1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Hello, hello, hello everybody! Thank you so much for tuning in today. My name is Alexa Max and you are listening to Escort Confessions. 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:19,000 So sorry, I've been gone for a while. Basically, I've been traveling, auditioning and doing all the fun stuff. 3 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000 It's kind of been slow for some of sex workers because of the whole inflation thing, summer vacations. 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:35,000 Everybody wants to go out. It's super warm, super hot. So yeah, I've actually been doing some side gigs and finding side jobs. 5 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Like I started renting out my apartment to film students because I live in Savannah, which is where the SCAD University is. 6 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,000 So I've been super excited about that. And so yeah, I've been busy, been doing a lot of reading. 7 00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000 I've been trying to get into some comedy writing. I figured, fuck, if my friends can do it, so can I. 8 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:09,000 So today we're going to talk about this new movie. It's called Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. 9 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:17,000 And it's got Emma Thompson in it and Devil McCormack. It's kind of drama, but it's sex comedy. 10 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:27,000 And I think if you have no idea what sex workers do, I think you should watch it. 11 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:35,000 And as a fellow female, I think every female should watch this movie. It has three different locations. 12 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000 The director used three different locations and it's an hour and a half long movie. 13 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:52,000 I think a lot of women can relate to this movie. And oh, and for males, there's few sex scenes, so maybe you guys might enjoy it. 14 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000 So anyways, a little bit about the movies. So it's about 63 year old woman. 15 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,000 She's a retired widow seeking romance and excitement after a really boring marriage. 16 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:12,000 She has a really good looking young sex worker called Leo Grande in the hope of enjoying a night of pleasure and self discovery. 17 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000 Thank you, Wikipedia, for this information. 18 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000 You can watch it on Hulu. It's free. Well, if you have a Hulu account, of course. 19 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,000 But yeah, it's got really good reviews. It was premiered at Sundance Film Festival. I'm sure you guys are all familiar with that. 20 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:40,000 And yes, basically, you know, I was watching it. I wasn't sure what to expect because the films about sex workers are not they're not really accurate. 21 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,000 The ones that I have seen anyway. The only relatable is Secret Diary of a Cold Girl. 22 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:56,000 It's British comedy slash drama with Billy Piper, who is amazing. She's amazing in this. She's gorgeous actress. 23 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000 She's also intelligent. She produces her own films. Anyways, it's yeah. 24 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000 And this movie. So the story goes around these two characters. They're meeting in a hotel room. 25 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,000 And basically, yeah, the widow Nancy Stokes is the character's name. 26 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000 She explains how she has been in boring marriage for 31 years. 27 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Like, basically, her husband just took off his clothes. She, you know, got herself in a nightgown. He got on top of her and she never had an orgasm. 28 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:36,000 I'm like, oh, my God, that poor woman. But I I could relate, actually, really hard to that. 29 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:45,000 I used to be engaged back in 2017 and my fiance, he was born as fuck. I'm not going to lie. 30 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,000 He never wanted to do anything exciting. He never wanted to try anything new. 31 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000 He always pressured me to do blow jobs, which I never wanted to do with him anyway. 32 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:07,000 And yeah, like he never got me to orgasm either. I think like maybe twice in our three year. 33 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000 No, two year engagement, like three times orgasm. And we had sex like quite often. 34 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000 So I could definitely relate to that. He was so boring and shit like that. 35 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000 Like the only times I've experienced orgasms was with my clients. 36 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:31,000 So, yeah. So basically, Nancy Stokes, the character, she has this really good looking sex worker. 37 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:40,000 And, you know, his name is Leo. He's he's really good looking. He knows how to hold the conversation. 38 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000 He's has very calming demeanor. He is very intelligent. 39 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,000 Like nothing like he explains in this movie that nothing is wrong with him. He's not an orphan. 40 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:01,000 He like he has like family problems, but it should not interfere with his sex work and whatnot. 41 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,000 And he explains why he want to use the real name. 42 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:11,000 Like, well, the movie progresses to the point why like he won't say his real name. 43 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000 And it's basically like a like a code to all sex workers. 44 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000 Never use your real name. Always use your fake name. 45 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000 Because we're not selling ourselves. We're selling the fantasy. 46 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:30,000 And you get paid to be with this girl or this guy instead of our real selves. 47 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:43,000 I had to take a breath. I was so excited like to talk about this movie because it's this movie talks about sex work in a very good light in how it is to be a sex worker in everyday life. 48 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Because the scene starts with Leo sitting at the cafe. He has his journal coffee and he checks the time while Nancy, she is getting ready in a hotel room. 49 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:03,000 She's very nervous. But anyways, the movie has really good dialogue, very well written. 50 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,000 And the writer is a woman, which I could tell that she's done her research. 51 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000 So about sex workers and the industry itself. 52 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:19,000 And this movie is really good for female empowerment because it shows the main heroine. 53 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:27,000 She's so self-conscious about her body, how she's ugly, how she doesn't like this part or this part of her body. 54 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:34,000 But at the end of the movie, the main actress, she actually goes fully naked, which I approve 110 percent. 55 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:43,000 She goes completely naked and then she smiles at the end because she actually admires her body because Leo helped her feel sexy. 56 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:54,000 And I really liked how he talks about the sex industry and about himself as a sex worker because he brings people's fantasies to life. 57 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000 He helps everybody. He doesn't judge his clients. 58 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000 And yeah, it's a really good movie. I'm sorry, I just had to talk about it. 59 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,000 But yeah, it's called Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is on Hulu and you can Google it. 60 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,000 Yeah, it will pop up. Like I said, really good reviews and if you want to find out more about sex work, you should watch this movie. 61 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,000 So yeah.
