Wrapping Up the 2023 Cannes Film Festival
Friday Jun 02, 2023
Friday Jun 02, 2023
After months of speculation, we finally have a new Palme winner! Congratulations to Justine Triet and ANATOMY OF A FALL! With Emilio back from the croisette we get into the the line up of the winners, and tie up the competition loose ends we had not gotten to from last week. We get into the aesthetics of the awards ceremony, expose some truths about the Palme Dog ceremony, and Cullen tells a good Tom Brady joke.

It's prime Cannes I Kick It time baby! The 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival is in high gear and we are here to break it down. We talk Thierry, the critical reactions to the competition, and the tenor of this year's fest with our very own Emilio on the ground reporting live! To round it all out we take another Cannes Rewind look at a prominently featured filmmaker, this time looking at KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON's Martin Scorsese and the last time he was in competition with AFTER HOURS!

Frankie with Chris Feil

Friday May 19, 2023
The people have been clamoring and clamoring for us to finally pull the trigger on Sachs Month, and we have heard those calls, and we will continue to ignore them. But in the hopes of giving some peace to the true believers, we take a look at Sachs's Cannes Competition entry, the Isabelle Huppert starring FRANKIE. And who better to discuss how FRANKIE is actually pretty good with us than THIS HAD OSCAR BUZZ's CHRIS FEIL! We talk Kinnear, the initial wave of negative reactions, and THE VATICAN FILES.

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!

We Pitch A24 Merch to Ben Hosley
Friday Apr 07, 2023
Friday Apr 07, 2023
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!
