    #18 Anora

    What’s up Maradona listeners! In this episode we review the movie Anora(2024 film directed by Sean Baker, and along for the ride is our returning guest, Jack.! Jack was also apart of our Babylon episode and we are thrilled to have him back. We also doing things a little differently this time around, as we have (fake) sponsor breaks, and we are splitting our show into two sections. The first section will be entirely spoiler-free, and then after our first sponsors break it will be spoiler-heavy. Haven’t seen the movie and want a brief synopsis? Listen the first 24 minutes as we break down what you can expect in the film. Love the film and want to hear us talk about all the spoilers and themes of the movie? Stick around for the whole thing! Hope yall enjoy this very special episode.
