On today’s show, the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival has kicked off in the south of France, so Derick and I will discuss some of the films competing for the coveted Palme d'Or prize.
But, before that we will get into some film and tv news, do some what we've been watching, and finish up with our Letterboxd assignments.
