• The Phoenician Scheme, The Encampments and the cinema of Palestine

  On the latest episode of The CineSkinny, we take a wild trip with a ruthless tycoon (Benicio del Toro), his deeply moral daughter (Mia Threapleton) and his Swedish tutor-cum-secretary (Michael Cera) in Wes Anderson's breakneck espionage comedy The Phoenician Scheme.  We come back down to earth with the urgent and enraging documentary The Encampments, which takes us inside the Palestine solidarity campus encampment at Columbia University that became a focal point last spring in the fight against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. And inspired by The Encampments and the upcoming SAFAR Film Festival, each member of the team recommends a great Palestinian film.

• Magic Farm, Good One, and the wonderful world of Wes Anderson

  A bumper pod this week –  we review Amalia Ulman's Magic Farm about a bunch of hipster journalists getting lost in Argentina, and India Donaldson's Good One about a v v awkward intergenerational camping trip. But that's not all! We also dig into Wes Anderson's ornate cinematic toolbox ahead of The Phoenician Scheme, so we're talking family, casting, animation, etc etc. But that's still not all! Jamie inspires some Final Destination-style catastrophising, and Anahit's been back on the Love Is Blind tip so that's in there as well. And that's all.

• Sinners, Motel Destino and Big Nights Out that Go Awry in Movies

  On this week's pod, two hot, hot movies. First up, Sinners, Ryan Coogler's sexy Southern Gothic vampire flick set in Jim Crow-era Mississippi. It's got two Michael B Jordans, it's got epic musical sequences, it's got exquisite period detail, it's got spit sharing, it's got a smart and thorny race analogy at its heart, it's got great actors bringing their A game, it's got wonderful post-credit scenes and, did we mention, it's got two Michael B Jordans.  Similarly sexy and sweltering is Motel Destino, a neon-lit tropical noir from Brazilian director Karim Aïnouz. And inspired by Sinners, the team choose their favourite films set during parties or big nights out where things go off the rails. TIMESTAMPS: What We’ve Been Watching: Blue Velvet, April, GFT's Derek Jarman and Chantal Akerman retrospective, Manhunter (2:20) Sinners review (13:42) Motel Destino review (31:28) Theme: Nights Out Gone Awry (Carrie, Festen, The Invitation, Coherence, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist) (41:36) Get us on Twitter, Bluesky, Instagram and Letterboxd  @thecineskinny, email us at [email protected] Music: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool) License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
