"The Creator" contained one of the most fascinating productions of 2023 as it was shot uncommonly compared to other studio-backed sci-fi blockbusters of today to keep its budget low.

Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPictureLast night, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) held their 30th annual awards ceremony, rewarding the best acting in film and television for 2023.

There were some expected wins, unexpected wins, moving speeches, and one very interesting shakeup in one of the acting races as we head into the final days of Oscar voting, which concludes on February 27th.
