This episode is a collaboration between Edie Montana of Slut Riot and Bambi of Feminist Fatale Media, they are both sex worker activist groups who use their art to de-stigmatize sex work. In this episode, they deep dive into Sean Baker's newest movie, "Anora", a story of a sex worker who marries a Russian oligarch and faces the consequences of an impulsive marriage to a rich and powerful family.

They address their personal positive takeaways and criticisms towards the movie and what potential this movie has to de-stigmatize sex work. They question whether it is appropriate for non-sex workers like Sean Baker to continuously profit off the stories of sex workers through their art. They highlight the importance of sex workers being able to tell their own stories and how those in positions of power and privilege should be giving a platform to marginalized groups to tell their stories and not to do it for them.
