Chris Feil joins Katey to look over the winners from this year's allegedly "off" Cannes Film Festival, and predict which titles will be a major part of the coming awards season. They also reveal some behind the scenes details from the experience together on Pop Culture Jeopardy, now on Netflix! Then Katey talks to Riz Ahmed about his limited series Bait, which is both semi-autobiographical and wildly inventive, but all from a deeply personal place.
