#089: Anora with Phillip Iscove

For our eighty-ninth episode, we’re joined by friend of the show and the newest member of the Three Timers Club: Phillip Iscove (“Podcast Like It’s the 2000s”, “Sleepy Hollow”) for a discussion of the actors’ audio commentary for the most recent Best Picture Academy Award winner: Sean Baker’s 2024 film “Anora”. Among the things discussed: Safdie versus Safdie, Tarantino versus Dano, how sweet and soft-spoken Mikey Madison is when not being set on fire, Russian actor names that are hard to pronounce, the uncertainty of the 2024 Oscar season, comparisons to “Pretty Woman”, the stigma of sex work in the 21st century, your wonky yet affable host’s choice of THC intake, and so much more. Ryan’s Recommendations: “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), “Logan” (2017), and “Nightmare Alley” (2021) For exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcast Our network: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/network Theme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
