The Next Best Picture Podcast

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). Thank you for all your support, and enjoy! Also, be sure to check out our other 2011 retrospective reviews for "War Horse," "The Help," "The Iron Lady," "Midnight In Paris," "The Tree Of Life," "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," & "Moneyball."

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. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
