Longtime listener dropping in to say how much I’ve enjoyed these daily dispatch episodes for Cannes week. I love that we’re having this moment to focus on films before the conversation pivots pack to television and the forthcoming Emmy nominations. Thanks for plugging the LGM summer book club. I’m excited to see which titles y’all select!

I listen to waaaaay too many awards-based podcasts. And this one is the best. Smart, funny (thanks Richard), informative and to the point. Chefs kiss. (But I do miss Katie!-have her back for a chat some time!)
Used to love it
