Popcorn and Cumin

29: Emilia Pérez


Listen Later

Happy New Year! Popcorn and Cumin is back and our 2025 resolution is to continue to review movies even if they are terrible. This week's topic is the 2025 Golden Globe Best Musical or Comedy winner Emilia Pérez. This is a French film that has cleverly masqueraded itself as a Mexican movie by cunningly casting a single Mexican actor. Are you a fan of culturally insensitive and poorly translated dialogue and song lyrics? Do you love songs that sound like they were written by an AI? Do you like Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Selena Gomez (okay, they are actually quite good)? If any of the answers are yes, then Emilia Pérez was made for you, and what better way to round off your viewing experience than listening to your favorite pop-culture podcast's thoughts on this modern masterpiece. (We hope to be back doing good movies soon).
