Anora and Rumours (Movie Squad Podcast #194)
We’re all about Anora on the antepenultimate episode of Movie Squad for 2024!
Listen in as your hosts Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo share their thoughts on director Sean Baker’s Cannes Palme d’Or winner, starring Mikey Madison as a street-smart sex worker who finds herself married to the son of a Russian billionaire after a whirlwind romance (or is it romance?).
Then, the Blockbuster Babes regale Breakfast host Pam Boland with the satirical tale of Rumours, which sees legendary Canadian filmmaker Guy Maddin poking fun at the G7 in his film about world leaders (played by Cate Blanchett and Charles Dance, among others) fending for themselves when an apocalyptic crisis strikes their summit.
Rumours is now in Australian cinemas, while Anora opens on Boxing Day (but keep an eye out for early screenings, such as this virtual Q&A with Sean Baker at Luna Leederville on Monday 9 December).
Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat as Tristan and Simon reflect on their favourite Christmas movies, and Simon relents to give Love Actually some extremely qualified praise.
Tune in to RTRFM every Friday at 7:30am to hear Movie Squad live on Breakfast with Pam!
