It’s Ify’s 3rd anniversary as host! To celebrate, film and culture writer Beandrea July joins us to bask in the afterglow of a Sundance darling that dares to explore an older woman’s sexuality (but doesn’t stop there!). Then, inspired by (the theme of) lust, we quiz it up about the Seven So-Called Deadly Sins.

Emma Thompson is a lonely, unfulfilled woman, and Daryl McCormack is a sex work she hires for several assignations in a hotel room. And there we have Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, and so much more. Ashley & Matt review this new movie, available to watch on Hulu.

We meet two Australian women making waves in film & TV to hear about their personal experiences in the industry....Chloe Rickard - Partner, COO and Executive Producer at Jungle Entertainment who are behind some of our most high-profile shows including No Activity, The Moodys and Wakefield; and Sophie Hyde - director of the feature films Animals, 52 Tuesdays and 2022 Sundance hit Good Luck To You Leo Grande which stars Emma Thompson. Plus, director Renee Webster on How To Please a Woman, a lively female liberation drama with Sally Phillips in the lead (Veep, Bridget Jones), about a woman in her fifties who starts an all-male house house cleaning business.
