Jamie is joined by her friend Maxelle Talena of the Dysphoria podcast to talk about writer/director Jacques Audiard’s new film, Emilia Pérez. With elements of a cartel drama, a soap opera/telanovela, Mrs Doubtfire, Evita, a lib take on gender dysphoria, and what we imagine Hamilton is like, this Mexico-set musical is the cringiest thing dreamed up by a Frenchman in quite some time, and it just keeps winning awards. Where’s the woke mob when you need it?
