In this deep-dive episode, we celebrate Ana de Armas's gripping performance in Ballerina (2025). This film marks her full transformation into a leading action star, and we couldn’t be more impressed. We’ll talk about her character Eve — a ballerina raised in a secret assassin society — and how her story of loss and revenge creates emotional stakes not always seen in action films. We explore how the film connects to the John Wick universe without relying on it too heavily. We also share our favorite moments, behind-the-scenes trivia, and why Ballerina feels like a fresh take on the revenge genre. Don’t miss this one — and if you haven’t seen the film yet, it’s currently streaming on Afdah.
