Hello, hello, hello everybody! Thank you so much for tuning in today. My name is Alexa Max and you are listening to Escort Confessions.
So sorry, I've been gone for a while. Basically, I've been traveling, auditioning and doing all the fun stuff.
It's kind of been slow for some of sex workers because of the whole inflation thing, summer vacations.
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.
Like I started renting out my apartment to film students because I live in Savannah, which is where the SCAD University is.
So I've been super excited about that. And so yeah, I've been busy, been doing a lot of reading.
I've been trying to get into some comedy writing. I figured, fuck, if my friends can do it, so can I.
So today we're going to talk about this new movie. It's called Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.
And it's got Emma Thompson in it and Devil McCormack. It's kind of drama, but it's sex comedy.
And I think if you have no idea what sex workers do, I think you should watch it.
And as a fellow female, I think every female should watch this movie. It has three different locations.
The director used three different locations and it's an hour and a half long movie.
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.
So anyways, a little bit about the movies. So it's about 63 year old woman.
She's a retired widow seeking romance and excitement after a really boring marriage.
She has a really good looking young sex worker called Leo Grande in the hope of enjoying a night of pleasure and self discovery.
Thank you, Wikipedia, for this information.
You can watch it on Hulu. It's free. Well, if you have a Hulu account, of course.
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.
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.
The ones that I have seen anyway. The only relatable is Secret Diary of a Cold Girl.
It's British comedy slash drama with Billy Piper, who is amazing. She's amazing in this. She's gorgeous actress.
She's also intelligent. She produces her own films. Anyways, it's yeah.
And this movie. So the story goes around these two characters. They're meeting in a hotel room.
And basically, yeah, the widow Nancy Stokes is the character's name.
She explains how she has been in boring marriage for 31 years.
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.
I'm like, oh, my God, that poor woman. But I I could relate, actually, really hard to that.
I used to be engaged back in 2017 and my fiance, he was born as fuck. I'm not going to lie.
He never wanted to do anything exciting. He never wanted to try anything new.
He always pressured me to do blow jobs, which I never wanted to do with him anyway.
And yeah, like he never got me to orgasm either. I think like maybe twice in our three year.
No, two year engagement, like three times orgasm. And we had sex like quite often.
So I could definitely relate to that. He was so boring and shit like that.
Like the only times I've experienced orgasms was with my clients.
So, yeah. So basically, Nancy Stokes, the character, she has this really good looking sex worker.
And, you know, his name is Leo. He's he's really good looking. He knows how to hold the conversation.
He's has very calming demeanor. He is very intelligent.
Like nothing like he explains in this movie that nothing is wrong with him. He's not an orphan.
He like he has like family problems, but it should not interfere with his sex work and whatnot.
And he explains why he want to use the real name.
Like, well, the movie progresses to the point why like he won't say his real name.
And it's basically like a like a code to all sex workers.
Never use your real name. Always use your fake name.
Because we're not selling ourselves. We're selling the fantasy.
And you get paid to be with this girl or this guy instead of our real selves.
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.
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.
She's very nervous. But anyways, the movie has really good dialogue, very well written.
And the writer is a woman, which I could tell that she's done her research.
So about sex workers and the industry itself.
And this movie is really good for female empowerment because it shows the main heroine.
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.
But at the end of the movie, the main actress, she actually goes fully naked, which I approve 110 percent.
She goes completely naked and then she smiles at the end because she actually admires her body because Leo helped her feel sexy.
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.
He helps everybody. He doesn't judge his clients.
And yeah, it's a really good movie. I'm sorry, I just had to talk about it.
But yeah, it's called Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is on Hulu and you can Google it.
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.
