Cannes I Kick It

Philippe Garrel’s THE SALT OF TEARS has departed the festival circuit and is now playing in virtual cinemas, so we took this opportunity to welcome back film writer and curator Jordan Cronk to talk the new release as well as look back at his history and some of his recent work. JEALOUSY, IN THE SHADOW OF WOMEN, and LOVER FOR A DAY, as well as his son Louis’ A FAITHFUL MAN are all touched on as we look at his style, his approach to character, and what an audience’s expectations are for these movies.

Its time again for a festival preview blowout, this time we are talking SXSW and Berlinale where we bring back our famous predictions segment! Also, to celebrate Ryusuke Hamaguchi's new film premiering at Berlin, we decided to talk about Asako I & II (00:46:21) and by "talk about" we of course mean that Cullen runs through the plot of the entire film.

With Sundance 2021 in the rearview, we take it back to look at two of the major releases from Sundance 2020 that are also writer/director first films, Radha Blank’s THE FOURTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION (00:02:06) and Emerald Fennell’s PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN (00:33:02). We are joined by writer and critic Caroline Siede to talk about theatre world satire, hip hop depiction, sitcom supporting actors, and revenge thriller subversions.

Happy New Year CIKI Fans, we’re back and looking both backwards and ahead this week. After touching on the status of our most anticipated movies from last year (would you believe many of them did not end up coming out?) we look ahead WITH A TWIST by applying out patented Jury Formula to figure out what we are most excited for. Feelings, inevitably, will be hurt, but we WILL determine and award the Palme d’Nollie no matter what.

In what is more of a Christmas Miracle than our listeners may realize, we were blessed to be joined by TWELVE GUESTS to celebrate the release of David Fincher’s MANK, one of our most anticipated movies of the year. We have five segments each with a different panel assembled to talk Fincher and his father, the film’s look, alternatives to Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried, socialism, and how much fun it is to say MANK. We wish a Very Merry Mankmas to all our listeners!

Thanks again to all Twelve Guests!
