For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Cody Dericks. This week we're reviewing Gerard Johnstone's "M3GAN," starring Allison Williams, Jenna Davis & Violet McGraw. 2023 is off to a fun start. Expectations were low for this one, but by leaning into the film's ridiculous premise with a degree of self-awareness, a new horror icon has been born, which will supply us with endless memes and Halloween costumes for years to come. What did we ultimately think of the story, the horror, the campiness, and the performances? We discuss all of these points and more as we attempt to give M3GAN the review she deserves. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.comPlease subscribe on...SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/nextbestpicturepodcastiTunes Podcasts - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/negs-best-film-podcast/id1087678387?mt=2Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7IMIzpYehTqeUa1d9EC4jTAnd be sure to help support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month at https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Learn more about your ad choices.

"The Pale Blue Eye," tells an origin story of sorts for one of the world's most renowned authors, Edgar Allen Poe. Played by Harry Melling, the young military cadet in 1830 West Point, New York, is called upon to help a veteran detective (Christian Bale) solve a series of grizzly and inexplicable murders. Director/Writer Scott Cooper may love continuing to work with Christian Bale, but he has no interest in repeating himself as he tells a gothic thriller with a few surprising twists and turns. The film is now available to stream on Netflix, and Cooper was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work on the film, which you can listen to down below.

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Dan Bayer & Brendan Hodges. Today we're reviewing the latest film from Academy Award-nominee Noah Baumbach ("Marriage Story") as he adapts someone else's material for the first time, Don DeLillo's "White Noise." Starring Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy, Jodie Turner-Smith, André L. Benjamin & Lars Eidinger, the film is a satire of America in the 1980s with a stylistic flourish from Noah Baumbach unlike any we've ever seen from him before. The film had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it received mixed to positive reviews for its performances, music, tone, and complex adaptation by Baumbach. The film is now streaming on Netflix and is garnering an even more mixed response but what did are think of it, though? Please tune in for our review as we discuss these aspects, including its Oscar prospects and more. Thank you so much for listening. We hope you enjoy it. Check out more on NextBestPicture.comPlease subscribe on...SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/nextbestpicturepodcastiTunes Podcasts - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/negs-best-film-podcast/id1087678387?mt=2Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7IMIzpYehTqeUa1d9EC4jTAnd be sure to help support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month at https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Learn more about your ad choices.

Academy Award-winning actor Eddie Redmayne has been nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Tobias Lindholm's "The Good Nurse." Redmayne plays Charles Cullen, an experienced nurse convicted of killing over 40 people over 16 years at various hospitals. It's one of the most against-type, chilling performances the actor has ever done. Redmayne was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his character, his respect for nurses, working with Jessica Chastain, and more. Please take a listen down below and enjoy!

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Zoe Rose Bryant, Josh Parham, Lauren Cohen, Dan Bayer & Nadia Dalimonte. This week we're reviewing the latest film from actress turned director Sarah Polley, "Women Talking" starring Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Judith Ivey, Sheila McCarthy, Michelle McLeod, Kate Hallett, Liv McNeil, August Winter, Ben Whishaw & Frances McDormand. With a perfect ensemble, some of the most thought-provoking writing of the year, and incredibly beautiful and sensitive direction, the film has established itself as one of the best of the year, propelling Sarah Polley into the Oscar conversation in a major way.

"Alice, Darling" had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and is now being released in Los Angeles with a 2022 awards qualifying run before expanding into AMC Theaters nationwide on January 20th, 2023. The film features one of Academy Award-nominee Anna Kendrick's best performances to date as a woman looking to spend time with her closest friends on a weekend vacation but cannot escape her psychologically abusive boyfriend. Anna was kind enough to spend some time with us talking about her role in the film in preparation for its screening at this year's Palm Springs Film Festival. This interview was originally conducted for the Desert Sun, and we thank them for the use of it. Please take a listen down below and enjoy!
