Together we're reviewing the final installment in the "Halloween" trilogy from director David Gordon Green, "Halloween Ends" starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Andi Matichak, James Jude Courtney, Will Patton, Rohan Campbell & Kyle Richards. How did we feel about this film as a conclusion to 2018's "Halloween" and "Halloween Kills?"

"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. Please make sure to see the film now playing in theaters from MUBI; take a listen down below and enjoy! Thank you. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Zoe Rose Bryant, Dan Bayer, Tom O'Brien, and guest Murtada Elfadl. Together we're reviewing the newest film from director Todd Field after a sixteen-year absence, "TÁR," starring Cate Blanchett, Noémie Merlant, Nina Hoss, Sophie Kauer, Julian Glover, Allan Corduner & Mark Strong. The film has spurred many conversations around its themes about cancel culture, Cate Blanchett's towering performance, and Field's direction. What did we think of the film?

"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!

For Episode 313, I am joined by Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Will Mavity. For this week's show, we are talking about the beginning of the 2022 New York Film Festival (NYFF), where "White Noise" fits into the Oscar race, and Danielle Deadwyler's chances to crack the Best Actress lineup for her performance in "Till." We also give our reactions to the trailers for "Bones And All," "Aftersun," and "Raymond & Ray," go over the polls, answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Please take a listen down below.

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Josh Parham & Dan Bayer. 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. The first major studio film with an all-gay cast, the romantic comedy, written by Stoller and Eichner, is making history and knows it too as it presents a modern rom-com that understands the LGBTQ+ history that came before it and what will hopefully come after its release. What did we think of the characters, the writing, the jokes, and how it portrays gay romantic relationships? Please take a listen down below and enjoy! Thank you!

"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. We hope you will check out the film, which is now playing in theaters and available on demand from A24. Please take a listen down below. Thank you!

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Sara Clements, Josh Parham, Eve O'Dea & Dan Bayer. Together we're reviewing the latest film from director Andrew Dominik Wilde, "Blonde," starring Ana de Armas, Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale, Xavier Samuel & Julianne Nicholson. The much-anticipated (or, in some cases, dreaded) fictional biopic film on Marilyn Monroe is finally streaming on Netflix and has brought up much controversy related to its NC-17 rating. What did we ultimately think of the filmmaking, Ana de Armas' performance, the writing, and graphic content? We discuss all of these points and more in our review, which you can listen to down below.

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Eve O'Dea & Danilo Castro. Together we're reviewing the latest film from Olivia Wilde, "Don't Worry Darling," starring Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, Chris Pine & Olivia Wilde herself. Steeped in behind-the-scenes controversy where many don't know what's real or not (much like the lead character in the film), the film has garnered a lot of publicity, but what did we ultimately think of it?

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. Here to join me to talk about everything that happened, including some brief thoughts on some new shows we've been watching, such as "House Of The Dragon," "The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power," and "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law," I have Zoe Rose Bryant. This will be our last Next Best Series Podcast episode until after the Oscars. We're planning to come back with exclusive review shows for "House Of The Dragon" and a few others, so stay tuned for that. We thank you for all of your support and hope you enjoy it! See you soon!

"Goodnight Mommy" is a remake of the 2014 Austrian horror film of the same name and stars Naomi Watts in the lead role. The film is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Director Matt Sobel was kind enough to spend a few moments talking with us about his work on the film, including how he came on board the project, working with Naomi Watts, and what it was like having to live up to the original film and make it his own.

After taking a week off due to the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) we're back to give you all a massive update on the Oscar race with a rundown of all of the films we saw at TIFF.

Together we're reviewing the latest film from Gina Prince-Bythewood, "The Woman King," starring Viola Davis, Thuso Mbedu, Lashana Lynch, Sheila Atim & John Boyega. A historical action epic set in Africa featuring strong, powerful, Black women in the lead roles is something you do not see coming out of the Hollywood studio system every day.

"See How They Run" is one of the more impressive directorial debuts from 2022. Director Tom George and screenwriter Mark Chappell are a match made in heaven as they take the "Whodunnit" genre and flip it on its head with a tribute to the work of Agatha Christie that is a deceptively modern, meta, and vastly entertaining murder mystery in its own right. Tom was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about his work on the film, working with the cast, crafting a compelling murder mystery in 2022, and more.

"God's Country" had its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, where it received positive notices for its direction, writing, and lead performance from Emmy Award-winning actress Thandiwe Newton ("Westworld"). Director and co-writer Jullian Higgins was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about the film's themes, working with Thandiwe, and more.

"Speak No Evil" had its world premiere, digitally, at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, where it shocked and terrified audiences with its dark humor, which grows more sinister and more threatening until the cringe comedy is completely erased, and all that is left is stomach-churning horror. One of the stand-out films from the festival, it's been playing in limited release in New York and Los Angeles but will now be available to stream on Shudder starting September 16th. Director and writer Christian Tafdrup was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about the film (both without spoilers and with indicated spoilers for those who do not wish to know where this twisted film goes).

For Episode 310, I am joined by Tom O'Brien, Dan Bayer, and guest Jorge Don Birnham. This is an interesting podcast because this is a series of conversations conducted over the Labor Day weekend while I was at the Telluride Film Festival with Jorge. He and I bookend the podcast with our drives to and coming from Telluride. In between, I talk with Tom on two separate occasions about his experience at the Venice Film Festival and chat one last time with Dan about what we're looking forward to seeing at the Toronto International Film Festival this week.

"Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul" premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received good notices for Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown's satirical performances as a husband and wife team running a modern-day evangelical church. The two of them were kind enough to spend a few minutes chatting with us, followed by another brief conversation with the film's director, writer, and producer, Adamma Ebo, and her co-producer (and sister) Adanne Ebo.

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Amy Smith, Josh Parham & Daniel Howat. Together, we're reviewing the latest film from director George Miller, "Three Thousand Years Of Longing," starring Tilda Swinton & Idris Elba. The film premiered out of competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival and is following up the biggest success of his career with the critically acclaimed and Oscar-winning "Mad Max: Fury Road." It's the kind of film a filmmaker as visionary as Miller could only make after the success of his previous film because it's one hell of a big swing, filled with fantastical imagery and lots of flashbacks in a sprawling love story commenting on the nature of storytelling. What did we think of the story, performances, and technical aspects? Tune in below to find out. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

"Breaking" premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received strong notices for the performances by the cast, John Bodega, Nicole Beharie, and the late Michael K. Williams. Director Abi Damaris Corbin and her co-writer, Kwame Kwei-Armah, sought to tell the tragic true story of former veteran Brian Brown-Easley and looked at many other tension-filled, single-location thrillers to capture the anxiety and drama of such a high-stake situation. Abi was kind enough to spend some time talking about what drew her to the story, working with the cast, her inspirations, and what she took away from the experience of making her first feature-length film. We hope you take a listen down below and check out the film, now playing in theaters from Bleecker Street. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

"The Dropout" was one of the most talked-about shows of the year with its mesmerizing, transformative performance from Amanda Seyfried in the lead role of Elizabeth Holmes. One of the standout episodes from the show was episode 6, "Iron Sisters." The director of that episode, Francesca Gregorini, is nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie at the year's Primetime Emmy awards, making her the only female nominated in the category.

The music of "Succession" has become one of the most iconic in modern television. Having already won an Emmy for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music for the first season, composer Nicholas Britell is nominated this year for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score) for the third season (he was also previously nominated for season two). Having exploded in popularity in recent years due to his frequent collaborations with Barry Jenkins, Adam McKay, and now with the success of "Succession" (which has been nominated for and already won a ton of Emmys), Britell is one of the most sought after composers working in television and film today. He was kind enough to take a few moments from his busy schedule to discuss his work on his nominated episode "Chiantishire," what his thought process is behind the show's most iconic themes and how he develops them, what he plans for the show's fourth season and much more!

No other show this past television season felt as pertinent as "Station Eleven," considering it's a miniseries about a pandemic and was in the middle of shooting when its production was forced to pause due to the actual COVID-19 pandemic. The HBO Max miniseries is now nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Himesh Patel. Himesh was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with us about what it was like working on the show, how he felt about his Emmy nomination, what it was like becoming a father during production, his feelings towards his leading role in Danny Boyle's "Yesterday" and if he would like to one day tackle the iconic role of James Bond.

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 2012 retrospective is coming to an end this month. Our second to last throwback podcast review is Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Hal Holbrook & Tommy Lee Jones. Written by Tony Kushner, the film was a perfect merger of writer, actor, and director coming together to present an iconic figure in American history but finding ways to humanize him and showcase the most important period of his life rather than telling us a traditional biopic. The film received 12 Oscar nominations and won 2, including a third historic Best Actor win for Daniel Day-Lewis. How does the film hold up a decade later? Tune in as we discuss the screenplay, acting by the enormous ensemble, Spielberg's craftsmanship, and more. Joining me for this review, I have Nicole Ackman, Josh Parham, Sara Clements, Dan Bayer & Danilo Castro. You can also check out all of our previous 2012 retrospective reviews for "Zero Dark Thirty," "Skyfall," "Amour," "Beasts Of The Southern Wild," "Django Unchained," "Silver Linings Playbook" & "Life Of Pi" if you have not done so already.

"I Love My Dad" had its world premiere at the South By Southwest Film Festival (SXSW), where it won the Best Narrative Feature Competition jury prize and audience awards.

Actress turned writer, and director Quinn Shephard made her feature directorial debut in 2017 with the release of "Blame." Now, here she is five years later with her follow-up film, which has a wider platform (the film is currently streaming on Hulu), a bigger cast, and budget. "Not Okay" tells the satirical story of a wannabe influencer and writer who is a compulsive liar, piggybacking off of the trauma of others, all in an attempt to go viral. The unlikable lead character is brought to vivid life by Zoey Deutch. Quinn was kind enough to spend a few moments talking about the film's main character, where the idea for the movie came from, discovering 2022's breakout star Mia Isaac and more.
