The document outlines Danielle Wood's plans for a podcast reviewing films and related topics like genres, actors/actresses, and how these factors affect films. It includes a questionnaire, lists of the respondent's top/least favorite films, actors/actresses, and genres. The results found that genre has a greater influence on whether a film is favored over who stars in it. Most popular genres align with the top favorite films. The conclusion is that genre affects a film being a favorite more than the actors/actresses.
