The trendiest film weekend in recent history deserves some context, and Cannes I Kick It is here to provide it. Upon the simultaneous release of Greta Gerwig's BARBIE and Christopher Nolan's OPPENHEIMER, we look back to their earlier festival days, taking a peak at INSOMNIA and MISTRESS AMERICA. Joining us is writer and filmmaker CASSIDY OLSEN! We talk Barbenheimer, Will Dormer, Tweeting on Twitter and so much more! Plus, a look at lack of news out of TIFF and our first Venice points tally!

We are well known for our famous segment "Predictions" here on Cannes I Kick It, so we thought it was well past time to expand that beyond a single prediction per film festival and blow it up into a whole dang draft. That's right, we're drafting the Venice Lineup! We met before (almost) any major fall announcements, and we're going to keep tabs on things with a scoring system! Hear us preview what might or could be at Venice like never before! Also, an extensive news segment featuring all sorts of stuff from Berlin, Sundance, NYFF and more, including our first discussion of the impact of the now official SAG Strike.

The most important out of Hollywood right now is the growing fight on behalf of the makers to get a fair deal so they can keep their lives as working artists and craftspeople. To help us examine this phenomenon through our specialty lens we welcome writer and card-carrying (and currently striking) member of the WGA EMILY KACZMAREK (Monsterland, The Staircase) to talk us through the current moment on the ground and the many wide-ranging implications in the fight for the shape of the industry. And we also took this as a great excuse to look at 1979 Cannes Competition title and Best Actress winner NORMA RAE, starring the great Sally Field. The midbudget movie, the depiction of small town life, the quality of Sally Field's hair, we get into it all together.

We are making amends. Last month we released a great episode on Frankie (2019) with guest Chris Feil, which you should listen to if you have not, but a rogue social media post led many of our listeners to believe we would be releasing an episode about Frank (2014). Here, finally is that episode. We talk about the ins and outs of Frank, leaving no stone unturned. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The biggest announcement of the year so far is here, that's right, we finally know who will be on the Tribeca Jur(ies?)! After thoroughly analyzing how this will impact the year ahead, we wrap up some odds and ends from Cannes Sidebars and then discuss new Palme Winner Justine Triet's previous feature, SIBYL! Starring Virginie Efira, Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Sandra Hüller, we gab about the fun feature examining an unethical therapist, a frustrating artistic process, and a whole lot of messed up relationships.

After months of speculation, we finally have a new Palme winner! Congratulations to Justine Triet and ANATOMY OF A FALL! With Emilio back from the croisette we get into the the line up of the winners, and tie up the competition loose ends we had not gotten to from last week. We get into the aesthetics of the awards ceremony, expose some truths about the Palme Dog ceremony, and Cullen tells a good Tom Brady joke.

It's prime Cannes I Kick It time baby! The 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival is in high gear and we are here to break it down. We talk Thierry, the critical reactions to the competition, and the tenor of this year's fest with our very own Emilio on the ground reporting live! To round it all out we take another Cannes Rewind look at a prominently featured filmmaker, this time looking at KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON's Martin Scorsese and the last time he was in competition with AFTER HOURS!

The people have been clamoring and clamoring for us to finally pull the trigger on Sachs Month, and we have heard those calls, and we will continue to ignore them. But in the hopes of giving some peace to the true believers, we take a look at Sachs's Cannes Competition entry, the Isabelle Huppert starring FRANKIE. And who better to discuss how FRANKIE is actually pretty good with us than THIS HAD OSCAR BUZZ's CHRIS FEIL! We talk Kinnear, the initial wave of negative reactions, and THE VATICAN FILES.
