The Next Best Picture Podcast

This week, Josh Parham & guest Kathia Woods join me for our main podcast review of the Aretha Franklin Biopic "Respect" starring Jennifer Hudson, Forest Whitaker, Marlon Wayans & Marc Maron. What did we think of the film's approach to telling the life story of the Queen of Soul? How did we feel about the performances, notably Jennifer Hudson, who was hand-picked by Franklin herself to play her? We discuss all of these topics and more in our review, which you can listen to down below. Enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

After what has felt like a forever-long delay from its initial release due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 20th Century Studios is finally releasing "Free Guy" in theaters this weekend starring Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Joe Keery & Taika Waititi. It's been called "The Truman Show" for a new generation, and the result is an enthusiastic, fun, and surprisingly thoughtful social commentary on free will and the imaginary worlds we create for ourselves outside of the real one. That fictional world in this film is "Free City," which required creative world-building and ingenuity to bring to life on the big screen. Production Designer Ethan Tobman was kind enough to discuss his work on the film with us, which you can listen to below. Enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture We are down to the final two podcasts in our 2013 retrospective. Next up is David O. Russell's hotly contested Best Picture nominee "American Hustle," starring Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence & Bradley Cooper. Receiving positive reviews, strong box-office, and 10 Academy Award nominations at the time of its release (including all four of its main actors), the film has always had a divisive reaction amongst those in the industry and the online community, which continues to this day. Eight years later, what do we think of the film today? Has the story held up? What about the performances? How do we feel about O. Russell's stylistic attempts to mimic Martin Scorsese? We discuss all of these elements and more in this messy review for an equally messy movie. Joining me for this review, I have Amanda Spears, Michael Schwartz, Casey Lee Clark, Zoe Rose Bryant, and guest Ryan C. Showers. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

There's no denying that David Lowery's A24 fantasy epic "The Green Knight" is one of the most visually stunning achievements of 2021. Every design element had to be meticulously planned, constructed, and executed to bring the Arthurian legend to the screen. Two of the people most instrumental in that process were Production Designer Jade Healy and Cinematographer Andrew Droz Palermo. Both were kind enough to spend a few moments with me discussing their work on the film, their collaborations with Lowery, and what they have coming up next. If you've seen the film, you know this is a conversation worth listening to! Enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

This week, Sara Clements, Casey Lee Clark & Dan Bayer join me for our second podcast review of the newest film from filmmaker David Lowery, "The Green Knight," starring Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton & Sean Harris. The fantasy epic has divided audiences and united critics with its meditative and beautiful approach to the Arthurian poem it is based on. Filled with symbolism and no easy answers to its challenging questions about its themes, we have many interpretations of this new work of art from Lowery. As a result, this is a spoiler-filled discussion, so please don't listen if you have not already seen the movie. What did we think of the story, the craftsmanship, performances, and the many themes the film is working with? Tune in below to listen to us help each other sort our thoughts, and enjoy!

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Today is a big one. We're reviewing Alfonso Cuarón's technical masterpiece "Gravity," starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. A visual stunner upon its release, the film begged to be seen on the biggest screen possible (and in 3D) with its groundbreaking cinematography and visual effects. The story deeply resonated with audiences, too, bringing in a ton of box office and seven Academy Award wins, including Cuarón's first Best Director win. What do we think of it all of these years later? How does it hold up watching it at home as opposed to in the theater? What did we think of the story, the performances, and the craft on display?

Alex Wolff is one of the most exciting young actors working today. Never attempting to repeat himself, he has two movies currently playing in theaters ("Pig" and "Old") with vastly different performances in each of them.

That trend is only continuing with his latest performances. Alex was kind enough to talk with us about both projects, his experience working with M. Night Shyamalan, Nicolas Cage, and more!

Premiering earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival and screening later at the Tribeca Film Festival, NEON's latest documentary "Ailey" has garnered overwhelmingly positive critical praise for its look at one of the most influential dancers of all time, Alvin Ailey.

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2013 retrospective continues through July with a film that received a ton of praise, including three Oscar wins at the time of its release. It has gone on to be re-evaluated since then for its problematic casting and handling of its sensitive subject material. We are talking about "Dallas Buyers Club," starring Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, and Jennifer Garner. What do we think of the story, the performances, the writing, the directing and editing from Jean-Marc Vallée, the film's criticism, and more? It's a very detailed and nuanced conversation with a range of opinions. We hope you enjoy hearing from me, Amanda Spears, Zoe Rose Bryant & Patreon guest Tyler Strandberg.

"No Sudden Move" is the latest film from Steven Soderbergh (and is now streaming on HBO Max) that starts with a simple crime and evolves into something much bigger. Actress Amy Seimetz plays Mary Wertz, the wife of Matt Wertz (played by David Harbour), who ends up at the center of a babysitting job for three armed criminals. At the same time, her husband attempts to retrieve a document from his boss for the dangerous men, but of course, things don't go as planned. A filmmaker herself, Amy was kind enough to take some time to talk to us about working with Soderbergh, the other actors, how she made the most of limited screen time, and more!
