Oscars Season 2025: Anora | Pop This! Episode 445

Update: 2025-01-22

Description

Summary

"I'm not being paid enough for this." This week we dive headfirst into Oscars season with a film that has elements of both romance and comedy but is definitely not a rom-com: Anora. Also discussed: the feasibility of watching movies and TV in this day and age without looking up anything on our phones.

Show notes:

Heaux Joy: I'm a sex worker. Anora is one of the few movies about my profession that doesn't make me cringe (Risdon Roberts, Slate)
