    The 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held last night, our second Emmy Awards show this year! I was joined by Daniel Howat and Giovanni Lago moments following the show to discuss the winners from last night's ceremony. We expected three shows, "Shogun," "The Bear," and "Baby Reindeer," to dominate the evening just like how "Succession," "The Bear," and "Beef" did earlier this year. Did that exactly happen? Please tune in to find out as we discuss the show's presentation, the hosts Eugene and Dan Levy, the speeches, shocking wins, and more in our instant reactions podcast. This will be our last Next Best Series Podcast episode until after the Oscars. We plan to return with more exclusive episodes for our Patreon subscribers then. We thank you for all of your support and hope you enjoy it! See you soon!

  • For Episode 408, Ema Sasic, Dan Bayer, Nadia Dalimonte & Giovanni Lago, and I are back to deliver our final recap of the 81st Venice Film Festival and our massive, probably too extensive recap of the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. We have a ton of movies to get through, so we won't be reacting to trailers for this week, but hopefully, when you're finished listening, you have a complete picture of everything that played at all the fall film festivals as awards season kicks off! Movies discussed include "The Life Of Chuck," "The Brutalist," "Joker: Folie à Deux," "Eden," "Saturday Night," "The Room Next Door," "We Live In Time," "Queer," "Nightbitch," "The Wild Robot," "Anora," "Emilia Pérez" and many, many more. We also go over the winners of last week's poll, asking, "Which Film From The 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Do You Think Will Win The People's Choice Award?" ask this week's poll question, "Which World Premieres From The 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Are You Most Looking Forward To?" answer your fan-submitted questions and more. Thank you all so very much for listening, supporting, and subscribing. We hope you enjoy this week's epic episode.

  • 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. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

  • 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. 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. Thank you!

  • 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!

  • "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. Please be sure to check out the film which opens in theaters on August 30th from Bleecker Street. Thank you, and enjoy!

  • "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. Thank you, and enjoy!

  • "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). Don't miss the chance to see this unique thriller from Magenta Light Studios in theaters now. Thank you, and enjoy!

    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!

  • "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!

Emmy-nominated cinematographer Catherine Goldschmidt, who we previously interviewed for Season 1, returned to the podcast to discuss her work on Episodes 3 ("The Burning Mill") and Episode 8 ("The Queen Who Ever Was").

Tune in as we discuss the callbacks, action, horror, performances, writing, the hotly debated resurrection of a character, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
