Cannes Blockbusters are not the only unjuried film festival slate in the world. So having exhausted this avenue, we turn to New York Film Festival, famously uncompetitive, to inject a little competition and conflict into their whole affair. The slate? Films that played in the opening slot of NYFF in the new millennium so far. Returning to join us as President of our Jury? The great DAVID SIMS of BLANK CHECK with Griffin and David. Together we figure out what it is About Schmidt, how to split the David Fincher of it all, and how we can only give one award to Carnage. All this and some general chat about the shape of TIFF and NYFF this year.

The movies under consideration are HERE

We talk about our plans for TIFF, other recent and upcoming festivals, and sabermetrics. That list is backwards chronologically but descending in terms of time devoted. We recorded this about an hour ago and were pretty loopy then, so imagine how loopy I am now.

We have never been more in the thick of fall festival announcement season! After we discuss the NYFF Main Slate and some TIFF announcements, our Jesse speaks to the Associate Programmer of Wavelengths at TIFF, Jesse Cumming, about the JUST ANNOUNCED TIFF Wavelengths program for this year (34:10). And as if that is not enough, we reconvene to discuss Steven Soderbergh's typically productive year, particularly his two recently released episodic works, Full Circle and Command Z. Which of them reminded Andy of the Laundromat? The answer may surprise you!

Once again, we have turned to our listeners. This time we have asked you to be the namers of COOL. What is COOL? What does it get us? How would it apply in a film festival jury situation? Really only the last question is addressed in this attempt to think about this year's Venice Jury. Also, more TIFF announcements!

The list we are pulling from is is HERE

What we have here is a news segment that went so long it ended up being its own episode. TIFF Special Presentations & Galas! The entire Venice line-up!

The trendiest film weekend in recent history deserves some context, and Cannes I Kick It is here to provide it. Upon the simultaneous release of Greta Gerwig's BARBIE and Christopher Nolan's OPPENHEIMER, we look back to their earlier festival days, taking a peak at INSOMNIA and MISTRESS AMERICA. Joining us is writer and filmmaker CASSIDY OLSEN! We talk Barbenheimer, Will Dormer, Tweeting on Twitter and so much more! Plus, a look at lack of news out of TIFF and our first Venice points tally!

We are well known for our famous segment "Predictions" here on Cannes I Kick It, so we thought it was well past time to expand that beyond a single prediction per film festival and blow it up into a whole dang draft. That's right, we're drafting the Venice Lineup! We met before (almost) any major fall announcements, and we're going to keep tabs on things with a scoring system! Hear us preview what might or could be at Venice like never before! Also, an extensive news segment featuring all sorts of stuff from Berlin, Sundance, NYFF and more, including our first discussion of the impact of the now official SAG Strike.
