Cannes I Kick It

Wes Anderson has been busy and we are ON IT. Back with 4 shorts based on Roald Dahl short stories, all streaming now on Netflix, we look at THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR, THE SWAN, THE RAT CATCHER, and POISON, and discuss what unites them, what we responded to, and how the release and platform suits or does not suit the work Anderson is doing here.

TIFF concluded, Venice has long ago handed out it's Lions and Cups, and most of the CIKI crew is back at home. We get together to go over the big winners of the 2 awardsy Fall Fests (congrats to POOR THINGS and AMERICAN FICTION), break down the balance of our TIFF slates, and generally gas on about the state of theatrical distribution and managing online inventory for ticketed events in a fair way.

It's TIFF traveling time! As this episode is released we are in or making our way to Toronto, so of course it is the natural time for a loose episode of different things. Definitely not a grabbag and if you suggest otherwise we'll see you in court. First up, news on Currents and more, then our annual look at some of the big trailers of the year available for you to watch along with, and finally, one more festival grid, this time designed by Jesse. Join us! It's a fun time!

Follow along with the trailers on YouTube HERE

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.
