This week, we're joined by Jesse Webber, co-host of Cannes I Kick It, to chat about Kelly Reichardt and her 1994 debut, River of Grass. We talk about how it plants the seeds for the rest of her career, the inescapability of Reichardt's landscapes, discuss our mutually minimal connections to Florida, and go off-topic quite a bit.

You can stream River of Grass on Kanopy and Prime, and rent it in the usual places.

For Top Five this week, Jesse brought Top Five Performances You Have Crushes On.

You can catch Cannes I Kick It wherever you find podcasts, and on Twitter @ CannesIKickIt. You can buy the CIKI gang a coffee over at Ko-fi. Keep an ear out for CIKI co-host Andy Germuga on the show soon, and for our big crossover episode dropping in May.

If you're catching this the day this show drops, go watch Jesse's improv show later today on Twitch!

We have a few charities to promote this week:

• Beacon House provides children in the Edgewood neighborhood of Northeast Washington, DC with a safe, nurturing, and life-expanding community in which to increase their academic achievement, discover their talents, and to grow into healthy adults who achieve their greatest potential. You can support them directly here.
• The American Shakespeare Center Theatre Camp, oft discussed on this show, is raising money for their 2021 summer session. By buying this shirt, you're supporting the camp directly.
• Agape Animal Rescue, located in Tennessee, is dedicated to finding forever families for abandoned and displaced dogs through our signature foster and adoption program while cultivating better communities through dog training, owner education and outreach programs.
