Swords and armor are the name of the game for our main discussion this week. We take a look at 80s Cannes player EXCALIBUR, John Boorman’s telling of, well, the whole Arthur story, as well as new release THE GREEN KNIGHT, David Lowery’s trippy and challenging take on the story of Sir Gawain. Joining us is the host of HEAVY MEDDLE, the great ETHAN BRUNDEEN! We talk muck, Lowery’s festival history, “one for them, one for me” filmmaking, and Andy may even work in some talk of HAMILTON. All this plus more news of the NYFF lineup!

Slowly but surely we are getting to the bottom of what exactly happened at Cannes 2006, this week we take a look at what is perhaps the bleakest film of all time, Bruno Dumont’s FLANDERS. We pair it with a very tonally different recent offering of his, SLACK BAY. Joining us to ponder these extremely extreme movies is comedian and improv teacher WILL HINES! How does Dumont’s portrayal of war land with an audience? What exactly is his festival history? And how do The Klumps enter into all this? All these questions answered, plus the NYFF Main Slate and even more TIFF movies!

We decided to watch a bunch of trailers for movies that are playing/have played festivals and we talk over them for YOU! YOU are welcome! This is a bit of an active listen so the way it works is we count down to the trailer every time and you can softly hear the trailer in the background but if you want to watch along here is the playlist of trailers AND ALSO each trailer is time-coded here with the link to the trailer and when we start it. Hope this helps and again you're welcome! - andy

Festival season is in full flush as we start with a look at the announced line up of two of TIFF’s most high profile sections, Galas and Special Presentations. Our coverage of CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG begins here, but when will it end? Next we share some updates about the NYFF and Venice lineups and and pair it with some speculation about what announcements might be imminent. After a brief sojourn about Jordan Peele’s recently announced NOPE we lay Cannes 2021 to rest, discussing the last few premieres, Spike Lee at the awards ceremony, and the winners past and present, before a mini review about Palme Winner Julie Ducournau’s first feature, RAW. It’s a jam packed episode, catch that festival fever!

We've got a week to cool our heels before reacting to full Cannes madness so we have decided to invite the foremost Steven Soderbergh expert, Greta Taylor (@elsoderbergho) to talk about a pair of new releases. Zola (directed by Janicza Bravo) and No Sudden Move (directed by Steven Soderbergh). We talk about Zola being an excellent work of adaptation, the most recent period of Soderbegh's facinating career and Succession cast members finding their sweet spot in film.
