Episode description

You may have heard something about Mikey Madison’s shining, star-making performance as Anora? Or perhaps that Sean Baker made Oscar-history by winning four awards at this year's ceremony for said film? Well if you haven’t seen it yet, now is the moment, it’s back in cinemas and will soon be available on streaming.

This week we discuss what makes the story so kinetic, shooting on film with a tiny budget and that intimacy coordinator controversy.
