The Next Best Picture Podcast

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Zoe Rose Bryant, Dan Bayer, Tom O'Brien, and guest Murtada Elfadl. Together we're reviewing the newest film from director Todd Field after a sixteen-year absence, "TÁR," starring Cate Blanchett, Noémie Merlant, Nina Hoss, Sophie Kauer, Julian Glover, Allan Corduner & Mark Strong. The film has spurred many conversations around its themes about cancel culture, Cate Blanchett's towering performance, and Field's direction. What did we think of the film? Tune in below as we discuss all of these points in our SPOILER-FILLED review, along with its Oscar potential.

"Triangle Of Sadness" is one of the year's most entertaining films. After winning the Palme d'Or at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, audiences are finally getting the chance to experience Ruben Östlund's scathingly vicious takedown of the rich and powerful in his first English-language film. One of the many reasons why the film works as well as it does is because of the character Abigail, played by Filipina actress Dolly De Leon. She was kind enough to spend time talking with me about her role in the film, how she came on board, working with the late Charlbi Dean, what she has coming up next, and more! Please make sure to see the film now playing in theaters with the biggest crowd you can; take a listen down below 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.

For Episode 313, I am joined by Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Will Mavity. For this week's show, we are talking about the beginning of the 2022 New York Film Festival (NYFF), where "White Noise" fits into the Oscar race, and Danielle Deadwyler's chances to crack the Best Actress lineup for her performance in "Till." We also give our reactions to the trailers for "Bones And All," "Aftersun," and "Raymond & Ray," go over the polls, answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Please take a listen down below.

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Josh Parham & Dan Bayer. Together we're reviewing the newest film from Nicholas Stoller, "Bros," starring Billy Eichner, Luke Macfarlane, Harvey Fierstein, Ts Madison, Monica Raymund, Guillermo Díaz, Guy Branum, Amanda Bearse, Jim Rash & Bowen Yang. The first major studio film with an all-gay cast, the romantic comedy, written by Stoller and Eichner, is making history and knows it too as it presents a modern rom-com that understands the LGBTQ+ history that came before it and what will hopefully come after its release. What did we think of the characters, the writing, the jokes, and how it portrays gay romantic relationships? Please take a listen down below and enjoy!

"God's Creatures" is the first time filmmakers and frequent collaborators Sales Davis and Anna Rose Holmer share directorial credit on a film. Following their previous film, "The Fits," the duo are one of the most exciting pairs working in the field today, and that continues with this psychological drama that premiered earlier this year at Cannes. Davis and Rose Holmer were kind enough to talk with us about directing the three main performances from Emily Watson, Paul Mescal, and Aisling Franciosi, how much of a vital role sound plays in the film, and what they have coming up next. We hope you will check out the film, which is now playing in theaters and available on demand from A24. Please take a listen down below.

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Sara Clements, Josh Parham, Eve O'Dea & Dan Bayer. Together we're reviewing the latest film from director Andrew Dominik Wilde, "Blonde," starring Ana de Armas, Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale, Xavier Samuel & Julianne Nicholson. The much-anticipated (or, in some cases, dreaded) fictional biopic film on Marilyn Monroe is finally streaming on Netflix and has brought up much controversy related to its NC-17 rating. What did we ultimately think of the filmmaking, Ana de Armas' performance, the writing, and graphic content? We discuss all of these points and more in our review, which you can listen to down below.

For this week's show, we are previewing the beginning of the 2022 New York Film Festival (NYFF), discussing Michelle Williams' switch from Best Supporting Actress to Best Actress for "The Fabelmans," talking about the Best International Feature Film Oscar race, and giving our reactions to the trailers for "Bardo," "Strange World" and "Knock At The Cabin."

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Eve O'Dea & Danilo Castro. Together we're reviewing the latest film from Olivia Wilde, "Don't Worry Darling," starring Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, Chris Pine & Olivia Wilde herself. Steeped in behind-the-scenes controversy where many don't know what's real or not (much like the lead character in the film), the film has garnered a lot of publicity, but what did we ultimately think of it? Tune in as we discuss the characters, story, crafts, and divisive ending in our spoiler-free review.

The 74th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held last week at the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, on September 12th. Unfortunately, I missed watching the show live because I was at the Toronto International Film Festival, but I wouldn't miss the chance to podcast about the show and its winners for the world. Here to join me to talk about everything that happened, including some brief thoughts on some new shows we've been watching, such as "House Of The Dragon," "The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power," and "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law," I have Zoe Rose Bryant. This will be our last Next Best Series Podcast episode until after the Oscars. We're planning to come back with exclusive review shows for "House Of The Dragon" and a few others, so stay tuned for that. We thank you for all of your support and hope you enjoy it!

"Goodnight Mommy" is a remake of the 2014 Austrian horror film of the same name and stars Naomi Watts in the lead role. The film is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Director Matt Sobel was kind enough to spend a few moments talking with us about his work on the film, including how he came on board the project, working with Naomi Watts, and what it was like having to live up to the original film and make it his own. We hope you will check out the film and take a listen down below.
