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 HBO's hotly anticipated "House Of The Dragon" had to follow the disastrous final season of "Game Of Thrones" by telling a prequel set hundreds of years before the events of that show based on George R.R. Martin's book "Fire And Blood" about the Targaryen dynasty. The show tells the story known as "The Dance Of Dragons," a Targaryen civil war that divided the realm and nearly brought the once almighty house to extinction. The show has received critical acclaim and has proved to be a ratings success for HBO. But, most importantly, it's won A Song Of Ice And Fire fans back to the world of Westeros as the first season just concluded, and audiences are eager to see the show return for its second season in (hopefully) spring 2024. What did we think of the first season, though? Tune in as Josh Parham, Zoe Rose Bryant, and returning guest Brendan Hodges joins me to discuss the characters, writing, visual effects, music, and more from a show we have a lot of criticism for but also a tremendous amount of love. We also cover what we hope to see in Season 2 and what we feel the show's Emmy potential might be given how massively successful "Game Of Thrones" was with the Television Academy.

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Nadia Dalimonte, and Tom O'Brien. Together we're reviewing the latest film from director/writer Martin McDonagh, "The Banshees Of Inisherin," starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon & Barry Keoghan. The film reunites McDonagh, Farrell, and Gleeson for the first time since "In Bruges" and is being called McDonagh's best film to date due to its scaled-back approach compared to "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," the dark humor, performances, writing and stunning use of the Irish landscapes. Tune in below as we discuss all of these elements, along with spoilers towards the end of the show, as we try to unpack the many layers to McDonagh's story and the film's Oscar potential.

"Till" had its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for Danielle Deadwyler's lead performance and the direction from Chinonye Chukwu. Chukwu had already impressed many of us a few years ago with her work on "Clemency." Still, here, she's telling a true, emotionally grueling story that needs to respect the family's wishes, be period accurate, and do it all without alienating the audience. How did she face all of these challenges? Please take a listen to our interview with her down below to find out. Enjoy, and thank you. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

"Decision To Leave" is one of the year's most buzzed-about films ever since its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. In the much-anticipated follow-up film to "The Handmaiden," writer/director Park Chan-wook has crafted a femme fatale romance with his usual quirky humor, twists, and precise filmmaking. He won the Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and the film has now been selected as South Korea's official submission for this year's Best International Feature Film Oscar race. Park Chan-wook and his leading man Park Hae-il were kind enough to chat with me about the film as they both discussed working with the film's leading actress Tang-Wei, and what it was like shooting the climatic scene on the beach during high tide, and more.

"Triangle Of Sadness" is one of the year's most entertaining films. After winning the Palme d'Or at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, audiences are finally getting the chance to experience Ruben Östlund's scathingly vicious takedown of the rich and powerful in his first English-language film. One of the many reasons why the film works as well as it does is because of the character Abigail, played by Filipina actress Dolly De Leon. She was kind enough to spend time talking with me about her role in the film, how she came on board, working with the late Charlbi Dean, what she has coming up next, and more!

Together we're reviewing the newest film from Nicholas Stoller, "Bros," starring Billy Eichner, Luke Macfarlane, Harvey Fierstein, Ts Madison, Monica Raymund, Guillermo Díaz, Guy Branum, Amanda Bearse, Jim Rash & Bowen Yang.

"God's Creatures" is the first time filmmakers and frequent collaborators Sales Davis and Anna Rose Holmer share directorial credit on a film. Following their previous film, "The Fits," the duo are one of the most exciting pairs working in the field today, and that continues with this psychological drama that premiered earlier this year at Cannes. Davis and Rose Holmer were kind enough to talk with us about directing the three main performances from Emily Watson, Paul Mescal, and Aisling Franciosi, how much of a vital role sound plays in the film, and what they have coming up next.

The 74th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held last week at the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, on September 12th. Unfortunately, I missed watching the show live because I was at the Toronto International Film Festival, but I wouldn't miss the chance to podcast about the show and its winners for the world.
