On the show today… Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is a new sex comedy-drama in cinemas now and tells the story of a retired schoolteacher (played by Emma Thompson) who, after living a sexually repressed life, hires a sex worker by the name of Leo Grande (played by Daryl McCormack)  to help her tick off her bucket list of sexual experiences. In this special bonus episode, we talk to Emma Thompson, and the film’s Australia director Sophie Hyde, about the making of Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, in a passionate conversation that dives into sexuality, ageing, sex work, motherhood and the greatest lies we have ever been told.
