Cannes I Kick It Cannes I Kick It

As crowds gather in France and it seems like there have been blessedly few notable headlines (as of recording this episode, anyways) we discuss the opening press conference of Cannes and Meryl Streep's honorary Palme presentation. We also catch up on a good bit of news from Venice and others, and have a nice chat about Kevin Costner's Deadline interview. And to top it all off, Bertrand Bonello's COMA is getting something of a theatrical rollout in America on the heels of THE BEAST, and we've been able to take a look at his pandemic era look at teenage girlhood. We hope Patricia Coma recommends this episode, seems like it would be good for traffic.

Another mixed pouch this week. The gang looks at news out of San Sebastian and a potential looming strike that could affect Cannes, before we dig into festival favorite Park Chan-wook's new HBO series THE SYMPATHIZER starring Hoa Xuande and Robert Downey Jr. going full Klumps, and recent indie sensation HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS, a silly slapstick cult-hit in the making.

First things first. This episode is NOT a gr*bag. However, we do have a wide range of topics to discuss. What's happening with Sundance and Slamdance? Who is on the Cannes Jury? What do we think of recent new releases CHALLENGERS and THE BEAST? What's happening with the organization of TIFF? For that last question, Emilio is joined by Soraya Roberts to discuss her recent article How Did TIFF’s Lightbox Become Its Money Pit? . All other questions are handled by the panel.

Food glorious food! 2023 Cannes Charmer THE TASTE OF THINGS has made its way to digital release and so we put our napkins in collars and dig into the sumptuous feast from Tran Anh Hung. We also look back to an earlier food movie, 1987 Un Certain Regard title BABETTE'S FEAST from Gabriel Axel. Our relationship to food on film, what we can learn about a character from how they eat and how they cook, and the nature of art and pleasure, we get into all of it. Plus, up top we have a look at the recent addition to the Cannes Lineup, as well as Director's Fortnight.

It's a classic Emilio and Andy mess around as we discuss the recently announced Cannes Lineup. We then discuss Louis Malle's Vanya on 42nd Street for its 30th Anniversary.
