It’s that time of year, where we look ahead to the END of the year!. Passions flare, truces are made, concessions are granted as we come to a consensus on our Most Anticipated Film of 2022 and our secondary unranked list of the Top 10 Most Anticipated Films of 2022. Before that, though, the Berlin Lineup has been announced and we very groggily work through the competition and other lineups.

CIKI is back! We're kicking off a new year with a new user's guide to film festivals. The gang talks through the major (and a bit of the minor) festivals of each year, looking at their early history, the shape of their awards slates, and what the style and flavor of each festival has. From Sundance to New York, if you've ever been lost hearing us talk about any of these festivals, or you just want a brush up on how this world crosses over and shapes the film calendar, this is the episode for YOU!

100 episodes! What a long strange road it’s been and we have, of course, no choice but to celebrate by following up last years 12 GUESTS OF MANKMAS with a brand new TACULAR, the FRANCETACULAR! Of course we are naturally discussing the films FRANCE (directed by Bruno Dumont) and THE FRENCH DISPATCH (directed by Wes Anderson). We have a panoply (again, 12!) of guests to touch on topics such as “Is FRANCE funny?” “How do these movies depict journalism?” and “What do we think of French people?” We apologize for the obscene length, but we will be taking a short break so feel free to break up your listening to cover our absence! We wish a Very Merry Mankmas to all our listeners!
Thanks again to all Twelve Guests!

Sometimes planning and recording a podcast every week gets so daunting that you decide its Shorts Week so you and your co-hosts don’t have too much homework to do! We all brought some short films that played festivals to get into the short film and its merits and what better way to explore the range of the medium than with Michael Robinson’s AND WE ALL SHINE ON, Benny Safdie’s THE ACQUAINTANCES OF A LONELY JOHN, Jodie Mack’s YARD WORK IS HARD WORK, and Marshall Curry’s THE NEIGHBORS WINDOW! So throw your best pair of sunglasses on and watch along with us! Also Andy gets promoted to head of our Letterboxd account!

Ever feel like somebody’s watching you? We return to Cannes 2006 to visit Andrea Arnold’s debut feature, the CCTV featuring RED ROAD, and the wonderfully named Florian Henckle von Donnersmarck’s debut, the divided Germany spy drama THE LIVES OF OTHERS. We are joined by the great C. HOWSON-JAN to get into the timing of character reveals, the look of listening in isolation, and the laughs of it all.
