The Next Best Picture Podcast

For this week's main podcast review, we have a full lineup of people eager to talk about the year's most controversial film. I'm joined by Josh Parham, Kt Schaefer, Dan Bayer, Lauren LaMagna, Cody Dericks & Danilo Castro. Together, we all give our wide range of thoughts, opinions and criticisms on Todd Phillips' latest film "Joker" starring Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Gotham City. There is so much to discuss with this one that we even provided a spoiler section at 1:30:51. As a side-note, I'm very proud and happy with everyone's contributions towards this particular review in an age where tensions are high and the discussion may not always be as civil. My hope is despite how you may feel about the movie, that you will appreciate the conversation and respect our feelings towards the film as well. Enjoy!

For this week's second podcast review, Daniel Howat, Tom O'Brien, guest Kevin Lee (from Film Inquiry) and I review the 2019 Palme d'Or winner "Parasite." Hailed as South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho's masterpiece, the film has gone on to become one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year (and probably of the decade), playing at various film festivals in the lead up to its October 11th theatrical release from NEON and being selected as South Korea's pick for the Best International Feature Film category at this year's Oscars. Some of us have had the opportunity to see the film early at a film festival and we will not be holding back on spoilers so, I urge you...if you have not already seen the film, DO NOT LISTEN IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE SPOILED.
