Cannes I Kick It

Cannes continues to take shape with a Director's Fortnight line up with a few titles to note. And there's an exciting new movie that's a big hit in theaters from a filmmaker with a festival background. We talk about Ryan Coogler's SINNERS, how it functions as a horror or action movie, how the thematic material is sitting with us, and the fascinating structural choices made in it. Please note that there were some Cannes additions made after we recorded, we will be sure to discuss those next time around!

The 2025 Cannes Lineup is here! Who's in? Who's out? Who will win the Palme? Emilio and Andy look into all the competition films, take a peak at the other lineups including the coveted Cannes Premieres slate, and talk about what's still out there that might still get added and what's not done yet.

It is the time of year where we all go a little mad, what with it being the month of March. We are celebrating by going far up our own butts and determining the greatest of the CIKI in-jokes and obsessions. Play along won't you? And let us know where we go wrong!

It's post-OSCARS WEEKEND. To celebrate, we play the second half of the game Andy put together last week, a little Festival Oscars Guessing Game for Emilio and Cullen to duke it out over and decide the ultimate champion. Please don't pay TOO close attention to the scores, but we have some fun puzzling over how big a festival imprint some of this year's nominees have, and where those imprints fall!

Sundance has put another chapter in the books, and we're here to talk about it! Andy saw five things at the Virtual fest this year, so he shares his thoughts on TWINLESS, LOVE BROOKLYN, SORRY BABY, BUBBLE & SQUEAK, and ZODIAC KILLER PROJECT with Cullen. The two also discuss many of the award winners.

We're back! And once again looking forward in a new way! We've prepped a little quiz for each other for us to share and discuss movies we expect in the next 12 months or so, so join in and guess along and see how well you know what cinematographers and composers are attached to what projects!
