Cannes I Kick It

LIVE FROM NEW YORK (and Toronto) IT'S ... A BUNCH OF MOVIES. This week on the podcast J.Catherine Traverse and Emilio are joined by J. Kim Murphy to talk about all the movies announced for the NYFF Main Slate and TIFF Centerpiece, Wavelengths, and Docs. We try to figure out what's missing from these announcements, what we are excited to check out in person and if the Saturday Night trailer blew its whole Don Pardo wad. Excelsior!

A couple of small TIFF and Venice updates, and then it's off to the slopes! Or is it? Sundance has announced its finalist host cities for 2026 and beyond and we talk our way through all the possibilites, including a full evaluation of the PR statements from local governments and our associations with what local foodstuffs we know about. Our apologies to Louisville!

The Venice Film Festival has announced their entire lineup. TIFF has subjected us to a series of "TIFF Takeovers" through which we learned what will be playing in Special Presentations, Midnight Madness, and more. NYFF has begun to release crumbs of their main slate. Andy has no idea what Pavement sounds like. I think we've got some stuff to talk about.

A few weeks ago a trailer came out for an upcoming movie that caught our attention. Robert Zemeckis is back and we've had our eye on his next project HERE for quite some time due to some familiarity with the source material. After the release of the trailer we asked our friend and comic enthusiast C HOWSON-JAN to join us to discuss that book, by Richard McGuire, and our speculation about how it might adapt to film. Be sure to write in to demand stories or impressions!

There's a Locarno Lineup, there's some more TIFF Titles, and Horizon's Horizons are looking a little different, and we get into all of it was we rebrand into a new more confrontational show. Look out Slate Culture Gabfest! Also, we check in on our Unlikely Predictions... turns out many of them were not very likely!

This time, the gang really is all here. We promise. And we have an important question for our audience. In the midst of us talking about some Venice, TIFF and Berlin news, we come to a query: who is the Dave you would most want to meet? We hope to hear from you soon on this important matter. Also, we talk about THE BIKERIDERS and KINDS OF KINDNESS

Can you believe it's time to Consider the Fall already? That's right, we've heard the first bit of news out of TIFF 2024, 6 world premiere titles and a couple of tribute awards! And the gang's all here to break it down. Will Elton John perform in the streets of Toronto like Nickleback? Who has the authority to decide whether a film is an act of creativity? What's up with AppleTV's sizzle reel? Richard Linklater is making a movie about WHAT with WHO? All these relevant topics and more, discussed!

As is tradition, we've recorded a commentary on our Palme d'Ollie winner. We mostly discuss how good Asteroid City is, but also get into Indian Paintbrush's recent exploits, the possibility of Andy running for president, and not knowing most of the cast of The Phoenician Scheme.
