Cannes Discount podcast highlights Quinzaine and Semaine

Cannes Discount, a French-language podcast hosted by Ambre Lahlou and Eliott Mozin, used two episodes published on May 22 to steer listeners toward Cannes titles outside the main competition. The show’s Ausha page describes it as a low-budget festival diary centered on “sélections parallèles” — the parallel sections that run alongside the official lineup. Episode 7, titled “La mort n’a pas de mobile home,” covered Jorge Thielen Armand’s “Death Has No Master” and Alexander Murphy’s “Tin Castle,” according to the source briefing and festival listings. Episode 6, titled “Dérapage coup de coeur et Gyros,” discussed “Virages” by Céline Carridroit and Aline Suter and described it as a “coup de coeur” by the hosts, according to the source briefing.

The Cannes Discount page says the podcast takes listeners through the festival’s parallel selections rather than the main official competition. That focus matches the films named in the two May 22 episodes: Quinzaine des Cinéastes, Semaine de la Critique and ACID. The Festival de Cannes official selection page separates the main lineup — Competition, Un Certain Regard, Cannes Premiere and other official strands — from those parallel sections. (quinzaine-cineastes.fr) Quinzaine des Cinéastes and Semaine de la Critique each maintain separate 2026 lineups on their own sites, while ACID lists its own Cannes program as well. (podcast.ausha.co) ### Where do “Death Has No Master” and “Tin Castle” sit in the festival? “Death Has No Master” appears in the 2026 Quinzaine des Cinéastes lineup as a 104-minute feature and world premiere by Jorge Thielen Armand. The Quinzaine page says the film follows Caro, who returns to Venezuela to sell her late father’s cacao plantation and finds the family mansion occupied by former staff. (festival-cannes.com) “Tin Castle,” also presented as “Irish Travellers,” appears in the 2026 Semaine de la Critique competition lineup as a 1-hour-46-minute feature by Alexander Murphy. The Critics’ Week page says the film follows the O’Reilly family, who live in a trailer under threat of eviction, and identifies it as the sixth film in competition. ### What does the Episode 6 reference to “Virages” tell listeners? (quinzaine-cineastes.fr) “Virages” is part of the ACID Cannes 2026 program, according to the source briefing and ACID program materials. That places the film in the festival’s independent parallel section, which is organized separately from the official competition and Critics’ Week. The source briefing says Episode 6 called “Virages” a “coup de coeur,” signaling that the hosts singled it out as a favorite rather than simply logging another screening. (semainedelacritique.com) No transcript was available in the retrieved sources, so that characterization rests on the episode description provided in the briefing rather than a direct quotation from the audio.

Ambre Lahlou and Eliott Mozin are named on the Ausha page as the podcast’s hosts, with Eliott Mozin also credited for production for Agora FM. The same page shows earlier episodes published from May 18 through May 20, each tied to films in Quinzaine or ACID, indicating the show has been posting throughout the festival. (lacid.org) A YouTube video published on May 21, “CANNES 2026 | Checking In | Updates & Palme d'Or Predictions,” points to the broader wave of late-festival recap and prediction coverage around Cannes. Cannes Discount’s May 22 episodes fit into that same end-of-festival stretch, but with attention on sidebars rather than Palme d’Or contenders. ### Where would a listener look next? (podcast.ausha.co) The 2026 Semaine de la Critique page links interviews and screening details for “Tin Castle,” and the Quinzaine page lists “Death Has No Master” in its 2026 selection. The Cannes Discount feed on Ausha shows the podcast’s running episode list, including the May 22 entries and earlier episodes published during the festival. (semainedelacritique.com) (youtube.com)
