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!

Returning friend of the show and fan favorite Jack Read joins us to discuss Jane Campion's latest film THE POWER OF THE DOG! Jack had a lot to talk about but the only thing you really need to know is that the book is still available!

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.

Its time for the Spooktacular! Spooky Month once again comes to an end with a look at the festival run of JAMES WAN. We’re joined by CHRIS MELLO to give a look at franchise starters SAW, INSIDIOUS, and THE CONJURING. We get into Wan’s history with Leigh Whannell, what his relationship to other strains of horror filmmaking is, and a few of us even argue about MALIGNANT.

It's hard to believe that Berlin is right around the corner, but we kick off this week by looking at the Euro fest's announced Jury President, M. Night Shyamalan, and what movies might be in the mix to compete for the Golden Bear. Then it's a visit to a local fest: Cullen has seen several virtual screenings at the Chicago Film Festival and he details the lows and highs. Finally, we ponder Todd Haynes and his new music documentary THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, getting into the sights, the sounds, and the writing credits of the former Palme D'Ollie winner's first foray into the world of documentaries.

Spooky month will not be stopped, we're checking out the freaky world of Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Variety's J. KIM MURPHY joins us to look at three (roughly) consecutive offerings from the turn of the century: CHARISMA, SEANCE, and PULSE. We get into his formalism, his humor, and of course, his spooks and scares.
