We're all about Anora on the antepenultimate episode of Movie Squad for 2024! Listen in as your hosts Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo share their thoughts on director Sean Baker's Cannes Palme d'Or winner, starring Mikey Madison as a street-smart sex worker who finds herself married to the son of a Russian billionaire after a whirlwind romance (or is it romance?). Then, the Blockbuster Babes regale Breakfast host Pam Boland with the satirical tale of Rumours, which sees legendary Canadian filmmaker Guy Maddin poking fun at the G7 in his film about world leaders (played by Cate Blanchett and Charles Dance, among others) fending for themselves when an apocalyptic crisis strikes their summit. Rumours is now in Australian cinemas, while Anora opens on Boxing Day (but keep an eye out for early screenings, such as this virtual Q&A with Sean Baker at Luna Leederville on Monday 9 December). Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat as Tristan and Simon reflect on their favourite Christmas movies, and Simon relents to give Love Actually some extremely qualified praise. Tune in to RTRFM every Friday at 7:30am to hear Movie Squad live on Breakfast with Pam!

This week, we have a special bonus episode courtesy of our Latin American podcast MUBI Podcast: Encuentros. To celebrate the exclusive release of MEMORIA on MUBI in many countries, we're excited to share this discussion between Tilda Swinton and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.Swinton and Weerasethakul reunited in Colombia for MEMORIA's release and talked about the importance of understanding that you're not in control and how cinema is an attempt to put what's inside one's head on screen, something they achieved through sound.This conversation touches on the creative process of two of film's greatest names while working together on the film, which was an intimate collaboration founded on their long friendship.For the world-renowned Thai artist and film director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the topics of dreams and death are essential to his filmography. His style raises big questions about time and our relationship with the spiritual world. Winner of the Cannes Palme d'Or in 2012 for UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES, Weerasethakul returned to the main competition years later with MEMORIA, his first film shot outside of Thailand, which received the Jury Prize (ex-aequo).The Scottish artist, actress, and producer Tilda Swinton began her career performing and collaborating with experimental filmmaker Derek Jarman. She has worked with directors such as Jim Jarmusch, Wes Anderson, Luca Guadagnino, the Coen brothers, and Joanna Hogg. Her performances have been characterized by the subtlety of her gestures and her magnetic presence. In 2007, she won the Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for the movie MICHAEL CLAYTON.

Things got a bit heated this week as the team watched Cannes Palme d'Or winner, the THREE HOUR classic/worst film ever, Blue Is The Warmest Colour. Come and listen as Alice she-hulks out about how much she hates it, Holly defends long naturalistic French films, and Georgia admirably acts as the voice of moderation.The team get into the director's general shittiness, the differences between the film and the original comic, and what this film is really about. Also, yes, those very VERY long sex scenes.CN: Swearing, spoilers (film and book), discussions of a sexual nature, Alice's pure rage.
The Genesis Collective's Community Theatre Project Our Stories: A Play for Beaver County Voices On episode 22 of the TSVP Radio Theater Podcast, we present a special preview performance of The Genesis Collective's inaugural community theatre project: Our Stories: A Play for Beaver County Voices. Performed in the radio theatre-style before a live audience at the sold-out Beaver Train Station in Beaver, Pennsylvania, this show represents the dramatic arts feature of The Genesis Collective's 2022 Art Madness Celebration in Beaver County. Visit The Genesis Collective Episode Cover: Artwork by Jacob Swanson. Previous Next Photos: Erin Ninehouser/Rustbelt Mayberry Photography About this Play The performance featured here is a special preview of Our Story's future stage presentation to be held August 20, 2022 at the Black Box Theater in the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center, Midland, Pennsylvania. This is the inaugural production of The Genesis Collective's Community Theatre Project--an innovative initiative designed to support the dramatic arts in Beaver County by creatively revealing and showcasing the voices and stories of our time and in our communities. Our Story: A Play for Beaver County Voices does just that. The subjects, incidents, characters, and dialogue are all based on actual interviews and recorded conversations with Beaver Countians--our friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens. We make no apologies for the sometimes uncomfortable truths borne out by these lived experiences. We stand by our sources and lift up their voices and stories from the marginalized shadows, where far too many of us would rather they stay "out of sight, out of mind," as our play's Maggie Kowalski says. These stories are bad for business, bad for attracting new investment. What town wants to damage their reputation by talking about . . . food insecurity, homelessness, human trafficking, or the psychological traumas brought on by the Pandemic? These Beaver County stories make us wince, naturally. But we can't ignore them. Only then can we meaningfully address the issues facing us today and with hope and possibility transform our communities--our entire county--into a better place to be. Ars vitam meliorem facit -- art makes life better. Cast & Crew Robert Hugh Harper Hugh plays the part of Walter Montegomery. Hugh is a Beaver County native and professional voice actor specializing in audiobooks. He played in a number of movies including a Cannes Palme d'Or winner, NYC short film festival award winner “Stock Footage,” and numerous co-costing spots for Seto Nakai Media and NHK in Japan.

Titane (English: Titanium) is a 2021 body horror film written and directed by Julia Ducournau. The French-Belgian co-production stars Agathe Rousselle in her feature film debut as Alexia, a woman who, after being injured in a car accident as a child, has a titanium plate fitted into her head. Vincent Lindon, Garance Marillier and Laïs Salameh also star. The film had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on 13 July 2021, where Ducournau became the second female director to win the Palme d'Or, the festival's top award, as well as the first female filmmaker to win solo. It was selected as the French entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards, but did not make the shortlist. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/popcorn-junkies/message
Welcome to an extremely adults-only edition of the Movie Squad pod! On Breakfast this week, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo reviewed Julia Ducournau's Cannes Palme d'Or winner Titane, which set tongues wagging on the Croisette (and continues to make audiences faint and vomit in cinemas, apparently) with its tale of a woman who develops a strange, sexual fixation on automobiles. Then, Tristan and Simon reviewed Bad Luck Banging or Looney P**n (which Brekky host Taylah Strano had also seen!); a Romanian black comedy about a school teacher who is put on 'trial' by the parents at her school when her homemade 'adult film' is leaked online. Finally, Simon caught up with Bad Luck Banging director Radu Jude to chat about making his movie in the middle of a pandemic, filming actual sex acts with adult film actors and why Facebook pulled the trailer down in Australia.
On the 206th episode of Piecing It Together, The Vern from Cinema Recall joins me to talk about 2021 Cannes Palme d'Or winner Titane from French director Julia Ducournau. It's a story about a woman with a titanium plate in her head who is impregnated by a car... But it's really about love. Really. Puzzle pieces include Crash, Kill Bill, The Skin I Live In and Swallow.

Our guest, Swedish director/writer Ruben Östlund, is the newly crowned winner of the Cannes Palme d’Or for his latest film "The Square", which is described as a poignant satirical drama reflecting our times. The suspenseful satire tackles the Swedish art scene, politics, media, community and national identity. The film stars Danish actor Claes Bang, Elizabeth Moss, Dominic West and motion capture artist Terry Notary, who gives a mesmerizing performance as the “ape-man” during a black-tie museum dinner. Östlund’s previous film "Force Majeure" won him the Jury Prize at Canne in 2014 and became a huge international hit. It’s about a father who runs away from danger instead of protecting his family and the emotional aftermath. The situation brings up the expectations of manliness and the uncomfortable humor of life itself. It was recently announced that "The Square" will represent Sweden at the 2018 Academy Awards, and we couldn’t be prouder to welcome its writer/director Ruben Östlund.
