The Next Best Picture Podcast

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 Episode 312, I am joined by Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham, Nadia Dalimonte & Will Mavity. 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." We also go over the polls, answer your fan-submitted questions, and much more. It's a very fun episode, and we hope you enjoy it.

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.

After taking a week off due to the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) we're back to give you all a massive update on the Oscar race with a rundown of all of the films we saw at TIFF. We also discuss the recent Academy news regarding the 95th ceremony, the trailers for "The Fabelmans," "Babylon," "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" & "Decision To Leave," go over the polls, answer your fan-submitted questions and much more.

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham & Cody Dericks. Together we're reviewing the latest film from Gina Prince-Bythewood, "The Woman King," starring Viola Davis, Thuso Mbedu, Lashana Lynch, Sheila Atim & John Boyega. A historical action epic set in Africa featuring strong, powerful, Black women in the lead roles is something you do not see coming out of the Hollywood studio system every day. What did we think of it? Tune in below as we discuss the story, characters, action, historical inaccuracies, crafts, and more in our review.

"See How They Run" is one of the more impressive directorial debuts from 2022. Director Tom George and screenwriter Mark Chappell are a match made in heaven as they take the "Whodunnit" genre and flip it on its head with a tribute to the work of Agatha Christie that is a deceptively modern, meta, and vastly entertaining murder mystery in its own right. Tom was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about his work on the film, working with the cast, crafting a compelling murder mystery in 2022, and more.

"God's Country" had its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, where it received positive notices for its direction, writing, and lead performance from Emmy Award-winning actress Thandiwe Newton ("Westworld"). Director and co-writer Jullian Higgins was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about the film's themes, working with Thandiwe, and more. We hope you will check out the film, which is opening in theaters this weekend, and take a listen down below.

"Speak No Evil" had its world premiere, digitally, at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, where it shocked and terrified audiences with its dark humor, which grows more sinister and more threatening until the cringe comedy is completely erased, and all that is left is stomach-churning horror. One of the stand-out films from the festival, it's been playing in limited release in New York and Los Angeles but will now be available to stream on Shudder starting September 16th. Director and writer Christian Tafdrup was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about the film (both without spoilers and with indicated spoilers for those who do not wish to know where this twisted film goes). We hope you will check out the film (if you can handle it) and take a listen down below.
