Episode • May 3 • 1h 19m

April 2025 has five Tuesdays, and whenever that happens the last Tuesday of the month is a "dealer's choice" event, with Tim going off on whatever tangent catches his fancy. Unfortunately, due to some scheduling trouble, this particular fifth Tuesday episode has been delayed a bit, but it's worth it: Tim has a conversation with UW-Madison film scholar Will Quade about the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and what we can learn about the state of world art cinema by the choices festival programmers make. Will is one of the only people I know with more irascible and idiosyncratic opinions than my own, and we do tend to go off on some rants once we get going.
