Ep. 247: Cannes 2024: Jon Dieringer on The Apprentice, The Substance, Megalopolis Squared
Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. On the latest episode on the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, I’m joined by Jon Dieringer, editor and mastermind of Screen Slate, to cope with a couple of doozies in this year’s lineup. First up is The Apprentice (directed by Ali Abbasi), also known as The Trump Movie, followed by the full-on The Substance (Coralie Fargeat). Both movies also allow an opportunity to muse upon the hot-house festival atmosphere, and Dieringer also share a few thoughts on Megalopolis (Francis Ford Coppola), which he has already seen twice.
