicole shares how her view on impressions has evolved and reflects on the regret she feels regarding her sketches as Britney Spears in particular.
If anyone has a time machine, I would truly like to book it to see Nicole in Funny Girl. Please and thank you.

About Tasteless
From the publisher's feed
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.
