The Next Best Series Podcast: Episode 46 - Our Final 2024 Emmy Award Winner Predictions
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. We hope you enjoy this free full-length episode!

And that's a wrap on the 2024 Telluride Film Festival.

Live From The 2024 Telluride Film Festival - Part 1
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. Thank you, and enjoy!

Interviews With "Strange Darling" Star Willa Fitzgerald, Director/Writer JT Mollner & Cinematographer Giovanni Ribisi
"Strange Darling" had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2023 in Austin, Texas, where it received enthusiastic reviews for its non-linear narrative, performances from Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner, and actor-turned-cinematographer Giovanni Ribisi's gorgeous 35mm photography. Director/Writer JT Mollner, Ribisi, and Fitzgerald were all kind enough to spend some time with me talking about their experiences making the film and its themes while carefully avoiding spoilers (this is the kind of movie you want to go in as blindly as possible).

"The King's Speech"
THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture
Our 2010 retrospective has come to an end. We say goodbye with that year's Oscar Best Picture winner, "The King's Speech," starring Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce & Timothy Spall. Directed by Tom Hooper and brilliantly written by David Seidler, the inspiring true story is among the hotly debated Best Picture winners of all time. While the merits of its Oscar wins are certainly discussed, we primarily want to know how the film holds up on its own fourteen years later. Join Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham, Alyssa Christian, Dan Bayer, and me as we discuss our thoughts on the performances, writing, direction, cinematography, its awards season success, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. It's been a fun retrospective, and we hope you'll go back and listen to our reviews for "Black Swan," "The Town," "The Fighter," "Toy Story 3," "Winter's Bone," "127 Hours," "Blue Valentine," "The Kids Are All Right," "Inception" and former reviews for "The Social Network," and "True Grit." Please be sure to take a look at the winners of the NBP Film Community and NBP Film Awards for 2010. I would like to give a final thank you to all of you, the dear listeners of Next Best Picture. We appreciate your support and hope you have had as great of a time with this retrospective as we have. Enjoy!

Interview With "Baby Reindeer" Episode 4 Director Weronika Tofilska
"Baby Reindeer" became a cultural phenomenon seemingly overnight. With minimal early buzz before its release, the Netflix limited series exploded and became one of the most talked about and praised shows of 2024, earning eleven Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. For many who binge-watched it, Episode 4 marked a turning point that took the already dark show to even darker and more complex depths, which resonated with audiences on a deeply personal and profound level. Director Weronika Tofilska, who also directed Episodes 1-3, was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her Emmy-nominated episode and experience making the show, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the show, which is available to stream in full on Netflix and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories for this year's Emmy Awards. Thank you, and enjoy!

"Black Swan"
Our 2010 retrospective continues with our penultimate review of Darren Aronofsky's psychological horror film "Black Swan" starring Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey & Winona Ryder. Acting as almost a companion piece with Aronofsky's previous film, "The Wrestler" (2008), the film examines the demands of perfection, the physical and emotional toll it takes on us, and the repression Nina experiences from her overbearing mother. It was a success at the box office, with critics, and during awards season, winning Natalie Portman the Academy Award for Best Actress. How does it hold up today? Join Josh Parham, Alyssa Christian, Dan Bayer, and me as we discuss our thoughts on the performances, writing, direction, cinematography, sound work, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

For this week's main podcast review, Giovanni Lago, Sara Clements, Josh Parham, & Tom O'Brien are reviewing the latest film from M.

Tune in as the team discusses the writing, performances, suspense, the craziness of the third act, Shyamalan's direction, and more in their SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

"Deadpool & Wolverine" is one of 2024's most anticipated films. Arriving at a time when the MCU so desperately needs a shot in its arm, the third "Deadpool" film brings Hugh Jackman's Wolverine back from the dead after his Oscar-nominated send-off in 2017's "Logan" to combat a new threat, but not before they tear and claw into each other first. Executive Producer Wendy Jacobson and Marvel Studios President and Producer Kevin Feige were kind enough to lend me a few minutes to speak with me about the film following a preview I saw of the film's first act. Please be sure to check out the film, which is opening this weekend in theaters on July 26th from Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy!

Interview With "Young Woman And The Sea" Composer Amelia Warner
"Young Woman And The Sea" was released in theaters for a limited theatrical run earlier this year and is now widely available to be streamed on Disney+. Scoring some of the highest test scores in the studio's history, the inspirational true story of Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle is backed by a rousing, gorgeous score by English composer Amelia Warner. A few days after watching the film in theaters and being so captivated by the score, I tracked down Warner to speak with her about what I consider to be one of the year's best film scores. She was very gracious with her time, diving into her inspirations, working with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, her opinions on the current landscape of film scoring, and more. Please be sure to check out the film, too, which is now available to stream on Disney+. Thank you, and enjoy!

Interview With “Made In England: The Films Of Powell And Pressburger” Director David Hinton & Executive Producer Thelma Schoonmaker
“Made In England: The Films Of Powell And Pressburger” had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year, where it received rave reviews for delving into the films and careers of two of the greatest storytellers the medium as ever known: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. From “Black Narcissus” to “The Red Shoes,” to “A Matter of Life and Death,” to “The Tales of Hoffmann,” their collaboration inspired a generation and is still revered for their daring artistry to this day. Director David Hinton and Executive Producer Thelma Schoonmaker (and Powell’s widow wife) were both kind enough to spend a few minutes answering questions about the documentary, which is now playing at Quad Cinema in New York City and will open in Los Angeles at the Landmark’s Nuart Theater on July 26th with a national rollout to occur afterward.

Miller, the show follows the actions of the 100th Bomb Group, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber unit in the Eighth Air Force in eastern England during World War II. Actor Callum Turner, who plays Major John "Bucky" Egan, Visual Effects Supervisor Xavier Matia Bernasconi, and Virtual Production Executive Steve Jelly were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work on the show. Please be sure to check out the limited series, which is available to stream in full on Apple TV+ and is up for your consideration in all Emmy categories. Thank you, and enjoy!

Interview With "I'm A Virgo" Actor Jharrel Jerome
Jharrel Jerome made Emmy history when he won television's top prize for his work in Ava DuVernay's "When They See Us." Just 21 years old, Jerome became the youngest person to win Lead Actor in a Limited Series and the first Afro-Latino actor to be nominated for and win an Emmy in any category. Five years later, Jerome has returned to the awards race, playing a 13-foot-tall man in Boots Riley's genre-bending "I'm a Virgo." The "Sorry to Bother You" filmmaker turns to television with a coming-of-age story that is equal parts heart-warming, thought-provoking, and evocative. A sharp satire about capitalism, race, and media (among many other things), Jerome infuses the many turns of Riley's script with empathy, tenderness, and seriously impressive range. In conversation with Next Best Picture, Jerome is deep in thought, and his curiosity and humanity as an actor and artist are on full display. He discusses capturing the psyche and physicality of a larger-than-life yet vulnerable character and trusting in Riley's vision for "I'm a Virgo," a collaboration that has yielded some of the year's best television. Please be sure to check out "I'm a Virgo," which is available to stream on Prime Video and is up for your consideration in all eligible Emmy categories. Thank you, and enjoy!

"Toy Story 3"
THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL EPISODE. Please check out the full podcast episode on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture
Our 2010 retrospective continues with the third film in the "Toy Story" franchise, the ultra-popular, critically successful, and Academy Award-winning animated film "Toy Story 3," starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty, Don Rickles, Michael Keaton, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Estelle Harris, and John Morris. Heralded as a beloved classic at the time of its release, the film (at the time) brought a close to the journey of the toys we had come to know and love on screen for fifteen years and their relationship with their owner, Andy. The result was one of Pixar's greatest triumphs to date in storytelling and eliciting tears from its audience. How does it hold up fourteen years later? What's our relationship with the franchise? Please tune in and listen to Nadia Dalimonte, Josh Parham, and I discuss our thoughts on the writing, voice performances, classical film homages, tone, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for all your support, and enjoy!

A Behind The Scenes Look At "Silo"
Premiering May of 2023, "Silo," the new sci-fi Apple TV+ series that launched as the highest-rated drama debut on the platform, defies what you think it is. It is cerebral, bold science fiction, excitedly blending elements of murder mystery, western, and dystopian conspiracy with a post-apocalyptic world, and Rebecca Ferguson leads as a reluctant gearhead sheriff with an attitude problem. I recently had the chance to do a deep-dive with many on the production team, talking with screenwriter Graham Yost, director Morten Tyldum, cinematographer Mark Patten, composer Atli Örvarsson, and production designer Gavin Bocquet on what went into making this beautiful, compelling sci-fi mystery-drama. Please take a listen and be sure to check out "Silo," which is now available to stream on Apple TV+ and is up for your consideration in all eligible Emmy categories. Enjoy!

How does it play on Netflix compared to watching it in a theater? What did we think of the writing, performances, the sexual chemistry between its two leads, and the twisted ending? Tune in as we discuss these points, its awards season potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

Interview With "Masters Of The Air" & "Manhunt" Actor Anthony Boyle
Anthony Boyle has taken over Apple TV+. The Irish star, previously best known for roles in The "The Plot Against America," "Tolkien," and "Tetris," stars in two Emmy-contending limited series for the streamer. In the World War II epic "Masters Of The Air," Boyle is Air Force Lieutenant Harry Crosby, a good man determined to get his boys home safely, with Boyle's narration grounding the lush, character and CGI-heavy series. But Boyle's talent truly shines in the stark contrast between his roles. In "Manhunt," he takes on the infamous American villain John Wilkes Booth, a role that required a completely different physicality and mental preparation from the Olivier-winning theater actor turned TV star. In conversation with Boyle, what stands out most is not just his impressive range, finally on proper display for American audiences, but also the careful consideration Boyle took in crafting these intimate portrayals. Please be sure to check out the shows, which are now available to stream on AppleTV+ and are up for your consideration in all eligible Emmy categories. Thank you, and enjoy!

Interview With "In A Violent Nature" Director/Writer Chris Nash
"In A Violent Nature" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it received strong notices for its direction by Chris Nash, which takes the approach of telling a slasher film from the perspective of the serial killer rather than the victims. The film disgusted audiences with its brutal and highly meticulous kills and is now being released in theaters by IFC Films, with a streaming release on Shudder set for later this year. Nash was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his feature directorial debut. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in limited release in the U.S. by IFC Films on May 31st. Thank you, and enjoy!

"Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga"
For this week's main podcast review, Josh Parham and I recorded our review for George Miller's "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" shortly after watching the film at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it had its world premiere. Because this was such a large film and we didn't want to leave other members of the NBP team out, we asked those who wanted to contribute their thoughts to record themselves separately and send them in. So, throughout our SPOILER-FILLED review, you will also hear from Ema Sasic and Brendan Hodges. Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, Alyla Browne, Lachy Hulme, Nathan Jones, Charlee Fraser, Josh Helman, John Howard & Angus Sampson, the anticipated prequel to the Oscar-winning "Mad Max: Fury Road" finds George Miller back in the desert again giving us another entry in the "Mad Max" franchise. What did we think of the story, performances, action set pieces, and the bonkers glorious craftsmanship on display? Tune in as we discuss these elements, its awards potential, and more in our review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

Interview With "Loki" Actress Sophia Di Martino
"Loki" was a huge success for Marvel and Disney+ when it was released in 2021. Not many expected to get a second season since it was initially billed as a limited series.

However, one of the newest characters introduced nearly stole the spotlight from everyone's favorite Asgardian god, and that was his variant, Sylvie, played by Sophia Di Martino. The English actress was kind enough to spend a few minutes with us discussing her role in season 2 and what she hopes for from the character in the future.

Interview With "Love Lies Bleeding" Star Katy O'Brian & Director Rose Glass
"Love Lies Bleeding" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it received strong reviews for its neo-noir influence, muscular direction from Rose Glass, and performances from Kristen Stewart & Katy O'Brian. Glass and O'Brian were kind enough to lend us some of their time to discuss what went into the making of the film including its violence, romantic on-screen chemistry, memorable ending (which is spoiled so if you have not seen the film yet, come back and take a listen later), what they have planned next in their careers and more. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters by A24 on March 8th before expanding wide on March 15th. Thank you, and enjoy!

"Dune: Part Two"
For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks, Giovanni Lago & Daniel Howat. Today, we are reviewing the latest film from Denis Villeneuve, "Dune: Part Two," starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, Souheila Yacoub, Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling & Javier Bardem. Continuing after 2021's Oscar-winning "Dune" (or "Dune: Part One"), the second half of the story brings Frank Herbert's classic 1965 sci-fi novel to life in a way many thought we would never see. Shot on a grand scale, with massive production value, and shown on the largest screens in the world in IMAX, it has kicked off 2024 with a bang as the movie event of the year so far. Such an epic film deserves an epic review, and that's what we're here to give you in our SPOILER-FILLED conversation where we discuss Villeneuve's directing, adaptation of the source material, the performances, the craftsmanship, its awards season chances, and more. Thank you for listening, as always. We hope you enjoy it!

A Behind The Scenes Look At "Oppenheimer"
"Oppenheimer" has been the toast of the 2023-2024 awards season, receiving a leading total of thirteen Academy Award nominations and winning (as of this writing) the Critics Choice and Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture. Christopher Nolan's latest masterpiece is a technical behemoth where every department worked at the top of their game to bring J. Robert Oppenheimer's story to life on the largest scale possible, impressively shot in IMAX. The Next Best Picture team was fortunate to speak with many of the Oscar-nominated craft members throughout this awards season. First, we have my interview with cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, followed by Brendan Hodges' interview with the film's editor, Jennifer Lame, and sound designer, Richard King. Then we have Will Mavity's interview with makeup and hairstylist Luisa Abel. We then go back to Brendan for his talk with production designer Ruth De Jong, and we finally end with Will again speaking with costume designer Ellen Mirojnick. Each has a story to tell; each gave this movie everything they had. We hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the film, which is now available to stream on Peacock and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at this year's Academy Awards. Thank you!

Today, we are reviewing the feature directorial debut of Zelda Williams with "Lisa Frankenstein" starring Kathryn Newton, Cole Sprouse, Liza Soberano, Henry Eikenberry, Joe Chrest & Carla Gugino.

"Godzilla Minus One"
As we attempt to catch up with all of the Oscar-nominated films, one that escaped our regular podcast schedule upon its theatrical release here in the U.S. was Takashi Yamazaki's critically acclaimed "Godzilla Minus One" starring Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, Yuki Yamada & Kuranosuke Sasaki. With many calling it the best Godzilla film ever made, the Japanese film has been an international success with crossover appeal and has received an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects. What did we think of the story, the characters and performances, the action sequences and visual effects, and, of course, how one of cinema's most iconic figures was presented to a modern-day audience?

"Memento"
THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture
For our latest throwback review, we remember the film that substantially accelerated Christopher Nolan's career, his innovative, indie breakout and Oscar-nominated hit film "Memento" starring Guy Pearce, Carrie-Ann Moss, Joe Pantoliano, Mark Boone Junior, Stephen Tobolowsky, Harriet Sansom Smith, Larry Holden & Callum Keith Rennie. Based on a short story credited to his brother Jonathan Nolan, the film was highly praised at the time of its release for its creative narrative structure, which has continued to mesmerize audiences over twenty years after its release. Many of the recurring themes in Nolan's work and stylistic choices can be traced back to this film, which broke new ground and ushered in a new era of his filmmaking career, which led to a partnership with Warner Bros. With the success of "Oppenheimer," similar featuring black and white sequences and an unconventional narrative structure, find out what Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Brendan Hodges and I had to say about the film's writing, direction, performances, awards season run and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review!

"Origin"
For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Daniel Howat. Today, we are reviewing the latest film from Ava DuVernay, "Origin," starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Audra McDonald, Niecy Nash-Betts, Nick Offerman & Blair Underwood. Making its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Lion, the dramatic adaptation of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson's life and novel "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" was one of 2023's most unique and powerful films. What did we think of it? Should it have been made into a documentary instead of a feature film? How do we feel about its awards season campaign? Tune in as we discuss these points, the writing, direction, acting, its Oscar potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you, and enjoy!

Episode 377 - Our Final Oscar Nomination Predictions & The "Abigail" Trailer
For Episode 377, I am joined by Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks, Daniel Howat & Giovanni Lago. It's a massive episode this week! Because Cody and I will be at Sundance starting Wednesday this week, we're delivering our final Oscar nomination predictions earlier than expected to you all following the nominations for PGA, DGA, and SAG, but without the final BAFTA nominations. Hopefully, our over-analysis of each Oscar category is enough to overcome this roadblock, and you'll enjoy listening to us argue, debate, and advocate for who we think will be nominated on January 23rd. We also go over the polls, give our reactions to the trailer for "Abigail," answer some of your fan-submitted questions (many questions are indirectly answered in our epic conversation), and more! Thank you all for your continued support. We hope you enjoy this week's episode, and we'll see you again after the Oscar nominations!

Interview With Director/Writer Greta Gerwig & A Behind The Scenes Look At "Barbie"
"Barbie" became a cultural phenomenon in 2023, becoming the year's highest-grossing film and the highest-grossing film ever directed by a woman.
