James is by far the best reviewer we have, in fact he is the only one I will watch nowadays. Keep up the good work sir, I never miss a review.

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

Very kind words and I genuinely appreciate your enthusiasm for the channel. I have a few reviewers that I follow like author Bret Easton Ellis who has a podcast devoted to film culture. But because it is behind a paywall it rarely seems to be discovered by anyone.

Big Sean Baker fan. His movies always feel raw and never feel so manufactured. Great to hear your thoughts!

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

Thanks for listening and fingers crossed this movie can find the audience it very much deserves when it gets released on 10/18.

[@jacobsalas1141]

James thanks for this review. Going to put this on "my movies to watch" list.

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

Absolutely worth hunting down. Like with any Golden Palm winner, it will get inevitably overhyped but no matter what a lot of people are going to enjoy it.

[@wheatthinn]

Between all the buzz from festivals and how much I've enjoyed other Baker films that I've seen, this is definitely my most hyped release for the rest of the year.

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

You won't be disappointed. It's a perfect companion piece to Starlet, Tangerine and Red Rocket, and for my money, the best of them all.

[@dabakrada5077]

A very nice review. Your delivery was perfect! I stay subbed to your channel to hear about films like this that pull no punches. Thanks!

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

Much obliged! Always a pleasure calling attention to hardcore movies like 'Anora' in an era of so many bland, interchangeable franchises.

This guy's really sharp, as a razor when it comes to his research. He said Mikey Madison , might be a future horror movie "scream" queen. Mikey Madison was in the second to last Scream movie! Coincidentally she gets burned to death and literally screams in both SCREAM and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. In one she is lit up with a flamethrower and the other she falls on a stove. She actually stood out in SCREAM and seemed like one of the more charismatic members of the cast next to Jenna Ortega. Since the movie has been out for awhile I'll say she ended up being one of a half of a killer duo and kind of embodied the psychotic spirit we saw in the first movie Matthew Lilliard getting such a high from being a killer. I can't believe her appearance in that movie went right over this dude's head. Madison actually seemed like she was about to breakout and would probably move on to be in something more gritty and realistic. I think paying an Eastern European descended young stripper because of her exotic looks in an independent film kind of made sense. I think with her talent and presence onscreen she may really blow up. Defenitely will get an it girl following. I can't say Sean Baker's stuff appeals lately to me. The new movie kind of reminds me of Harmony Korine's gritry realis, well semi, in Spring Breakers or The Safie Brothers work. I've wanted to see Florida Project for awhile for Willem Dafoe's performance but keep forgetting about it but might check this Mikey Madison movie out because I really wanted to see what she was gonna do after SCREAM! I gues she doesn't get burned to death at the end of this film, or does she?

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

I haven't seen any Scream movies since Wes Craven died but it sounds like I might have one more that I need to see. As far as your final comment goes, you'll just have to wait and see, lol.

[@tom-vj9lz]

When is the shrouds coming out?

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

Many thanks for the translation!

[@aftertheshowmoviepodcast]

The Florida project is his best movie for me, it's absolutely not how you described it its quite intense as well.

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

Got it! I was just going from some synopsis I saw somewhere but it is absolutely on my to-do list.

[@aftertheshowmoviepodcast]

@@geekinwithJamesHancock Your going to love it, its gritty and edgy just like the others.

[@Qu33phTMManiaXMrEnvy]

I can’t wait to see anora. It reminds me of my own life just from the trailers. Like scarily and I have a feeling it’ll make me emotional.

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

It's an emotional whirlwind. Hope you enjoy the experience as much as I did!
