Emma Badame
Managing Editor / Social Media Director
Emma is a Grade A, Hermione Granger-level pop culture nerd. Aside from garnering her a one-time win on Jeopardy!, she's also parlayed that passion into a career, interviewing everyone from Emma Thompson and Benedict Cumberbatch to Yorgos Lanthimos and Robert Eggers. Emma has attended/produced extensive coverage of TIFF, Comic-Con, and D23 and her work has been featured on/in Billboard, eTalk, The Mary Sue, Cineplex Magazine, Smart Entertainment, MuchMusic, CTV's PopLife, CityTV's Breakfast Television, The Canadian Press and more. She has also recently become a film programmer with the Rendezvous With Madness Film Festival. If she's not watching movies or TV, she's probably planning yet another trip to London or perfecting her GIF game on Twitter.Articles by Emma Badame:
