Cannes Film Festival: Infamous History and 2024 Lineup

On this episode of The Screen Mash Podcast, Barrett and Brad break down Cannes Film Festival, which is happening right now! The iconic French film festival has debuted some of the best movies ever and endured notable controversies and unusual norms (22-minute standing ovations!) over its 77-year span. But it’s always been an iconic entity in cinema culture. Brad walks Barrett through the history of the festival and some of its most infamous moments.

Then, they discuss this year’s lineup, specifically spending time on Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, for which Cannes is make-or-break for that film’s release hopes.
