Why Emily Ratajkowski’s Acting Career Ab...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

On the show today…

Time Magazine has released its 100 Most Influential People list for 2023 and a number of celebrities have ended up in the coveted spots. Some of the names have us cheering, but others are a little more problematic.

And Emily Ratajkowski has shared why she abruptly walked away from her acting career after starring in a string of well-received movies, and fired her entire team in the process. On one hand, her complaints about the film industry come from a place of unspoken privilege. At the same time, she’s been smart enough to put herself in an untouchable career position.

Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! On today’s show, we have a buzzy new Netflix drama and an award-winning magical comedy to recommend to you.
