We're back in the French Riviera for a very special episode, as Girls On Film returns to the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. This year, host Anna Smith welcomed guests to the second Girls On Film Cannes Do at The Members Club. This glamorous networking event on the beach brought together filmmakers, critics, and creatives celebrating the power of women in cinema. In this episode, you'll hear reflections from our community on what Girls On Film means to them. Later on in the episode Anna reunites with film journalist Wendy Ide who reflects on this year's films, which she says have been of a consistently high standard. Wendy shares her standout picks from the festival, from the fiercely divisive Die, My Love, a visceral exploration of the raw edges of motherhood and mental unravelling, to Sound of Falling, a haunting meditation on how trauma echoes through time and place. She also dives into Sirât, an allegorical road movie, in which gender and disability are refreshingly incidental, not defining. Plus other titles that are already generating serious awards buzz. And finally, we're joined by Liza van der Smissen and Nicole Lieberman, founders of the Female Film Club. This trailblazing global network uplifts women in the industry through practical workshops, seminars and a thriving, supportive community. They share the story behind their mission and how they're helping to reshape the future of film, one powerful connection at a time. They also unveil an exciting new opportunity: a £10,000 investment in a short film, designed to give back to their talented global community. To enter from 16th June onwards, filmmakers must join their networking space.

Welcome back to The Culture Garden Podcast! In this week's episode, Rich and Rachel are discussing the official launch of the Culture Garden Film Club!

Dave and Adam are Young at heart this week as a legendary - and notoriously prickly - troubadour gets the spotlight thrust upon him. Admittedly, neither of your regular microphone fiends are experts on the man born Neil Percival Young, so thankfully they have A. Smyth on hand in the co-host chair, a few weeks ahead of his excellent new album Hello Goliath. That record is up for discussion, alongside a grab-bag of news items, and some thoughtful head-scratching on the runaway success of lore-infused alt-rock sensations Sleep Token. Over on the NO ENCORE Patreon, there's a spirited, additional audio-heavy breakdown of 1995 twistathon The Usual Suspects on a brand new Film Club, while Adam has a fresh Album Club imminent in the days to come - hit up patreon.com/noencore to sign up now! As for this episode...ACT ONE: A. Smyth talks Hello Goliath, sonic irritations, personal inspirations, and more. ACT TWO (38:03): Josh Freese packs his Foo Fighters drum-bags, Donald Trump takes aim at two of his favourite pop culture targets, Lorde makes a strange admission, and what the hell is this Sleep Token phenomenon all about?

It's hard to believe that 'Rogue One' premiered nearly a decade ago. At the time, it was fairly well received, considered to be a decent first step into the standalone Star Wars movies, if not a bit messy. As the years passed, we learned more about the production. Gareth Edwards, who retained sole directing credit, was assisted by Tony Gilroy to "fix" the project. Tony went so far as to call it a "corpse" when he came aboard for rewrites and reshoots. It was Tony's inclusion that brought us some of the movies most memorable moments, and ultimately led him to leading the charge on 'Andor', a prequel project that flew under the radar as hits like 'The Mandalorian' hogged the spotlight. With 'Andor' now complete, considered by many to be a masterpiece in storytelling, not just in Star Wars but on television in general, now is the most appropriate time to reexamine the movie that spawned the Cassian-centered prequel series with fresh eyes. 'Andor', which leads directly into the events of 'Rogue One' recontextualizes much of the film, creating a unique viewing experience that pays off a multitude of threads that are brilliantly laid over the two seasons of 'Andor'. It takes the movie, which was already pretty good, and makes it great. Now existing as part of a whole that weaves a cohesive narrative from the nascent moments of the Rebellion all the way through to the destruction of the Death Star in 1977 (the seed that begat ALL Star Wars, and what we appropriately align our Star Wars BBY calendars to). It all feels wholistic and considered when viewed from the broader perspective - an accomplishment that should set a shining example of what Star Wars can and should aspire to.

The one person guaranteed not to be able to answer the question "What's it all about?" is Alfie himself - although he'd surely tell you otherwise. We cast a 21st century eye back at the 1966 film, it's astonishing 1975 sequel, and even the 2004 remake Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Jim Cameron

It's Good Friday, and the final broadcast of Holy Week. J Gulinello (PerpetualHealthCo on Rumble & IG) is in for a visit so now I have someone to bounce some stories off of. RFK Jr's announcement on Autism research has triggered a fascinating range of responses from Gatekeepers and the rabble alike; and there will be plenty of time time for extras, hopefully some calls, and we'll be back LIVE on Easter Monday. Just as a reminder, Monday night is FILM CLUB! So become a sponsor, watch Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock, and be prepared for some fun.

Just as Doctor Who was returning to our screens twenty years ago, The League of Gentlemen were signing off - with what would turn out to be a divisive (albeit ultimately temporary) full-stop on their canon, a film that turns the original concept on its head; our thoughts are somewhat mixed Presented by Dylan Rees, with Mark Donaldson, Steve Hatcher and J.R. Southall

As his latest, the Hitchcockian thriller Drop arrives in cinemas, we take a look at what director and writer Christopher Landon has been up to since the Happy Death Day movies and Freaky: recent Valentine themed slasher Heart Eyes, and the Netflix family film We Have A Ghost Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber

We welcome Hal (@shestructured on Letterboxd) and Craig (@gentlemanbaby on Letterboxd) from the Red Rose Film Club podcast to cover American Psycho (2000), the Wall Street horror/comedy starring Christian Bale as Patrick "Jason" Bateman. This movie's got a lot going on, folks. And we get to it all—we determine who has the best business card, we explain why you wouldn't want Christian Bale as your co-worker at Whataburger, we try to figure out what's going on with Justin Theroux's hair, and we marvel at Patrick Bateman's chainsaw math. Also, is American Psycho Jared Leto's villain origin story?   But more than anything, we're trying to identify what exactly Patrick Bateman represents. Is he the embodiment of toxic masculinity? A victim of America's addiction to competition and consumption above all else? A misunderstood baby boy? An iconic slasher villain? What if our answer was…. Yes?   Next week:  We are the nation's top fun-havers, so we're taking the week off for Spring Break. We'll unlock our The Truman Show episode from our Patreon archive, and we'll be back on April 25, 2025 with a brand-new episode about Sister Act 2 (1993) with our friend Jen Walks N2 Walls.   Subscribe to Red Rose Film Club: Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/42qrGU6  Spotify: https://bit.ly/4ieGX0b    Subscribe to our Patreon, Load Bearing Beams: Collector's Edition for $5 a month to get two extra episodes! patreon.com/loadbearingbeams     Time stamps: 00:08:00 — Our personal histories with American Psycho 00:16:30 — History segment:  Bret Easton Ellis and his American Psycho novel; development of the film under director Mary Harron; star Christian Bale 00:41:45 — In-depth movie discussion 02:02:39 — Final thoughts and star ratings   Sources: “American Psycho: An Oral History, 20 Years After Its Divisive Debut” by Tim Molloy | Movie Maker, 2020 - https://bit.ly/44e4Kd2  “Blood, Boycott, and Body Bags: An Oral History of ‘American Psycho'” by Tatiana Tenreyro | Vice, 2020 - https://bit.ly/4i61CmW  “Snuff This Book!  Will Bret Easton Ellis Get Away With Murder?” by Roger Rosenblatt | The New York Times, 1991 - https://nyti.ms/3G0emOE    Artwork by Laci Roth.   Music by Rural Route Nine.
