We also catch up on a good bit of news from Venice and others, and have a nice chat about Kevin Costner's Deadline interview. And to top it all off, Bert

Another mixed pouch this week. The gang looks at news out of San Sebastian and a potential looming strike that could affect Cannes, before we dig into festival favorite Park Chan-wook's new HBO series THE SYMPATHIZER starring Hoa Xuande and Robert Downey Jr. going full Klumps, and recent indie sensation HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS, a silly slapstick cult-hit in the making.

What do we think of recent new releases CHALLENGERS and THE BEAST? What's happening with the organization of TIFF?
