We do love our ties here at Cannes I Kick It. We've examined a few in our day and we finally felt called to examine one Cannes tie that really says a lot: the BEST DIRECTOR tie between Joel and Ethan Coen's THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE and David Lynch's MULHOLLAND DRIVE. And who better to help us unpack this than the creative team behind the TO THE WHITE SEA podcast, JORDAN FISH and RAY TINTORI. Together we talk Abel Ferrara's temper, the arc of the Coens' career, and the strange production history of Mulholland Drive. All this, plus reactions to the Critics Week and Directors' Fortnight lineups!

Cannes line up is here! Cannes line up is here! We get together to run the numbers and ask and answer the questions. What missing movies is Jesse thinking Venice for? Which Italian should Fremaux burn a bridge with? What does Wim Wenders think of toilets?

For too long, we have focused on the actual films of the film industry: when they will open, where they will be programmed, who will see them. But now, we turn our work to something more important: alternative revenue streams, in the form of MERCHANDISING! That's right, we've got special guest BEN HOSLEY to join us to take a look at hip distributor A24's upcoming movie slate, and see how they can grow their already successful ancillary tie-in game to keep their movies in the conversation beyond the indie theatre or the multiplex. What products will be green-lit for production? Listen and find out!

It's the question on everyone's lips every March... Who will win the Palme D'Or this year? Well, we decided to apply the typical madness of March to this question, and have Andy, Cullen, and Emilio take on a bracket seeded by Jesse. Who will win? Who will be this year's (Bad) Cinderella story? How far will Alice Rohrwacher be able to go? What Yorgos Lanthimos movie is more likely to play Cannes? All these questions and more are answered in our very own March Madness Episode!

Hot off triumphing on the Oscar Stage South by Southwest has returned with another mix of buzzy premieres and movies we will never hear from again. We turn to friend of the show and native Texan ETHAN BRUNDEEN who was on the ground for 2 of the films to fill us in on how big they do film premieres in Texas, specifically AMERICANA and JOY RIDE. All this, plus news, and extensive discussion about the hit influential showtime series THE FIRST LADY.

Once again the gang gets together to commentate our declared best movie of the year. Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans gets the full CIKI treatment, including discussions about bodily functions presented in the movie, whether Burt Fabelman is being fair, what it was like to see this at TIFF, and the Kushner of it all. Congrats to us all for a great time!

This week, Blank Check Researcher and self-proclaimed "King Gamer" JJ Bersch joins us to talk about video games released by former(?) film production studio ANNAPURNA. We discuss Solar Ash, The Unfinished Swan, Donut County, and Neon White specifically, but take detours to talk about motion sickness and each of our entire history of playing video games along the way.
