I've made it abundantly clear that my no. 1 favorite film of the year is Emerald Fennell's directorial debut "Promising Young Woman." Having seen the film a year ago at Sundance, it stayed at my no. 1 slot all year long and now, it even finds itself in the Oscar conversation. Receiving a chance to talk to the film's leading star Carey Mulligan and Emerald Fennell was such a thrill for me as I got many questions answered and behind-the-scenes insight into one of the best films of the year, what it means to the both of them and more! The movie is currently available to rent and purchase on digital through Focus Features and I hope you all get a chance to see it. Please take a listen down below to my conversation with Emerald and Carey. Enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

This week we're discussing the latest film on Netflix, which is another stage to screen adaptation from Tony Award winning playwright August Wilson ("Fences") titled "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," starring Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman.

Tomm Moore has been crafting some of the best animated films of the last decade including "The Secret of Kells" and "Song Of The Sea." Now, teaming up with Ross Stewart, the two's latest film "Wolfwalkers," which had its premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival and is currently playing on AppleTV+, is taking the animation world by storm.
