Cannes I Kick It

J. Catherine has been to a film festival! The Chicago Critics Film Festival to be specific! Returning guest Greta Taylor joins us to talk BLUE HERON, THE INVITE, I WANT YOUR SEX, MADDIE'S SECRET and more! We also touch on the beginning of Cannes, the retrospective screenings of AI: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and THE FLY, as well as the difference between MGM+ and Prime Video, what's going on with Row K, and mankind's relationship to the animal kingdom. If you haven't seen Blue Heron and want to skip over our discussion it ends around 36:06.

There are a few Cannes additions we give a brief rundown on and then it is time to use what YOU, our LISTENERS provided us to once again draft potential Cannes Juries. Using the list of POWERFUL NAMES we each select a 9 person jury and then select a President for that jury. We get into all sorts of questions about what a mononym can mean, how time works in this hypothetical scenario, and why our listeners skewed so heavily towards male coded names when the prompt was "Powerful." MAKES YOU THINK, DOESN'T IT?

Back on schedule, there's a Cannes Lineup to analyze, and all four of us are here to offer the kind of insight only we can provide. What wikipedia rabbit holes will be fall down? How many French directors can J Catherine work her way into recognizing? What do Kiyoshi Kurosawa and John Travolta have in common? Answers and more within!

We decided, decisively and with a great amount of thought, to sit out Sundance and Berlin and South by Southwest this year. But Cannes's a callin', and we cannot resist the idea of at least one more festival season to chat about. So J Catherine and Andy got together to look ahead at what might play on the croisette- from the Neon lineup to the French obligations, we get into it all. We'll be back in 2 weeks to discuss how the lineup all settled out!
