Oscars Season 2025: Anora | Pop This! Episode 445

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)     Recommendations   Andrea W.: Flow (movie)   Lisa: A Real Pain (movie)   Andrea G.: Unstoppable (movie)   Music credits  "Electrodoodle" by Kevin MacLeod From: incompetech.com Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License   Theme song "Pyro Flow" by Kevin Macleod From: incompetech.com Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License   "Good Times" by Podington Bear From:  Free Music Archive Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License     Pop This!
