Cannes I Kick It

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 Our twitter is @CannesIKickIt Our instagram is @CIKIPod Our letterboxd is CIKIPod Enjoying the show?

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 Follow David on twitter @davidlsims Our twitter is @CannesIKickIt Our instagram is @CIKIPod Our letterboxd is CIKIPod Enjoying the show?

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! Our twitter is @CannesIKickIt Our instagram is @CIKIPod Our letterboxd is CIKIPod Enjoying the show?

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 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.

Our first wide release out of Cannes Competition is here and it's got everyone going out to the theater over and over again. Our good friend JACK READ joins us to unpack the many layers of Wes Andersons's latest ASTEROID CITY! We get into all the ins and outs of the performances, the storytelling devices, and so much more.

The most important out of Hollywood right now is the growing fight on behalf of the makers to get a fair deal so they can keep their lives as working artists and craftspeople. To help us examine this phenomenon through our specialty lens we welcome writer and card-carrying (and currently striking) member of the WGA EMILY KACZMAREK (Monsterland, The Staircase) to talk us through the current moment on the ground and the many wide-ranging implications in the fight for the shape of the industry. And we also took this as a great excuse to look at 1979 Cannes Competition title and Best Actress winner NORMA RAE, starring the great Sally Field. The midbudget movie, the depiction of small town life, the quality of Sally Field's hair, we get into it all together. Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund here.

We are making amends. Last month we released a great episode on Frankie (2019) with guest Chris Feil, which you should listen to if you have not, but a rogue social media post led many of our listeners to believe we would be releasing an episode about Frank (2014). Here, finally is that episode. We talk about the ins and outs of Frank, leaving no stone unturned. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The biggest announcement of the year so far is here, that's right, we finally know who will be on the Tribeca Jur(ies?)! After thoroughly analyzing how this will impact the year ahead, we wrap up some odds and ends from Cannes Sidebars and then discuss new Palme Winner Justine Triet's previous feature, SIBYL! Starring Virginie Efira, Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Sandra Hüller, we gab about the fun feature examining an unethical therapist, a frustrating artistic process, and a whole lot of messed up relationships.

After months of speculation, we finally have a new Palme winner! Congratulations to Justine Triet and ANATOMY OF A FALL! With Emilio back from the croisette we get into the the line up of the winners, and tie up the competition loose ends we had not gotten to from last week. We get into the aesthetics of the awards ceremony, expose some truths about the Palme Dog ceremony, and Cullen tells a good Tom Brady joke.

It's prime Cannes I Kick It time baby! The 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival is in high gear and we are here to break it down. We talk Thierry, the critical reactions to the competition, and the tenor of this year's fest with our very own Emilio on the ground reporting live! To round it all out we take another Cannes Rewind look at a prominently featured filmmaker, this time looking at KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON's Martin Scorsese and the last time he was in competition with AFTER HOURS!

The people have been clamoring and clamoring for us to finally pull the trigger on Sachs Month, and we have heard those calls, and we will continue to ignore them. But in the hopes of giving some peace to the true believers, we take a look at Sachs's Cannes Competition entry, the Isabelle Huppert starring FRANKIE. And who better to discuss how FRANKIE is actually pretty good with us than THIS HAD OSCAR BUZZ's CHRIS FEIL! We talk Kinnear, the initial wave of negative reactions, and THE VATICAN FILES.
