The Next Best Picture Podcast

For this week's main review, I am joined by Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Cody Dericks. Together, we are discussing the latest film from Netflix, "The Forty-Year-Old Version" starring, written, directed and produced by Radha Blank. Premiering earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival where Blank won the Best Directing prize, the film is a singular vision from a unique voice on the indie filmmaking scene and quote possibly, the breakout of the year. Take a listen to our thoughts as we discuss one of the year's most buzzed about independent films and the promise it shows for the film's creator.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.

We have a special sneak peak into the making of Pixar's "Soul" for you all to devour before its launch on Disney Plus on December 25th, 2020. We were lucky enough to have seen the first 40 minutes of the film and from that, we conducted a series of three separate interviews. We spoke with filmmakers Pete Docter (Director/Writer), Kemp Powers (Co-Director) and Dana Murray (Producer). Then we spoke with the Story Team: Kristen Lester (Story Supervisor), Michael Yates (Story Artist) & Aphton Corbin (Story Artist). And finally, the wonderful Animation Team who bring everything to life: Bobby Podesta (Animation Supervisor), Jude Brownbill (Animation Supervisor) & MontaQue Ruffin (Animator).

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPictureAs previously announced, we are diving back into the year 2016 with a few missing podcast reviews which we did not complete the year the site launched. This will culminate in NBP Film Community Awards and awards voted on by the staff towards the end of October. Next up is our review of the independent hit film "Captain Fantastic" starring Viggo Mortensen and a then unknown George MacKay. The film brings up an interesting debate on parenting and Josh Parham and I clashed over many aspects of the film in general. Who do you side with? Take a listen below and let us know what you think. Also check out our previous 2016 reviews of "20th Century Women" & "Paterson."
