Summary
This week, Patches and Da7e convene in the War Room because Patches has A.I. concerns now that Google is giving into the bubble. Da7e saw Mandalorian and Grogu, and they talk about how little cultural impact it seems to be having. Da7e does not spoil any plot points or twists, so don’t worry!
Then, David and Katey check in from Cannes at 10:30PM last Monday. Seems like a light year, but Katey saw Club Kid, which A24 picked up! David liked Paper Tiger and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Katey also talks about her takeaways from her first Cannes Film Festival and her screening of Hope, a movie she thinks will work for a lot of people. Finally, the President of Global Cinema of Neon makes the mistake of walking past our hosts late at night on a street in France and mistakenly appears on the podcast.

| 0:11.9 | international conspiracy. Well, then, as you say, we're both coming through fine. The sap and impurify. |
| 0:18.0 | I agree with you. It's great to be fine. All of our precious bodily fluids. |
