The Next Best Picture Podcast

Though the film may have received a mixed reception since its premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, composer Trevor Gureckis' score for "The Goldfinch" was continuously pointed out as a highlight. A new sound in the world of composing this decade, Trevor previously worked alongside Phillip Glass and Kanye West before moving full time to film score composing. More of his work can be heard on Apple TV's newest show "Servant," Netflix's "Bloodline" and the upcoming sci-fi Neil Burger film "Voyagers." Trevor was kind enough to talk to us about his work on "The Goldfinch" which we would argue is sublime and should not be discounted for awards consideration.

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/NextBestPicture For this month's review, Michael Schwartz, Casey Lee Clark, Dan Bayer and I are back during this holiday season to discuss "She Loves Me." Inspired by Miklós László’s Parfumerie, the show follows in the tradition of "The Shop Around the Corner" and "In the Good Old Summertime" by placing the classic Hungarian play in a new context. With a score by the legendary Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock, accompanied by a perfect Joe Masteroff book, "She Loves Me" has stood the test of time to remain one of the most perfect musical comedies to ever grace the Broadway stage. So why does it still feel underrated? We explore that and many other questions and themes around this musical gem. A terrific way to kick off the holiday season.

Mark Duplass has had a successful career with a fair share of decent performances but for this specific interview, he's not interested in talking about himself.

He expresses why he believes Ray's work deserves to be up for awards consideration, his thoughts on the current state of how awards season is run and more. It's the most selfless interview you'll hear all year. Take a listen. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

With scores for "Take Shelter," "Midnight Special," "Brigsby Bear" and the Emmy winning HBO show "Barry," he has certainly made himself known to us and now he's back with Scott Z.
