Emilia Perez (2024) with Bring Out Your Dead podcast

In this episode, we take a critical look at the film "Emilia Perez," an endeavor that has stirred significant debate due to its questionable narrative and representation. Joined by Griff and Chris from "Bring Out Your Dead," we dissect the film’s convoluted plot revolving around a Mexican cartel leader's journey of transition amidst the violence of the drug war. We highlight the controversies related to the film’s lack of authentic Mexican representation and the director Jacques Audiard's dismissive approach to Mexican culture. Our conversation unpacks the harmful stereotypes perpetuated by the film, particularly regarding trans women, and critiques its failed attempts at emotional resonance. We express disappointment in the film’s arbitrary musical numbers and underwhelming performances, particularly from Selena Gomez. Ultimately, we urge listeners to rethink their engagement with "Emilia Perez," advocating for cinema that embraces authentic narratives and empowers marginalized voicesBring Out Your Dead:https://www.instagram.com/bringoutyourdeadpod/https://pod.link/1706697539https://open.spotify.com/show/3Wsrp6l2a5JlXPJvG5Iwwg?si=3c5d62ed204a42a0Left of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector
