I'm Sean Finisie. I'm Amanda Davins. And this is the big picture a conversation show about the demons that have possessed Amanda.

We're talking about the conjuring, the devil made me do it. It's the third conjuring movie, the eighth installment in this franchise, which hits HBO Max and theaters this weekend.

Diving into the film in our favorite number three entries in movie history. We're doing it with CR Chris Ryan. How are you? I'm good. Am I like the trilogy? I'm like, I make the big picture trilogy, right?

You are. You are the final piece of the triangle of sadness.

That's right. You are the isosceles in our heart. Guys, before we get into the conjuring three, let's talk about some movie news.

Pretty momentous day in terms of announcements. Film festivals are back and the Cannes Film Festival is going to be back. It was postponed in 2020 and they announced July 6th through July 17th.

The festival will be returning with an absolutely stacked lineup. We knew about a couple of the movies that were going to be there.

There's a new film from Wes Anderson, of course, and Layos Carricks and Paul Verhoeven.

And also a lot of other movies. Any initial reactions from seeing some of these announcements, Amanda?

I'm still waiting for you to surprise me with my trip to Cannes. It's not too late. We've got a month. They still have some of the travel restrictions and who can get to the festival and how it's going to be held is still not clear because the situation in France is not totally clear and also because French people love to make rules and then change them and then change them again.

You want to celebrate that as well. No, it's really exciting. Obviously, the Wes Anderson film that we're all three. Looking forward to will be there.

Annette, the Layos Carricks film will also be there. Just a lot of other great films. Do you want to name some of them that you've written in this outline?

Well, there's just a truckload, right? Because this is two years in the making. See, are you been to Cannes 30 consecutive years now? So you must be really excited. I have a bill that I just sort of like dip in and dip out. I'm curious though.

If Sean, if Johnny Cannes wrote you and was like one person from the big picture can come. Well, I think it's a shock.

And you took the invite. Would that be the the the Holy Roman church splitting here with like that split you in a mando apart if you jumped on a can invite.

This is a false premise because one, there's no such person as Johnny can to there's no universe in which there's only one ticket for us.

If you were going to go should Amanda should we should we go to can.
