"Under The Bridge" follows the true crime murder of Reena Virk, based upon the book of the same name by Rebecca Godfrey. Developed by Quinn Shephard, the series drew acclaim for its direction, writing, and performances from its cast. One of those cast members is Javon Walton, who, following the success of his role as Ashtray in "Euphoria," has gone on to star in "Utopia," "The Umbrella Academy" and now "Under The Bridge" as Warren Glowatski. An actor and professional boxer, the young seventeen-year-old has a bright future ahead of him, and he was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work on the miniseries, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the show, which is now available to stream on Hulu and is up for your consideration in all eligible Emmy categories. Thank you, and enjoy!

"The Bikeriders" had its world premiere at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival, where it was initially supposed to be released in theaters by 20th Century Studios. A few months later, the distribution was passed over to Focus Features, and now, almost a full year later and eight years since the release of his last feature film, we finally have a new movie from writer/director Jeff Nichols. One of the most accomplished and beloved storytellers working today, Nichols always manages to find the humanity in his characters as he plunges them into depths of moral complexity set against the backdrop of rural areas and here does so yet again with his biggest budget and cast to date. Making his debut on the Next Best Picture Podcast, Nichols was kind enough to talk with us about his latest film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters this weekend from Focus Features. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

"Shōgun" has become one of the most talked-about and acclaimed shows of 2024 since it premiered on FX earlier this year. Nominated already for Gotham TV and Television Critics Association Awards, the show is an epic transportation to a time and a place in history with a grand sense of scale rarely seen in television. To create the sound of the world, 16-time Academy Award-nominated Sound Effects Mixer Greg P. Russell, Oscar-winning Dialogue Mixer Steve Pederson, and Emmy-nominated Supervising Sound Editor Bryan Armstrong had a daunting task ahead of them, but they all rose to the challenge, creating one of the best sounding shows of 2024.

"Ghostlight" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its writing, direction, and performances, especially from character actor Keith Kupferer. Having worked in the business for over twenty years, his role in Kelly O'Sullivan and Alex Thompson's latest film is his brightest moment in an already splendid career. Acting opposite his own family, the film highlights the importance of art, specifically community theatre, as a means of love and healing when we most need it.

"Masters Of The Air" premiered on Apple TV+ at the beginning of the year, earning strong reviews for its storytelling, performances, and incredible craftsmanship, rightfully earning its place alongside the legendary WWII miniseries "Band of Brothers" (2001) and "The Pacific" (2010). Based on the 2007 book by Donald L. 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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

"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.

Nash was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his feature directorial debut.
