Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPictureOur 2011 retrospective continues this summer with David Fincher's American remake of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" starring Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, Christopher Plummer, Stellan Skarsgård, Steven Berkoff, Robin Wright, Yorick van Wageningen & Joely Richardson. Based on the based selling crime novel by Stieg Larsson, the book had already been made into a popular Swedish foreign language film in 2009. The film's dark tone, violent subject matter, and changes from the source material continue to be a point of contention.

"Biosphere" had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the less you know about this two-hander science fiction story starring Mark Duplass and Sterling K. Brown, the better. However, you should know that it received positive reviews and is quite unlike anything you've ever seen. First-time Director Mel Eslyn (who also co-wrote the screenplay with Duplass) was kind enough to discuss her feature directorial debut with us.

Our 2011 retrospective continues this summer with Alexander Payne's "The Descendants," starring George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller, Beau Bridges, Nick Krause, Judy Greer, Matthew Lillard & Robert Forster. Serving as Payne's follow-up to his Oscar-winning "Sideways," it proved he was an Academy darling as the film received five Oscar nominations and won Best Adapted Screenplay, Payne's second. Did it deserve its accolades then, and how do we feel about it now? Join Isaiah Washington, Patreon guests Danny Jarabek, Cheyne Nomura (a Hawaiian native), and me as we discuss the performances, setting, story, editing, awards season run, and more as fireworks boom in the background during our Fourth Of July holiday recording (Also, apologies, but I didn't have my normal microphone setup so the audio may be a bit lackluster for this review).

One of the most consistently funny shows out there is FX's "What We Do In The Shadows." While the writing and performances have received praise, the show's costumes and how they blend period and modern aesthetics to place these vampires in a contemporary setting is an underusing element that contains many subtle details from costume designer Laura Montgomery. A Primetime Emmy Award winner for the show's third season, Laura's work on season 4 is just as impressive, if not more so. She was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with us about her work on the show, which you can listen to down below. Please be sure to check out the show, which is now streaming on Hulu, with the fifth season arriving on July 13th.
