    "Hit Man," "Bad Boys: Ride or Die," "Anatomy of a Murder"

    It's always a red-alert show when there's a new Richard Linklater movie, but that's especially true when it is the Venice hit (now on Netflix) "Hit Man," with Glen Powell. Then we discuss the Will Smith/Martin Lawrence sequel "Bad Boys: Ride or Die."
    Then, in our reboot, we dig way into the past with Otto Preminger's Jimmy Stewart classic "Anatomy of a Murder."

    Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

    "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," 2024 Cannes Film Festival Wrapup

    Grierson's back from Cannes! But Leitch is somehow the one that's more exhausted. Before we get into the movies: Send us questions for a mailbag show next week! We want your questions.
    OK! So first: We dig into George Miller's prequel "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga." Then Grierson gives us all his Cannes Film Festival thoughts ... including on Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis."

    "IF," "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," Grierson's 2024 Cannes Dispatch

    "IF," "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," Grierson's 2024 Cannes Dispatch

    This is a solo show, kind of. We didn't want to leave you three weeks without shows, but Grierson is in Cannes, so we split this one up. Leitch solos on John Krasinski's "IF" and the simian sequel "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes."
    And then Grierson pops in to give us 10 minutes on how Cannes is going. We'll be back over Memorial Day, when Grierson returns, to discuss "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga."

    "The Fall Guy," "I Saw the TV Glow," "Unfrosted"

    Hey! It's our 400th show! And we're in person, live from Grierson's place in Los Angeles. And we've got three doozies of movies to talk about. First, it's the big budget stunt film "The Fall Guy," with Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt and directed by that OTHER Leitch. Then we dig into the indie hit "I Saw the TV Glow." And we close with Jerry Seinfeld's Netflix movie "Unfrosted."
    It's our 400th show! Thank you for letting us do 400 shows.

    "Challengers," "The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed"

    "Challengers," "The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed"

    We just have two movies this week, but they're fun ones. The first is Luca Guadagnino's Zendaya tennis movie "Challengers," and then the indie "The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed.
    The reason we have just two movies this week? Because we have our special in-person 400th show next week. Live from Los Angeles!
