The Next Best Picture Podcast

"Cowboys" premiered earlier this year at NewFest 2020 and tells the story of a father and his transgender son living in the Montana wilderness after his wife refused to accept their son. The film stars Steve Zahn, Jillian Bell, Sasha Knight and Ann Dowd and has been circulating under the radar. But make no mistake, this is one of the best hidden gems you are likely to see all year. Writer and director Anna Kerrigan was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking to us about the film and we hope you'll give it a listen and seek this movie out. It is now currently available on VOD and Virtual Cinemas.

"Supernova" is currently BAFTA longlisted for Outstanding British Film & Supporting Actor for Stanley Tucci.

"Greyhound" may have come out earlier this year but it has been able to stand out amongst a crowded Oscar season for having some of the bigger production values seen in any movie this year. Its visual effects work is the kind of large blockbuster filmmaking that audiences are sorely missing in their lives right now and with tomorrow's visual effects shortlist to be announced by the Academy, we have a feeling the work from Apple's WWII submarine movie starring Tom Hanks, will make the cut. VFX supervisors Nathan McGuiness and Pete Bebb were kind enough to spend some time talking about their experience of making the film.
