For Episode 494, I am joined by Sara Clements, Larry Fried, Will Mavity, and Tom O’Brien, as we deliver our preview for the 2026 Tribeca Festival. We also touch on the recent box-office successes of “Backrooms” and “Obsession,” and what they mean for Hollywood moving forward. For this week’s poll question, for the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival, we’re asking everyone: “Which Films From The 2026 Tribeca Festival Are You Most Looking Forward To?” and reveal the winner of last week’s poll question tied to the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, “Which Of The 2026 Cannes Film Festival Award Winners Are You Most Looking Forward To Seeing?” We also share our reactions to the trailers for “In The Hand Of Dante,” “I Am Frankelda,” answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Thank you all for listening, subscribing, and supporting us. Enjoy!
