First, they talk through what the actual experience at the festival is like, including how it logistically works, what the vibes are like, and how to survive (). Then, they dive into the slate of films they’ve seen and categorize them into the good, the bad, and the WTF (). Finally, they share their final predictions for all of the main prizes at the festival and briefly cover some potential Oscar implications ().
