For this week’s main podcast review, I am joined by Alyssa Christian, Dan Bayer, Giovanni Lago & returning guest Zoe Rose Bryant to review and discuss the newest film from Jacques Audiard, “Emilia Pérez” starring Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz & Édgar Ramírez. A genre mashup that tells the unique story of a drug crime lord who desires to undergo gender-affirming surgery, the Netflix film has polarized audiences since its world premiere at Cannes, garnering festival prizes, critical praise, and criticism while dazzling audiences. What did we think of it? Tune in as we discuss the performances, writing, direction, musical numbers, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
