Ep 24 - Emilia Perez ( The Oscar frontrunner everyone hates)

In our longest episode to date, we talk about Emilia Perez, the film that somehow landed 13 Oscar nominations. We break down the plot, the performances from Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, and Zoe Saldaña, and the film’s "bold" musical choices. We also dive into the controversy surrounding Gascón and director Jacques Audiard, as well as the depictions of Mexico, Cartel violence and Transness. Plus, why does Emilia Perez have critics and awards bodies in such a chokehold while audiences seem less convinced?
