Chicago Critics FIlm Festival 2026

J. Catherine has been to a film festival! The Chicago Critics Film Festival to be specific! Returning guest Greta Taylor joins us to talk BLUE HERON, THE INVITE, I WANT YOUR SEX, MADDIE'S SECRET and more! We also touch on the beginning of Cannes, the retrospective screenings of AI: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and THE FLY, as well as the difference between MGM+ and Prime Video, what's going on with Row K, and mankind's relationship to the animal kingdom. If you haven't seen Blue Heron and want to skip over our discussion it ends around 36:06.
