This week on the podcast we cover Hometown Prison, directed by Richard Linklater. This is episode 1 of God Save Texas, a documentary TV series that premiered at this year's Sundance. We discuss how this documentary shapes our understanding of Linklater's work in terms of biographical background and his conversational/curious style. We discuss our favorite moments from the doc and our general admiration for Linklater's work.

The time has come around again for us to take an early look at what this year's Cannes competition might look like. It may not feel quite so early anymore as the trades scramble to catch up with us, but nonetheless Jesse has put together another barely informed set of potential entrants from which her co-hosts will crown an early Palme d'Or favorite. Do we think Terrence Malick will finally release a new film? Do we expect Neon to continue their streak? Will our listeners send us twenty dollars so that Jesse will give Vampire Weekend's 'Father of the Bride' another spin?
Check out the podcast episode on Berlin Jesse mentioned with critics Öykü Sofuoğlu and Flavia Dima.

Every year, Cannes I Kick It? does a commentary episode, reserved for the winner of our annual and prestigious Palme D'Ollie. This year, we threw out that precedent and decided to do a live commentary investigation into the question "What's Cat Person?" That's right we check out the 2023 Sundance flop, now streaming on Hulu. None of us have read the story! Not all of us will last until the end of the movie! Join us on our journey!

For TOO LONG, Valentine's Day has been focused on a narrow, and dare we say, Hallmark Approved, definition of Romantic Love. Well, we here at Cannes I Kick It have some questions about that. What about the steady love of friendship? Or the love that forms from the artistic collaboration between director and actor? Or the most unique love of all, the love between a distributor and a festival title it has acquired? We are here to investigate these questions with a series of games designed to pair partners together. Also, there is news.

It's official: 2024 will not be a year without festivals! Slamdance and Sundance are in the books, and we've seen a handful of the films available on digital platforms throughout these festivals, so we check in on some titles like THE ACCIDENT, A REAL PAIN, SUNCOAST, BETWEEN THE TEMPLES, GOOD ONE, and IN THE SUMMERS. We also discuss the winners and the deals. Plus: news!

A Tacular comes but once a year, and what a year it has been. We've Taculared non festival films (Mank once or twice) and Cannes premieres (France and The French Dispatch), but never before has a trailer so solidified the need for a Tacular. And this Tacular comes to us all the way from the opening night of Berlin. Rebecca Miller's She Came to Me is the subject. Our many thought and some thoughts from our listeners is the meat of the thing. Enjoy the She Came to Me-Tacular! Thank you for another great year, and we'll see you in 2024!
