Cannes Endpoint
By Alison Willmore on 05/27/2008
We've stuck a fork in the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and that puppy is well charred. A day late and a Euro short, we take a look at the fest as a whole on this week's IFC News podcast, before discussing the pros and cons of two of the most talked-about films from American directors, Steven Soderbergh's "Che" and Charlie Kaufman's "Synecdoche, New York," surveying the prizes and giving out a few of our own.

He's punched out the scrawnier of his critics in a boxing ring. He's the filmmaker the world loves to revile, and in honor of (or maybe just to warn you about) the upcoming "Postal," this week on the IFC News podcast we discuss the career and films of Uwe Boll, and whether or not he's the contemporary Ed Wood.

Not Another Teen Movie Podcast
By Alison Willmore on 05/05/2008
Filed under: PodcastsThis week, "Juno"'s Ellen Page is back in theaters with "The Tracey Fragments," playing another troubled but eloquent teenager girl. Is it safe to say that Page is the wide-eyed, smart-mouthed face of the MySpace generation on the indie screen? In honor of her role, this week on the IFC News podcast, we take a look at some of the better representations of teens on screen, from "Kes" to "Ghost World."
