On this episode, with the Cannes Film Festival kicking off this week, we discussed our Top 5 Palme d'Or Winners! However, because we did this list nearly a decade ago (on Episode 223), we decided to focus just on the prize winners of the 21st century this time around. We also talk a little box office given the really fun dominance of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2.

On this episode, JD and Megan discuss Lav Diaz's latest film MAGELLAN, starring an understated Gael Garcia Bernal! Known for his methodical filmmaking, Diaz creates an astounding portrait of myth deconstruction. banal expeditions and the devastating costs of colonialism.
