Wes Anderson is punctual! Always happy to have a festival premiere and then be in wide release within mere weeks, his latest THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME is now in theaters and ALL FOUR HOSTS had an opportunity to see, so we naturally come together to discuss. We talk about Anderson's structural choices, his ideas on faith and religion, and his use of violence and many more things ON TOPIC and RELATED TO THE FILM before we kind of DIGRESS to offer a preview of a Venice preview and just kind of shoot the shit about movies since it hasn't been all four of us for a while. Fun stuff! Can we steal "Do it up!" now that Maron is retiring? Let's find out!

SINNERS and the Director's Fortnight Lineup
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!
