We're home!! This week we conclude our double feature surrounding the lives of sex workers in cinema. We discuss Sean Baker's Palm d'Or winning screwball dramedy that also went on to win five Oscars including Best Actress for its star, Mikey Madison, and Baker every award he was personally nominated for. We're talking Anora (2024).
We also discuss some great films we watched during our accidental hiatus as well as what is coming to the Criterion Collection in December 2025 & the Criterion Channel in October 2025.
