Q: The Podcast From Cbc Radio

Sean Baker’s Palme d'Or-winning film “Anora” is generating major Oscar buzz this year and its star, Mikey Madison (Scream, Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood), is already the talk of the town. The story follows a sex worker from Brooklyn who meets and marries the son of a Russian oligarch. But their fairytale romance is threatened after news of their shotgun wedding reaches his parents in Russia. Mikey sits down with Tom to talk about her deep research and preparation for the role, why she feels protective of her character, and how the film has changed her life.
