Could you tell me how your favorite film tastes? This week we talk with Emily Neff who makes custom ice cream flavors in Paris about making a flavor for the beach films of Éric Rohmer. Emily unpacks the allure of these films as summertime staples of French cinematic culture while Manon Kerjean and ARBL Murray (Alex Brook Lynn)ask questions trying to get to the heart of what these movies taste like as ice cream.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
