This week we're competing against each other once again, but this time it's to see which of us can craft the best jury to take over the honors for this years Cannes competition lineup? Andy, Emilio, and Jesse each pick 9 film connected names (from a pool provided by YOU the listeners!) to take on Vicent Lindon's late announced compatriots. How many of your favorite legendary screenwriters, cinematographers, actors, and directors will make the cut? Listen and find out!

If life is but a dream, what if you had to draw over every single frame of it in order to make a movie? A nonsensical question to be sure, but on those lines this week we are looking at recent SxSW premiere APOLLO 10 1/2: A SPACE AGE CHILDHOOD, Richard Linklater's newest rotoscoped project, as well as his first effort in that arena WAKING LIFE. Together we talk about philosophy, the striking visuals, and of course, TV sitcoms of the 60s.

The Cannes Film Festival has announced it's 75th lineup and what better way to probe and ponder it than to welcome back Returning Champion JESSE CATHERINE WEBBER to look at the highlights, the lowlights, and the odds of this year's slate. The official lineup is available for you to read HERE as well as the Director's Fortnight lineup HERE. We'll see you on the croisette!

The great Fran Hoepfner returns to chat with us about king baby face Mike Leigh! We get into his Palme d'Or winning film SECRETS & LIES and all of the stress we feel watching Brenda Blethyn as well as his Palme d'Or losing film ANOTHER YEAR and all the stress we feel watching Lesley Manville.

The Life of the Mind! It’s what John Goodman promises/threatens to show us near the end of the Coen Brothers exceptional Cannes favorite BARTON FINK. We’ve talked in the past about how the volume of wins for FINK was such a sensation that Cannes instituted new rules about how to properly designate multi-award winning films, but what about the movie itself? We get into all of it, the cast, the setting, and where it sits in the ever popular Coens oeuvre. Also discussed: Important Cannes Fortnite (and other) news.

We honor the third Palme d'Ollie winner, Leos Carax's ANNETTE, by talking about a bunch of other stuff(ALINE, Gary Trudeau, movies where old guys are trying to rob banks, CYRANO) over it! Don't listen if you haven't seen the movie obviously!

South by Southwest has come and gone, so we start off this week looking at the many many many winners from the film side of Austin’s big fest. After a thorough look at those naming rights, we take a look at another capitalistic dystopia, the world of Kathryn Bigelow’s reclaimed classic STRANGE DAYS! This is our first “Listener Pick” made by a recurring Ko-Fi donor to the show! We look at the brutality, innovation, and unsettling nature of the Ralph Fiennes/Angela Basset starring NYFF Centerpiece.

This week we take aim at The Archers! Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, masters of technicolor, had some significant play at early festivals, so we took a look at 2 of their biggest 1948's THE RED SHOES and 1951's TALES OF HOFFMANN. Joined by returning favorite Daniel Foster, we talk technicolor, the enduring power of opera, and Andy makes an incredibly unsettling personal revelation in regards to his ambitions. All this plus some early Cannes leaks!

Concert Documentaries get the spotlight as we turn to three movies heavily featuring David Byrne. In addition to enduring classic STOP MAKING SENSE and recent pandemic hit AMERICAN UTOPIA we zero in on a lesser-known title: CONTEMPORARY COLOR. Joined by Blank Check Researcher JJ Bersch, we look at Bill Ross IV & Turner Ross’s capturing of a crazy event merging Color Guard team’s routines with new music created by a wide range of contemporary music artists.
