A podcast about film festivals

    Wrapping Up the Toronto Film Festival

    Wrapping Up the Toronto Film Festival

    TIFF concluded, Venice has long ago handed out it's Lions and Cups, and most of the CIKI crew is back at home. We get together to go over the big winners of the 2 awardsy Fall Fests (congrats to POOR THINGS and AMERICAN FICTION), break down the balance of our TIFF slates, and generally gas on about the state of theatrical distribution and managing online inventory for ticketed events in a fair way.

    New York Film Festival Opening Night Jury with David Sims

    New York Film Festival Opening Night Jury with David Sims

    Cannes Blockbusters are not the only unjuried film festival slate in the world. So having exhausted this avenue, we turn to New York Film Festival, famously uncompetitive, to inject a little competition and conflict into their whole affair. The slate? Films that played in the opening slot of NYFF in the new millennium so far. Returning to join us as President of our Jury? The great DAVID SIMS of BLANK CHECK with Griffin and David. Together we figure out what it is About Schmidt, how to split the David Fincher of it all, and how we can only give one award to Carnage. All this and some general chat about the shape of TIFF and NYFF this year.
    The movies under consideration are HERE

The Girl Named Sig ,

Great podcast!

This podcast makes me feel like I’ve never seen a movie in my life. But in a good way. Highly recommended.

Great Content, Poor Production

I love the content but can’t stand the sound mix. Whether on headphones, phone speaker, or Bluetooth, each host is speaking on a completely different level. As you lean in to hear the barely audible host, another one will release a mild chuckle that vibrates the entire soundscape of my car. It’s every episode.

Again, content-wise, big fan; just wish the quality of the audio and the sound mix was more consistent and evenly leveled.

Great Podcast

Fun and informative. However, Cullen is wrong about Bright Star, it is bad.
