Cartels, Courtrooms & Catchy Choruses — We're Talking Emilia Pérez!

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast , we're shaking up our cocktails and our genres with Jacques Audiard's bold, bonkers, and beautiful Emilia Pérez . Part musical, part crime thriller, and part "wait, did they just break into song during a cartel shootout?", this Cannes sensation tells the story of Rita — a burned-out lawyer who's roped into helping a ruthless drug lord disappear… only to discover he doesn't want to dodge the law, he wants to become the woman he's always dreamed of being. Enter Emilia Pérez: diva, dreamer, and living proof that Scarface and La La Land had a baby with a Latin pop soundtrack. Kent, Laura, Patrick, and Squeeker pop the cork and dive into gender identity, redemption arcs, cartel politics, and whether choreographed musical numbers can survive in a world of AK-47s. We tackle the big questions: How do you cast a drug lord turned pop diva and make us believe it? What cocktail pairs best with a power ballad about smuggling routes? And is it possible to two-step your way out of a federal indictment? Pour yourself something strong, turn up the volume, and join us for the most tuneful crime story you'll hear this year. 🎙 More episodes at:
