Episode #410: Anora

Well this is not how we anticipated the end of our 7th year to go but it happens. The audio for this week’s podcast is very jacked up. Matt did his best with editing, cleaning it up, and lining it up but you can only do so much. Ma, Mike, and Matt are sorry in advance.

We kick off our Academy Awards Best Picture Nominees catch up with Anora starring Mikey Madison, Paul Weissman, Yura Borisov, and Lindsey Normington. Bonus topics today include the Bada Bing! club, way too much info about Ma Hinshaw, and how long does a Toyota Camry really last?

For our next pod we hit the theaters to watch the first MCU film of 2025, Captain America: Brave New World starring Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, and Danny Ramirez. Thank you for your continued support of our passion project. We will be back next week with another episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast!
