Grierson & Leitch

This is a solo show, kind of. We didn't want to leave you three weeks without shows, but Grierson is in Cannes, so we split this one up. Leitch solos on John Krasinski's "IF" and the simian sequel "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes." And then Grierson pops in to give us 10 minutes on how Cannes is going. We'll be back over Memorial Day, when Grierson returns, to discuss "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga."

It is almost a Coen Brothers movie: It's "Drive-Away Dolls," directed by Ethan Coen and starring some old Coen staples.
