Summary

For Episode 491, on the day I leave for Cannes, I am joined by Lauren LaMagna, Dan Bayer, and Megan Lachinski to deliver a final preview of the 79th edition of the world's largest film festival. For this week's poll question, to tie into the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, we're asking everyone: "Which Films From The 2026 Cannes Film Festival Are You Most Looking Forward To?" and reveal the winner of last week's poll, for the announcement of the new Oscar rules, where we asked, "Which Film Festival Prize Winner From The Last Decade Would You Have Nominated For The Oscar Under The New Best International Feature Rules?" We also share our reactions to the trailers for "Tony," "Evil Dead Burn," answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! We hope you enjoy this week's episode. We'll be back midway through the Cannes Film Festival to give you an update on the films Cody Dericks, Nadia Dalimonte, and I have been seeing, and then we'll be fully back in two weeks with our final rundown of the festival.

0:01.8	Oh, thank you so much. This might be the one time I'm speaking. This is not a joke. Moonlight is one best picture. Could you double check the envelope? And I can't deny the fact that you like me. Thank you, life, thank you love. Where did you fall in the movie? And Maria is see Alpineheim. At the movie theater. This is nuts. It's a top. I'm the king of the world!
0:23.6	And the Oscar goes to... And the Oscar goes to. Gentlemen, my only object in being here is to try and get out of the truth. Flash like a watch like this. He's looking at you, Kim. Frankly, my idea, I don't give him. It could have been a contender. Passing you're... I could have been somebody. They could only kill me with a golden wood. What have I done? Oh me, Mr. Tibbs. I'm gonna make him an awful again. The census taker once tried to test me. I ate his living with some father-me. For Frodo. For Frodo. I can't stop what to come. This ain't reality TV. You hate followers. You've been drinking today. You mock Twitter. I know, I should. He's back. If you win. It's time. He's called this. And now I have to come down. The Oscar goes to Destroyed of worlds. One battle after another.
