Next Best Picture Podcast

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Josh Parham & Cody Dericks to review and discuss the American remake of the 2022 Danish film "Speak No Evil," also titled "Speak No Evil" starring James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy, Aisling Franciosi, Alix West Lefler, Dan Hough, Kris Hichen & Motaz Mulhees. Written and directed by James Watkins, this Blumhouse-produced remake is highly similar to the original film until its finale. What did we think of it? How do the two films compare? What did we think of the performances? Will horror fans enjoy this or be let down by its blow-burn pacing? Tune in as we discuss these elements and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

For Episode 46 of The Next Best Series Podcast, I'm joined by Giovanni Lago & Daniel Howat. It feels like yesterday when we discussed our final winner predictions for the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, handed out on January 15th. Now, we are back again so soon to discuss who we think will win at the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which h are scheduled to take place on September 15th. The Creative Arts Emmy Award winners have already been announced, and this conversation was recorded a few days ago before they took place, so excuse us if some of the content discussed is no longer relevant. We hope you enjoy us arguing who we think will win in the writing, directing, acting, and series categories. Will "The Bear" repeat? Are "Baby Reindeer" and "Shogun" set to dominate? Please tune in and find out. We'll return with a reaction episode to the winners after the ceremony! Until then, thank you, as always, for listening.

And that's a wrap on the 2024 Telluride Film Festival. Following our preview podcast from our hotel room the other day, Will Mavity, J Don Birnam, and I sat in the park on the final day of the festival during the Labor Day Picnic (sorry for all of the background noise) to give you our rundown of the films we saw at the film festival if they were worth checking out, and if we feel any of them are Oscar contenders. From world premieres such as "Conclave," "Saturday Night," "Piece By Piece," "The Piano Lesson," and "Nickel Boys," to Sundance and Cannes favorites "The Outrun," "A Real Pain," "Anora" and "Emilia Pérez," to Venice crossovers such as "Maria," and "September 5," to hidden gems like "Memoir Of A Snail" we've got you covered. We hope you enjoy our quick recap.

As we did with our Telluride Film Festival podcast the other day, I called Ema Sasic over at the Venice International Film Festival to talk about her experience so far, what movies she's seen, and if she has seen any Oscar contenders. Tune in as we discuss "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," "Maria," "The Brutalist," "Babygirl," and many other world premieres taking part at the festival.

We thought we'd do something different this year. Traditionally, we do one single episode discussing the Telluride Film Festival lineup as we drive over, and then there are some conversations regarding Venice and TIFF before we have our final Telluride recap conversation on the drive to the airport. This year, we're breaking things up into pieces for you all to digest as the Labor weekend goes on. For now, please take a listen to Will Mavity, J Don Birnam, and me as we discuss the official lineup for the 2024 Telluride Film Festival from our hotel room. We will be back to discuss the films we saw early next week.

"Slingshot" is a new sci-fi drama starring Casey Affleck, Laurence Fishburne, Emily Beecham, Tomer Capone, David Morrissey & Mark Ebulué. The film, directed by Swedish filmmaker Mikael Håfström, known for his diverse filmography, including the Oscar-nominated "Evil," "Derailed," "1408," "The Rite," and "Escape Plan," Is a unique blend of psychological drama and space thriller. With its psychological storytelling and clever use of visual effects, the film takes us on a gripping journey as an astronaut struggles to maintain his grip on reality aboard a possibly fatally compromised mission to Saturn's moon. Håfström was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about the film, which you can listen to below.

"The Supremes At Earl's All-You-Can-Eat" is one of the year's most wholesome films as it tells a story of friendship amongst a trio of women over several decades with fantastic performances from its ensemble cast, which includes Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Sanaa Lathan & Uzo Aduba. Kyanna Simone, Tati Gabrielle, and Abigail Achiri, who play the younger versions of these actresses' characters in the film, were kind enough to spend some time talking with me about their experiences making the film, while Nadia Dalimonte interviewed the film's costume designer, Whitney Anne Adams, about the film's many styles, colors and looks. Please listen to the interviews below and be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Hulu.
