This week, Izzy and Murtada take a look at two films: Emilia Perez, a semi-controversial musical directed by Jacques Audiard about a lawyer who is recruited by a drug cartel boss to assist in locating a doctor for her transition, and A Real Pain, a Jesse Eisenberg film about two cousins who travel to Poland together to explore their family history and rekindle their relationship. While Emilia Perez left the duo wondering what on earth Greta Gerwig’s Cannes jury was thinking, A Real Pain at least stirred some interesting thoughts about how we observe the past today.

This week, Izzy and Murtada return to discuss Conclave, the papal thriller known online as Agatha Corpus Christi. They get into the stately performance of Ralph Fiennes, who may or may not still be hot, and the small but impactful performance by Isabella Rossellini as Sister Um Actually…Will either icon receive an Oscar nom? Or will black smoke billow from the Academy chimney?

This week, Izzy and Murtada interview Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham whose documentary, No Other Land, won the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2024 Berlinale Film Festival. The film captures the reality of life in Masafer Yatta, a small group of villages in the West Bank subject to the laws of the apartheid state of Israel. The film is an urgent call to action anchored by astounding footage captured on the ground by these genuine friends who are unequal citizens.
