The Next Best Picture Podcast

For this week's second podcast review, Kt Schaefer, Dan Bayer and myself discuss Ari Aster's follow-up to last year's breakout horror debut "Hereditary" with the ambitious and artfully made "Midsommar." Filled with excellent filmmaking, more commentary on grief, new commentary on relationships and a central performance from Florence Pugh which will surely catapult her to super stardom, "Midsommar" has a lot on its mind and so do we. Join us on this spoiler filled review as we discuss as much as we can about this terrifying, often hilarious and forever memorable horror film.

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 One of Pixar's most brilliant, creative and thoughtful ideas for a movie, if not ever, "Inside Out" stunned critics and audiences in 2015 with its imaginative production design, meta concept, excellent voice acting and more! How has it held up in the year's since its release and how does it stack up against other Pixar movies which have come out before and after? We go into all of this and more as our trip through 2015 continues. Joining me for this 2015 retrospective review I have Josh Parham, Daniel Bayer, Casey Lee Clark, Tom O'Brien and Patreon supporter Ryan Fecskovics.

Our main podcast review for this week is the sequel we didn't ask for and we thought we didn't need but now that it is here, we all realize just how wrong we all were and how we should once again, trust that Pixar knows what they are doing. "Toy Story 4" took a big risk in potentially tarnishing a universally beloved trilogy of films but Pixar has delivered once again, bringing about our favorite characters, introducing new ones and telling a story that needed to be told, closing out the story of Woody and the gang of toys once and for all(?). Tune in below as DeAnn Knighton, Josh Parham, and myself give you our full review plus a bonus spoiler section towards the end. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
